On his blog today, Scott Kelby has posted numerous links to other people’s sites that have posted pictures and wrote up reviews from Photoshop World. As I mentioned, we all had blast and the event was a huge success. I want thank everyone who attended my sessions and say that I hope you had fun learning. I was especially excited to see the turnout for my Illustrator Down & Dirty Tricks session that I did in the NAPP Expo Theater. It seemed to go over really well. For those of you who missed it, you can find out more about the online course or the DVD over at Kelby Training. It contains the same examples I showed in the session, plus so much more.

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.
