Hot Topic Post - Looking for your Participation
Friday, May 30th, 2008
Okay, since I’m going post happy here let me start up a topic that we mainly deal with on an everyday basis. Considering that we’re soon to get CS4…and god knows that we aren’t even done learning every little nook and cranny in CS3 yet, lets look and see the benefits in the upgrades while we’re on the move to the next level…err…release.
Tell me…or should I say "Tell Us" what Adobe programs you use on the day to day basis.
• What do you hate or love about this/these programs you use everyday?
• What do you look forward to in the next versions?
• What can you use that hasn’t been implemented in your version?
• How can you get work done faster with these improvement(s)
By doing this we will be helping all the people like ourselves improve at work. Create a steady workflow. Possibly do things better with a open mind and learn to appreciate the upgrades as they come from the labs of the creators.
I am one that can’t wait to get my hands on the new software once it arrives. I’ve come to learn that waiting a little while until the upgrade is finally ready/complete is the way to go…just incase of any glitches…you know 
. Lets all give each other some help here…lets all be heard. You never know!

Adobe Illustrator CS3 Tip – Reapplying a Selection Command

Adobe Illustrator CS3 Tip – Reapplying a Selection Command
I just made a selection in a complex design, by first selecting an object Filled with a certain color and going to the Select menu>Same>Fill.
All objects that share that same Fill color with the original are now selected. I change the Fill color of all these selected objects, and click another object in my design.
Is there a quick way to reapply this same selection command using my newly selected object without another visit to the Select menu. Yes! Simply press Command+6 (Control+6 on PC) and the last selection command will be repeated using the currently selected object. So all objects that share the same Fill color with the newly selected object will be selected in an instant.

Alien Skin’s Software: Exposure 2 - Fantastic Vintage Effects For Your Digital Photography
Friday, April 11th, 2008 
Okay, about 3 maybe 4 weeks ago I received a CD in the mail from the Alien Skin’s Lab introducing to me the latest release of their new version of Exposure…Exposure 2. I have never got to look into Exposure 1 in the past, but I have done some reviews on some previous releases of Alien Skin’s Software.
This new piece of software really caught my attention once I installed it. Simply because I get true dynamic finished looks at a touch of a button. Exposure 2 is a plug-in (naturally), it is run from within Photoshop’s filter menu and is started in either color or black and white mode which is a smart move from the guys/gals over at Alien Skin’s Lab.
Alien Skin’s Exposure 2 is compatible with Adobe Photoshop CS2 & CS3 which is great for the many people who haven’t gotten the upgrade. Installation is simple, just slip in the disk, click and go. Of course registration is required but after all that you are on your way on to getting great photography finishes once installed.
