Cool Apple Ad….Again!

 
  • Apple has posted a clever little animated commercial spot featuring the Mac guy and the PC guy and that chubby fellow in the red hat. As usual, Apple has the most innovative and creative advertising on tv or web. Check it out on Apple’s home page.
  • On another note, Scott Kelby has posted a really good review of the Nikon D300. Find out more on his blog here.
  • Since it’s Friday, I will share one of my favorite time wasting activities. This is for you movie lovers out there. Check out the Apple movie trailer site. It’s got all the theatrical trailers for movies currently out and coming soon. Oh, and did I mention they are available in HD as well?

Invert to Alpha

When working with vector - created art and the source art is unavailable, modifying the art to create a logo can be a pain, to say the least—particularly when it’s flattened and the background needs to be knocked out.  A careful combination of Invert (Command - I [PC: Ctrl - I]), Color Balance (Command - B [PC: Ctrl - B]), and layer Blending Options (Control-click [PC: Right-click] the layer name) can yield simple background knockouts of one- or two-color logos without making a mess.
