Special Tutorial on YouTube!
For those of you who might have missed it, just about a week ago I was the guest blogger over at Scott Kelby’s blog. My post was on the topic of creative exploration and the creative exercises I do to generate ideas. In addition to the post, I produced a video tutorial exclusively for the blog which was then posted on YouTube. It was well received and I got a lot of positive feedback on that and the video. Click here to read the post and click here to view the video.
Also we are getting really close to Photoshop World in Las Vegas. I am super excited because this involves two my favorite things: Photoshop and Las Vegas. What a combination. Hey, if you are and you are trying to figure out which classes to attend. Check out the Photoshop World Planner by Dave Cross. This downloadable pdf lets you set a schedule of which classes you want to attend. Have fun and we will see you in Vegas!

Document Your Happy Accidents
Sometimes our best creations happen by pure experimentation and accident. Sitting in front of a Photoshop file, you are 40 History States in, and then it happens—magic! You really want to be able to get back to that moment. To do so, make sure that you turn on the History Log checkbox in the General Preferences (Photoshop>Preferences>General [PC: Edit>Preferences>General]). You can save the information as metadata, as a separate text file, or both!

What I love about your video is that it shows how powerful experimentation can be. In other words, although I may not use the exact effect you have demonstrated, I am very inspired to spend more time just trying out possibilities.
