    Good practical clone-source info for retouching problem areas. I can use the tip on many of my photos. Many thanks, Corey!

    I just have to say I am in love with Corey Barker! I got PS CS3 a few weeks ago and have been completely frustrated until today. After coming across this site I have gone through four tutorials and have created wonderful artwork with my pictures in a single day. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and providing these amazing tutorials. You have certainly made my purchase of PS CS3 worth every penny!

Invert to Alpha

When working with vector - created art and the source art is unavailable, modifying the art to create a logo can be a pain, to say the least—particularly when it’s flattened and the background needs to be knocked out.  A careful combination of Invert (Command - I [PC: Ctrl - I]), Color Balance (Command - B [PC: Ctrl - B]), and layer Blending Options (Control-click [PC: Right-click] the layer name) can yield simple background knockouts of one- or two-color logos without making a mess.
