Guest Host on Photoshop User TV

 

In case you haven’t seen it yet, RC and I were guest hosts on Photoshop User TV this week. Matt and Dave were out of town so Scott invited us on to share some Photoshop fun. As usual, I do a really cool movie effect based on the new Mummy movie. Pretty cool stuff. Check it out.

Also, we are closing in on Photoshop World. I am super excited. If you are going to be there, make sure you say hello when you see me. I would love to meet the Planet fans face to face. Also, don’t forget to check out the Photoshop World site for a list of all the events that will be happening at Photoshop World — like the party at House of Blues, Dinner with a Stranger, tech expo, and Midnight Madness. Personally, Midnight Madness has always been one of my favorite things. It’s just a lot of silly antics, and it’s a blast. Can’t Wait! See you there!

    I loved the mummy effect, Corey! How in the world do you think up these things? I’ve been exploring with light alot but admit not to have gave much thought to any other elements. I admire your spirit.

    Great tutorial from Photoshop TV. I was just looking at a photo I have of the terracotta army and wondering what could be done with it. I know you were a little rushed due to time constrants, so I hope redo it as a tutorial for the web site. Excellent job as always. You. You. You have a gift my friend.

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.
