20+ Tools to Create Your Own Infographics A picture is worth a thousand words – based on this, infographics would carry hundreds of thousands of words, yet if you let a reader choose between a full-length 1000-word article and an infographic that needs a few scroll-downs, they’d probably prefer absorbing information straight from the infographic. What’s not to like? Colored charts and illustrations deliver connections better than tables and figures and as users spend time looking back and forth the full infographic, they stay on the site longer. Plus, readers who like what they see are more likely to share visual guides more than articles. While not everyone can make infographics from scratch, there are tools available on the Web that will help you create your very own infographics.

Tutorials • Blog.SpoonGraphics How To Create Digital Particle Waves in Adobe Illustrator The blend tool in Adobe Illustrator is often used to create abstract wave graphics, but I’ve been experimenting with some additional adjustments and discovered some handy tricks to create sci-fi inspired digital particle waves. This kind of imagery perfectly complements hi-tech interface designs with colourful data visualisation effects, or it could be used to create abstract art in its own right. We’ll create the initial effect in Adobe Illustrator, where I’ll show you a few options for randomising the result, then switch over to Adobe Photoshop for some extra colour enhancements to really boost the vibrancy. How To Create an Editable Retro Text Style in Illustrator Many of the text effect tutorials I produce for Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop tend to require the text to be permanently set, which means if the wording needs changing, the effect would have to be created all over again from scratch.

Canon 7D with Canon 28mm f/1.8 USM. enlarge. August 2010 Canon 7D Review More Canon Reviews Introduction top This is a collection of my tips and tricks for how I use the Canon 7D. This is how I set the 7D for my kind of pictures. Set the LCD brightness top I set the LCD brightness to AUTO, and then to brighter, and it's always perfect. To do this, press: MENU > WRENCH •• > LCD Brightness > SET > AUTO (set with top dial) and MAX (set with rear dial) > SET. Image Settings top White Balance I usually shoot in Auto White Balance (AWB), but trim the colors to add 5 steps of amber (A5). To set white balance, use the Quick Control Screen > use rear thumb button to go to the AWB or other WB icon > SET > turn rear dial. The 7D makes sunset colors, and things lit by sunset light, stay very yellow. Often AWB will make indoor scenes look way too orange. Tweaks Too orange!

Harnessing the Power of the EOS 7D's video system The EOS 7D gives you complete exposure control (with choices from fully automatic to fully manual) in Movie Mode, as well as excellent low-light/high ISO performance, making it easier to capture beautiful videos… The Canon EOS 7D is not the first digital SLR to incorporate video recording capability, but it’s arguably a very complete camera for HD video recording. Starting with its CMOS imaging sensor — far larger than the sensors in most high-end professional video cameras, even though it’s not a full-frame sensor — and progressing to its range of features, this camera takes high-quality video recording capability in an SLR and moves it to a new level. This article will serve two purposes: to explain the powerful new EOS Movie features found in the EOS 7D, and to give insight into their use in real-world situations. New EOS Movie features in the EOS 7D: 30 fps or 24 fps? Traditional movies, shot on actual film, are shot at true 24 fps. Exposure control for EOS Movies: Summary:

Playing with Displace Filter in Photoshop I have been playing a lot with the Displace filter in Photoshop and I still get impressed with how powerful it is. Even though I have written some tutorials using it, I decided to try to recreate a different effect that I saw in one of the images submitted for the Daily Inspiration. It was a brick wall deformed like it was made of cloth. So in this tutorial, or a quick-tips I will show you how to create a curtain made of bricks or how to deform a brick wall as it was a curtain. Step 1 Open Photoshop and create a new document. Step 2 Let's import another image, now of a girl opening the curtains. Step 3 With the Lasso Tool (L) or the Pen Tool (P) select the empty white. Step 5 Now select the hands/arms of the girl and the curtains. Step 6 Move the brick wall layer so it will be in front of the girl layer. Step 7 Go to Layer>Layer Mask>Hide Selection. Step 8 Duplicate the girl layer and delete the girl using the mask of the bricks wall for reference. Step 9 Step 10 Step 11 Step 12 Step 13 Step 14

ALTFoto Photoshop Tutorial #2 - How I use Photoshop (Simple Guidelines) - DethHolly - Blog I like to lighten black, and take away a touch of cyan and yellow because it gives it a charcoal look. I darken the neutrals to better blend in with the lighter black, and +100 black the white. I like it dark. Another filter I use often is Gradient Map. (New Adjustment Layer>Gradient Map) My favorite one to use is the one I have high lighted. I have the settings on my layer toolbar like this. (Gradient Map is the best way to add a touch of green, red or blue to the whole image, while Selective Color only does it for a certain color. I changed the gradient map filter drop down to hard light instead of soft light and lowered the opacity to 55, then gave it a bright green map. I like the outcome except for one thing. Make a new layer (OVER the filters) on your layer toolbar. And click on your foreground color (or background) on your toolbar. Change the color to #990000(red) Then grab your brush tool (8 buttons down on your toolbar.) (Or press "B") Remember our coloring book days? *Useful Tips*
