SpyView: Photoshop Classic Effects: The
Essential Effects Every User Needs to
Know
12/22/2004 01:26 AMAuthor Scott Kelby has written an easy-to-read book that any serious
Adobe Photoshop user is sure to want on their desk for easy access to
the more than 100 “classic” Photoshop projects.
Step-by-step, Kelby walks the reader through techniques that result in
the stunning, professional effects that you see everyday in magazines,
on billboards, in newspapers and on the Internet. Examples of the
projects include using one photo as the background and focal point;
creating chrome bevelled type; tinting black and white photos and
creating reflections and various shadowing techniques. Kelby states
simply that “these are the effects your clients expect you to know if
you are a professional Photoshop user”.
Kelby, editor of Photoshop User magazine and author of several
bestselling Photoshop books, has cut the learning time dramatically
for newer users of the program. Photoshop Classic Effects doesn’t
require you to work through one tutorial after another, but enables
you to easily find the project you’re interested in using, which is
why you’ll want to keep it handy for future reference. Kelby has used
language throughout the book that is easy to understand and provides
the user commands for both Mac and Windows platforms.
The book is beautifully illustrated with full color photographs by
Brand X Pictures. If you want to follow along using the same photos
Kelby used in his projects, the low-res images are available for
download at http://www.scottkelbybooks.com/classicphotos.
If you’re interested in this book, but still undecided whether to make
the purchase, you might want to try a few of Kelby’s samples for
yourself. Publisher Peach Pit Press has included some of the author’s
step-by-step projects on a tip sheet which is available for download
from http://www.peachpit.com/title/0321272250#.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge
Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge
06/17/2005 07:13 PMFor most graphic artists, Adobe's applications are their bread and
butter. Adobe Creative Suite 2 recently hit the streets, but is it
worth paying the price to upgrade? We have a comprehensive look at
Photoshop CS2 along with Bridge, an image browser which "connects" the
Creative Suite 2 applications.
In Photoshop 7, Adobe added a file browser to Photoshop
and let it chill for two versions seeing if it would get better with
age (it didn't). It was a good idea but weird in Photoshop, a really
document-centric program. Now, they've taken it out of Photoshop, made
it an independent program to act as a connector between apps much like
say, a concrete passageway or a road above water.
It makes a lot more sense this way since it was really out of place
as a floating window inside the Photoshop interface. Adobe has added a
favorites and collections pane in addition to the basic file system
browsing, chocked it full of features to interact with other Adobe
apps and added an interactive thumbnail zoom that works much like
iPhoto's.
Of course, there are plenty of other apps on both Windows and Mac
OS X that perform the same function (GraphicConverter represent!). Is
the combination of some spiffy new features in Photoshop CS2 and the
new Bridge enough to make an upgrade worthwhile? There's only one way
to find out...

Y2K Effects
Y2K Effects
01/04/2005 01:07 PMThe Surprising
Legacy of Y2K: It turns out there were some very surprising
secondary effects of the Y2K panic. I will admit to having never
considered any of these — in my mind, Y2K was a huge hole into
which companies poured money to no benefit other than the acute
problem avoidance.
[...] it was probably responsible for the rise of the
Indian offshore IT boom. It also resulted in big productivity gains as
decades of cruft were removed from datacenters during the fixes. For
example, when the NY Stock Exchange was able to reassmble its systems
six days after 9/11, it was because of the Y2K-related work they'd
done.
This is a link to a link, but the OSNews blurb summarizes the more
in-depth piece nicely.

Remember the magical feeling you had when
you first used a Macintosh, and played with those early bundled
applications, MacPaint and MacDraw? The magic - though you may not
have been conscious of this at the time - lay in the fact that these
tiny applications were essentially just showcases for the Mac's
underlying technology. You could draw a square or an oval, with a
thick or thin line, filled solid or with a pattern, because those were
all basic QuickDraw primitives; in effect, you were accessing the very
same code that gave the Mac itself its distinctive look, allowing it
to draw windows and buttons in the first place.
