Hello Everyone,

Let me begin by apologizing for my prolonged absence from this site and the show. I never intended for it to be this long, nor did I mean to disappoint all of you. In truth, the Photoshop Quicktips podcast has really been the last thing on my mind recently. I've had some very troubling times personally and professionally as of late, and I have simply taken some time to step back and reassess where I am going from here.

I will say, that it is my intention to continue podcasting. However, it may not be in the manner you are used to, as the details are still being hashed out. I will make an announcement in the coming weeks detailing the future of the show. I want to thank all of you for being so patient, loyal, and respectful throughout these past few months and I promise that you won't be disappointed by what the future holds. Again, thank you and I'll talk to you soon.

Unfortunately, this week's episode of Quicktips will be delayed. I am working hard to fix the problem and the new episode should be out by mid-week. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

In this week's episode of Quicktips I answer one of the most commonly asked questions that I receive from viewers… "How do I copy a specific color from a website?" The answer is very simple and I'll show you how to do it quickly and easily using Photoshop!

One of the questions I see most often in my inbox is "are there any keyboard shortcuts for adjustment layers?" The short answer to this is no, but in this week's episode of Quicktips, I will show you how you can fix this problem.

In this week's episode of Quicktips we take a look at how to create a comic book effect on your digital photographs. This is a very quick and easy technique that creates a very cool effect in the end.

Many people have emailed me saying I am being too CS3 specific on this podcast, so this week I show you how to achieve this effect using CS3 and non-CS3 versions of Photoshop. the best part is, all of the techniques are completely non-destructive!

In this episode of Quicktips we take a look at how to spice up your landscape photography using a very unusual and artistic technique. This is a really cool effect that will really help you take those photos that are just "ok" and turn them into a nice work of art.

Photoshop Quicktips needs your help. In order to keep this podcast going we need to sell some advertising. Before we can move forward we need some information about our viewers (nothing too personal, don't worry).

Cross Processing has been a popular photographic technique for many years and with the innovation of digital tools the look of cross processed photos has become even more popular. There are many plug-ins and tools out there that will help you achieve an effect such as this, but all of those tools require more time and money than I am willing to spend.

Luckily when I was poking around in the curves dialogue box I actually found a preset that does a very nice job of "cross processing" a photograph. Add this as an adjustment layer and you've got yourself a kick-butt technique, and most importantly a non-destructive effect!

Every week I receive a ton of email asking about different Photoshop techniques. One of the most requested techniques is how to change the color of an object (usually a shirt or car, etc.) and in this episode that question is answered.

We are going to use the Select Color Range command in Photoshop to achieve this color change and when we're done, you'll be amazed at just how easy it really is.
