dekePod Here's the latest in the Photoshop Top 40 Countdown. Did you know Smart Objects were more like protective envelopes?

Smart objects aren't all that smart. And they aren't objects. What they are is envelopes. The kind that hold things. And keep them safe. So that everything you do protects the image from harm. This is Photoshop at its best. ...

Be they pits, pock marks, or pimples, we all suffer blemishes that we wish we didn't. Or so we would were it not for Photoshop's Healing Brush. This amazing tool grafts good skin onto bad--and heals the seams in between. ...

dekePod The brush tool comes in at #31. We knew that, right? But can you guess what's coming up next?

dekePod This week the Photoshop Top 40 is at #32 with "The Pen Tool".
www.youtube.com
Many folks select images in Photoshop with the likes of the Quick Select and Magic Wand tools. Highly automated, but these tools rarely work accurately. Experts use the Pen tool. Using the Pen tool is an art form worth learning, because it always works. ...
dekePod Counting down the "Photoshop Top 40" hits #33--Calculations: the backbone of masking!

I Hope if you can make a Martini hour about that ... because we are in need for that ,,, it's really imporant for us especially for people overseas like me.. we need to understand that in an international look...
thanks again.
