Photoshop Shortcuts – The Fun Way In this post I’m going to focus on several Photoshop shortcuts that I tend to use more often than others. Sure I could sit here and spell out every single shortcut available, but why reinvent the wheel? Here is a list of 10 of my favorite and most used Photoshop shortcuts delivered to you via Mr. Stickman. Zoom with scroll Sure you can use the zoom tool straight off of the tool bar, but there is a much easier way. Individual font scaling If you’re looking to change the individual font size for a particular word or word-phrase within the text of your Photoshop document, simply highlight the text and hold Ctrl + Shift while using the > or < key to change the size of the font in 2px increments. 100% zoom Often times when I’m working on a project, I’ll zoom in particularly close to handle detail-oriented aspects of the design. Brush size I’m a fan of the brush tool, as most people are. Layer opacity The amount of transparency that a particular layer displays is know as it’s opacity. Super nudge

Kudzu-eating sheep to feast at Chastain Park, other local greenspaces Imagine being placed in a field that's covered with the most delicious culinary treats you could possibly want. The kind you crave but know you shouldn't eat in large quantities. Chocolate rivers next to acres of donuts, Twinkies, and pastries. For a herd of 100 sheep working this summer for Trees Atlanta, that's reality. The arbor-loving non-profit is leading a reforestation project in Chastain Park called "Have Ewe Heard?" The sheep, hired from Ewe-Niversally Green, will clear invasive plants, mainly privets and kudzu, from the park with the lowest impact possible. Trees Atlanta expects it'll take roughly two weeks for the sheep, which can clear up to 150 square feet of vegetation every day, to clean up the two acres at Chastain. To celebrate the start of the project, Trees Atlanta will host a one-hour "Breakfast with the Sheep" on June 8th at 9 a.m. Worried about the protection of the four-legged weed vacuums or for the little boys and girls frolicking in the park?

Big in Japan (and elsewhere): 29 American cultural entities that found greater popularity overseas  · Inventory 1. Jerry Lewis in FranceJerry Lewis used to be one of the biggest stars in America, until America got tired of him, stopped going to his movies, and only let him appear in public once a year to host a telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. In fact, Lewis’ appeal to American audiences soured to the point where his popularity in France has, for decades now, been used as a club used to assault French taste: If a country could love that guy who did the silly voices and the pratfalls, how can it be trusted to be right about anything? It’s a bit more complicated than that, though. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. [pagebreak] 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29.

Create a Glowing Globe Icon in Photoshop | Denis Designs | Free In this tutorial we are going to create a simple 3D glowing world globe icon. This can then be applied to a logo or one color image instead of a map. Step 1 In Photoshop lets open up an 800x800px document. Step 2 Now we are going to create the basic shape for our icon. Step 3 If your colors are set at the default black and white, your circle probably came out black. To change the color, double click on the black square on the circle layer. Step 4 Now we are going to go and grab our map image from stock.xchng and open it up in Photoshop. Make sure you are using the Pointer Tool (top left in the toolbar) and click on the map and drag it into our globe document. Step 5 This Image is going to be way too big for our circle so we are going to shrink it down using. Now, using Control+T to transform our map we are going to shrink it down. At this point if we drop the size way down we are going to lose it off somewhere hidden off the document. Step 6 We can bring the opacity back up to 100%. Step 7 Step 8

Stephen King’s Under the Dome Coming to CBS -- Vulture Stephen King's 2009 novel Under the Dome is finally coming to television, but not as originally planned: After spending more than a year in development at Showtime, the project is now headed to CBS, where it will launch as a thirteen-episode series next summer. Steven Spielberg's recently revived Amblin Television is still producing, with Lost veteran Brian K. Vaughan writing and Niels Arden Oplev — director of the original Swedish version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo — helming the first episode. Neal Baer (Law & Order: SVU) is producing as well, along with King. Showtime chief David Nevins was heavily involved with developing Dome, one of the first projects he acquired after taking over the network. Insiders say he ultimately decided the subject matter — small town in New England (duh!)

"The one-minute commercial featured black and white video footage of significant historical people of the past, including (in order) Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Richard Branson, John Lennon, R. Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Ted Turner, Maria Callas, Mahatma Gandhi, Amelia Earhart, Alfred Hitchcock, Martha Graham, Jim Henson (with Kermit the Frog), Frank Lloyd Wright and Pablo Picasso. The commercial ends with an image of a young girl, Shaan Sahota opening her closed eyes, as if to see the possibilities before her."

Text of the commercial (from On The Road):
Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward. by drone Oct 9
