    Photoshop Tips ....

    Though it might be cool to create a collection of photoshop tips for people ...

    I'll start with one that I like ...

    Tip #1 -- Color within black and white.

    This will allow you to have parts of a black and white picture in full color. Pretty cool effect which can be used to really bring out the focus of a picture.

    1 -- Start with a full color copy of your picture.
    2 -- Create a new channel mixer layer.
    a. Select Layer => New Adjustment Layer => Channel Mixer.
    b. Name it select okay.
    c. In the color balancing screen that pops up, click monochrome and select okay.
    d. Now using your favorite selection tool, select the items you want to be in color.
    c. Select Edit => Cut, and the original color will now show through.
    e. Once you have all the cuts you need, flatten the layers.

    This will create the following effect (picture below)

    Quick Photoshop question.

    Been meaning to teach myself this program but never got around to really delcing into the meat and potatoes of it.

    Do Pshopers use tablets or crackballs?
    Return to the free market. Get rid of all government regulations and let society make it's own decisions. Time and again the relaxing of government regulations has increased profits, innovation and the economy.

              LOL ... very true ...

              I had friends though that did quite well on their old Amiga's back in the day ... especially those lucky enough to have Video Toaster setups.

                            Whats up man ... were you on Invictus? Good playing out there ...

                            I hated that damn brickyard field ... over 95% of the teams that had that side show in the pic lost their games .. was unbalanced.

                            You guys going to be at the Aug 17th event?
