Best Photoshop Feature You've Never Heard Of?
I went to a Photoshop Seminar yesterday given by Katrin Eismann.
As is the norm for most of these things, she covered a wealth of information and it all comes at you rather quickly. She covered her specialties, Layers, Masking, Compositing, etc., as well as some of the new features of Photoshop CS2 such as Camera RAW. Most of the info was old news to me, but I always learn something new at these seminars, which I highly recommend. http://www.software-cinema.com/camps.php One feature of both CS and CS2 that I'd never heard of is the ability to save all of your Photoshop modifications into the History Log. This is an option under Preferences/General. Katrin suggests that you choose the "Metadata" and the "Detailed" settings here. What this does is to save a record of any change you've made to the file and embed the information into the metadata of the file itself. Photoshop records every setting you used to alter the image. The info can be viewed later using the "File Info" command. Also, it doesn't add too much to the file size of the image since it is just embedding some additional text. Cool stuff. Btw, if you want to purchase any of the training DVDs on the Software Cinema website I have a coupon code that'll get you 15% off. Just e-mail me. Any other surprises in Photoshop that people have discovered recently? The "Blend If" sliders were new to me before I went to a PS seminar last year. |
