Photoshop Book of the Week

 

I’ve noticed a lot of people asking what good books on Photoshop there are out there. Well I thought that I would start by highlighting a book each week. This week I am recommending Katrin Eismann’s Masking and Compositing book. It’s a remarkable book on generating complex selections, color correction, using layers and masks, and creative compositing. This book is intended for the intermediate to advanced user. The book also has a companion web site where you can download the tutorial images to practice the techniques yourself. Find out more about this book here.

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.
