Well, other than the new movie Speed Racer, which I will definitely check out this weekend, the news is that Scott Kelby’s newest course: Professional Portrait Retouching, was just released on the Kelby Online Training site today.
This highly-anticipated course takes you through the processes of some of the most sought-after retouching techniques anywhere. Scott covers stuff like enhancing lighting, changing eye color, removing stubble, highlighting hair, and so much more. It’s all presented in his straight-forward, non-technical style. This course will have you retouching photos like a pro in no time.

If you’re trying to set type that looks typographically correct in Photoshop, there’s an old habit you’ll have to break, and that’s the curse of putting two spaces at the end of every sentence. This is a holdover from people who at one time used traditional typewriters, where adding two spaces was necessary, but in typesetting that’s a huge no-no. About 70% of the text I copy-and-paste from text files that people give me has two spaces, but I use this Photoshop tip to fix the problem in just seconds. First, go under the Edit menu and choose Find and Replace Text. In the Find field, press the Spacebar twice (entering two spaces), then in Change To, press the Spacebar just once. Click Change All, and every time Photoshop finds two spaces at the end of a sentence, it will replace it with just one, making you typographically correct.
