In this episode of Photoshop Quicktips we take a break from the CS3 Beta reviews and jump right back into Photoshop CS2 for a lesson in composition. In this tutorial I show you how to create a grunge collage by using a single photo and little bit of Photoshop magic.

Hopefully our resolution issues have been resolved. The podcast is now in 640x480 format (double its original resolution) and as far as I know stil compatible with iPods. If you have any trouble viewing this episode or putting it on your iPod please post here on the blog. I really need feedback so that I know this new format is going to be acceptable. Thanks for your patience during this transitional phase.

Legacy workspaces, hidden presets, and cell phone wallpaper. The more you look, the more you'll find in this CS3 Beta. In this episode I'll show you some of the interesting things I have found while poking around in the new program. I'll also show you how to jump start your exploration of the program by using a custom workspace built by Adobe.

It has been brought to my attention that the video quality on the latest episodes of Photoshop Quicktips is very poor. Trust me, I understand this and I am working very hard to get this corrected ASAP. I recently switched screen capturing programs and it is taking a while to get the kinks worked out in this new program.

Hopefully the episode of Quicktips that is launching on Sunday will be of the same (if not better) quality as all the original shows. I thank you very much for your patience on this issue and apologize for the inconvenience.

Here's another little feature that I absolutely love in the new CS3 Beta of Photoshop… The Print dialog box. I know this sounds weird for someone to have an infatuation with this particular dialog box but if you look closely, you'll see noticeable and time-saving improvements.

No longer do we have to bother with the option of Print vs. Print with Preview. This truly is a one-stop shop for printing.

One of the coolest things in this new beta release of Photoshop is the new Quick Selection Tool and the addition of the Refine Edge Menu. These two little tool are going to change the way we make selections forever! Join me as I show you these new tools and some of the cool things they are capable of. You'll never stress over a selection again.

If you've ever searched for how to convert a photo to black and white, you undoubtedly know that there a MILLIONS of ways to do so. Everybody who has ever owned Photoshop has there own way of black and white conversions. Up until now I really couldn't say that any one technique was that much better than all the rest.

Enter the Photoshop CS3 Beta. You can now use a Black and White adjustment layer to convert your digital photographs in a way you never thought possible. Never before have you had this much control over your black and whites.

Some of the coolest features of the new CS3 Beta release are inside the Adobe Bridge. In this episode I show you a few of my favorite Bridge features that are new in this beta release.
