Photoshop for Forensics

Here is a site I stumbled upon over the weekend. With forensic imaging becoming more and more prominent, it was only a matter of time before someone started writing about it. This blog is hosted by Jim Hoerricks and discusses news and techniques in the world of forensics. The blog includes tips and techniques for using Photoshop in a forensic workflow. So, even if you are not a criminalist, it’s still interesting to see what other industries are doing with Photoshop.

Hi Corey!

I really enjoyed Layers TV, episode 26 when you were talking about the various Wacom tablets!

I own one of their Special Edition models that also comes with the Airbrush Pen and am really enjoying it! I’m amazed at how much more power I now have with Photoshop CS3’s brushes. I still have to order the Mouse though, which I plan on doing very soon.

I like the way you’ve spruced up your website by the way! It was great before even.

Keep posting those great tutorials you do on the site as well!

Open in Camera Raw from Bridge

You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).
