Configurator: CS4 Treasure Trove

Submitted by deke on 29 August 2009 - 12:19am.

Last week, Colleen and I invited Adobe's own Jeff Tranberry to join us for our weekly Martini Hour. During the show, we discussed the Configurator, which is a free utility from Adobe Labs that lets you create custom palettes for Photoshop CS4.

If you've ever used Configurator, you know that it provides access to just about every tool and command available to Photoshop. Make a new palette, drag a tool or command into it, and you have your own customized interface. Problem is, Adobe left out a few of the new features available to Photoshop CS4, including the Adjustments palette and Vibrance command. I now make them available to you in the form of a palette I'm calling Photoshop CS4 Treasure Trove.

Martini Hour 028, In Which Deke Laughs Maniacally for No Apparent Reason

Submitted by colleen on 20 August 2009 - 12:10am.

Welcome, dear dekeOtonians to another Thursday full of martinis and mayhem. This week, we're joined by Adobe's own patient and talented Jeff Tranberry, Senior Quality Product Specialist who toils for you, the end user, from Adobe's secret Minnesota stronghold. That means he's the guy who makes sure that by the time you try to employ Photoshop in your everyday life, someone (that would be Jeff) has said, "Ahem, um, this might not be working exactly right." Buy this man a frosty microbrew.

Some of you may recall that Jeff was the one who (despite trying to have an evening out with friends) helped Deke write his free Channels & Masks Configurator panel, which houses all the tools you need to do the tasks delineated in his Photoshop CS4 Channels & Masks One-on-One book.

Here are some of the highlights from this week's show: Read more »
