101 Photoshop Tips in 5 Minutes

Submitted by deke on 21 May 2008 - 7:16pm.
dekePod Pilot #2: After just one Pilot episode and two years of darkness (during which I was romancing my sponsors, not just sitting on my hands, BTW), dekePod is back and with a vengeance. We're calling this one Pilot #2, to be followed by regular episodes once every other week, assuming we don't all kill ourselves. (These things are massively time-consuming.) Here's the official marketing description: If you've ever read a computer magazine, you know the idea behind "101 Tips."; One gala issue, lots of first-rate contributors, lots of quality information. And lots and lots of pages. But when's the last time one lone guy tried to capture 101 tips in video? In just 5 minutes of video? Set to music? This is the realm of dekePod, the once-every-other-weekly series from Deke McClelland. It's bold, it's brash, it's ridiculous. It's a podcast with serious issues. Enjoy. The above movie is served up by blip.tv, which I have to say, rocks. (In-site embed + no branding + widescreen = rocks.) It auto-converts the file to a Flash movie and (I think, tho it's difficult to confirm) lowers the frame rate. For a smoother, less compressed version -- that you can download! -- try one of these links:
  • For a standard-quality QuickTime movie, right-click here and choose Save Target or Download Link or the equivalent. 
  • For a slightly higher quality M4V file that you can play on an iPod, right-click here and choose one of those same commands. 
  • Or you can subscribe to dekePod via RSS or iTunes.
You can also check out the dekePod landing page at my book publisher O'Reilly Media. For a full transcription of the lyrics (available to members), click here.

Submitted by nathan EM on 27 July 2010 - 2:02pm.

I am looking to see what the best way to get good color output ... instead of the white lines that come with setting the black to 100% and the m,y and k to 0% ... I know if I set the black to 100% and the other colors to about 50% you get rid of the white line around a black border ... what is a suggested setup for say getting a light blue ... or a dark brown ...

Very useful!

There used to be a lot of of sketch plug ins available through independent channels that created line art, sketches etc. The last compatibility was with CS2. Allien Skin Eye Candy or so. You could line art photos, digitize etc. Many people lately don't want to use plug ins. a) they are expensive b) most of the things you can create other way with presets.

nice post. very informative.
