Kuler is Cool!!

Well, if you haven’t heard of Kuler, then you are missing out on what is possibly going to be a big deal in the world of color. Kuler is a fully-interactive web app for creating and sharing color sets using Adobe’s newest color engine. This is the same new color engine as seen in the newest version of Adobe Illustrator. The site gives you the ability to create your own color sets, or you can search through a library of color sets submitted by other users. It’s a good way to see what others are using and what color trends are popular. Check it now here.

User Tip:

If you have ever worked with guides, or even any of the drawing or selection tools, you have probably encountered situations where the cursor is always “snapping’ to the edge of the document or to a guide line. This happens because the Snap To feature under the View menu is activated. It is a useful feature and it’s probably a good idea to leave it on, but you can temporarily disable it by pressing and holding down the Control key [PC:Ctrl]. This will allow for more control near those edges.

No More Freeehand

With the acquisition of Macromedia and the overwhelming grasp that Adobe Illustrator has on the current market; Adobe has no plans to further develop Freehand. The vector based program has been around for a very long time, in fact, I first started using Freehand in college but migrated to Illustrator just a couple years later. This perhaps may come as a bit of a surprise to some Freehand users, but I think those users who have been keeping up-to-date saw this day coming. A while back Adobe published the FreeHand to Illustrator Migration Guide, which is a downloadable PDF document and is a good primer if you’re unfamiliar with Illustrator.

Command-Option-~(Tilde)

I have used this keyboard shortcut several times in my tutorials to load the image luminosity as a selection and a lot of people have been unable to make it work on a Mac system. This is because the Mac OS has this particular keyboard command assigned to another system function. To fix this you can go into the Mac OS System Preferences under the Apple menu. Go to Keyboard and Mouse and click the last tab called Keyboard Shortcuts. Scroll down and twirl down Keyboard Navigation, then scroll down to ‘Move focus to the window drawer’. Turn this feature off by unchecking the box next to it. Now this keystroke will work inside Photoshop.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
