Photoshop tip



I just learned this neat photoshop tip. You may have already known about this. If you have just keep it to yourself and don't blow my bubble. LOL.
It's a good way to remove dark circles from under the eyes. I also used it to get rid of some of the shiny parts around my nose. I found this on photoshopmama.net.

Duplicate the background.
Create an empty layer above the background copy.
Get an Airbrush soft round medium size at 100% opacity and flow, and Option/Alt click on nearby lighter color to sample for foreground color.
Airbrush over the dark circles.
Follow up with a Gaussian Blur to soften edges but not negate the coverage effects of the concealor. Imagine if you were putting on concealor in the real world...so it's not meant to look natural at this point. It's just a base to compensate.

Pesky little things.

So this is a yellow jacket. Last night Ralph was stung multiple times by them. Not really sure how many but enough that he was carried away in an ambulance and taken to the hospital. After he was stung he started to complain that he couldn't see, couldn't breath and was dizzy. We were walking to the car to take him the the ER and before he could get to the car he collapsed. And let me tell you, I do not respond well to these situations. I panic and don't know what to do. Basically act like a blubbering idiot. Thank God for some fast acting neighbors! But all is well after being pumped with benadryl and steroids. We left a few hours later with a prescription for an epipen.

Funny Friday and CS4

I've been laughing my ass off all morning. I came across this comic strip this morning and literally spewed my coffee everywhere. For the last few weeks I've been waking Ralph up with foot rubs and back rubs trying to butter him up. When I saw this comic strip I felt totally busted! I don't think I realized what I was doing but it's pretty obvious after reading this. My friend Kelly linked me up to this site a few weeks ago. Very funny stuff. Check him out at What the Duck In other news....yesterday I downloaded the upgrade for CS4 and I am impressed! I've barely scratched the surface but so far the tab view is my new best friend. Yesterday I played around with the "content aware cropping" and that thing just blows my mind. If you haven't seen the video on that check it out here . Oh and the new adjustments window in pretty cool too. You can read more about the software review here. So if you've been on the fence about upgrading to CS4 I...
