New Design Effects Course at Kelby Training
I am excited to announce my newest course over at Kelby Online Training: Design Effects with Photoshop CS4. This course is for artists, graphic designers, and even photographers who may want to do a little more with their photos. It is jam-packed with techniques on creating some of the most popular effects around. The cool part is that this course is non-version specific. Which means that even though some lessons utilize new features in CS4, they will still work in earlier versions.
Also, check out my other new course: Photoshop CS4 for Beginners. This course not only covers the basic components of Photoshop CS4, but also covers practical techniques that will have you correcting and retouching your images in no time at all. Check them out here.

Using Subclips in Premiere Pro
Subclips are smaller parts of the bigger project. Use the Make Subclip command early and save yourself some time when you get to the timeline.
Creating Place Scale Markers
You know those scale markers they have on maps that say that 1″ equals 1 mile? Well, Photoshop can create something called Scale Markers. These are measurement guides that are created based on the measurement scale you use. Once a measurement scale is established, go under the Analysis menu and choose Place Scale Marker. In this example, I have established my measurement scale to interpret 100 pixels as 1″ in a file that’s 10″ wide at 100 dpi. So if I want to create a 3″ scale marker, then I would enter 3 in the Length field. I can also choose to display text as a label for the marker. You can choose its color and placement depending on the file.
