Seeing More Than One Folder Of Images At A Time

If you’d like to see more than one folder of photos onscreen at the same time, it’s no problem, because in CS2 you can have multiple Bridge windows open at the same time. Just press Command-N (PC: Control-N) and a new Bridge window will appear (your previous Bridge window will still be there). Now, navigate to the folder you want to display in this window, and you’re set-your original window is still open, and your new window is showing some new photos. Mighty darn handy stuff for a Buckaroo like yourself.

Lighting Effects

Corey jazzed up this photo by making a custom brush and applying an outer glow layer style to create the repeating patterns
Pin-up Effect

Using a mixture of filters and blending modes, Corey takes a stock photo and transforms it into an old, classic 1950’s pin-up poster.
Embossed Glass Logo

Instead of using a displacement map, here’s another method for taking a custom file and distorting it to match a background image.
Sci-Fi Text Effect

Corey stumbled upon this effect while experimenting with the smudge tool and its finger painting feature. Start off by

Text Shape Layers
Converting text into shapes allows you to distort the text as you like while retaining straight, clean edges.
Borders Under a Minute
Create really cool borders in under a minute to use on virtually any one of your photos or even video for that matter.
Design Effects
Corey shows how to use the luminosity of an image to create a cool design effect and spice up your simple photos.
Stylized Comic Book Effect
Using this effect, you can transform anyone into a comic book character with a halftone, saturated look.

Blend Tool Revisited
Corey's tutorial is about using Illustrator's blend tool to create some really interesting design effects.
HD Video in Flash Professional CS3
Flash CS3 Professional offers users a quick way to get HD content onto their web pages.
Managing Bookmarks in Acrobat
Rearrange and organize your bookmarks, as well as force the bookmarks panel open when someone opens the PDF.
Smokey Type Effect in After Effects
Type animation is one of the most wonderful functions to play with in After Effects, especially since version 6 introduced actual text character animation control.

Will More RAM Make Photoshop Run Faster?

Problem: You added more RAM to your system and assigned more RAM to Photoshop, but it doesn’t seem to run any faster. Reason: Adding RAM doesn’t always make Photoshop run faster. It only works if you didn’t have enough RAM to begin with. Adding RAM will only help to make your computer run as fast as it can, but it won’t make your 800-MHz computer run at 801 MHz. For example, if you work on Web images and the average image you work on is 3 MB, you only need about 15 or 20 MB assigned to Photoshop to have it run at full speed. If you’ve got that, and add another 256 MB of RAM, Photoshop won’t run any faster, because Photoshop only needs that 15 or 20 MB that you already had. Freaky. To check your RAM usage, go under the Photoshop menu, under Preferences, and choose Memory & Image Cache (on a Windows PC, Preferences are under the Edit menu).
