Photoshop CC 2014 Missing Manual – Review

26/09/2014

This manual is a massive 956 pages long and weighs in a 1.5kg, not a book you'll want to sit and read holding up, but its ok as a reference on your desk or for Missing Manualdropping onto the desk during an argument. The problem with books this size is keeping the beggers open at the right page while you reference it and work along. My non scientific tests reveal it'll sit open of its own accord from page 185 until page 770, then it just wants to keep closing itself and requires an object on its edge. There is a Kindle version, and I've had a previous version in electronic form and this works well and if you're used to this format. For me, it was OK, but having the book to thumb through and randomly read something that catches my eye is still the way forward. [More]

AdobeCover released a few mobile apps of late, one of them being Photoshop Mix. In this video I take a look at one of the features, Shake Reduction.

Installing Photoshop Kuler Panel and Why You Need It

26/06/2014

Some readers might remember that I wrote about bringing Kuler color themes into Photoshop some time ago, it was a real frustration that to me, and I dare say many others, that you couldn't connect to you own Kuler themes directly from Photoshop. Well, I'm pleased to say those days are over! [More]
