OK, when I first saw this thing I chuckled because if you see somebody using it, it just looks kind of silly. It’s called the xShot. It is simply an arm extension for your camera. Now, we have all been in the situation where we hold our camera out and point it at ourselves and perhaps a friend we are with, but what is wrong with every one of those shots – it looks like you shot it yourself. With the xShot you can hold your camera out further away from you and take a picture without it being obvious that your arm is holding the camera. Check out their web site here. It has video demos and pictures. Like I said, it seems a little silly at first, but it is really a cool little gadget.

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.
