|  | Automating Your Actions
By ron dyar on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 :: 8 Views ::  | | So now that you've made an action (see here for the creation of an action) or discovered one that is really useful, you'll undoubtedly want to run it on a whole folder of images. Batch processing files can be done a few different ways. You can use the Image Processor or Dr. Brown's 1-2-3 Process which have been covered in previous articles, or you ... |

|  | Build a Simple Photoshop Action
By ron dyar on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 :: 9 Views :: | | Do you have a cool formula for black and white conversions, or maybe sepia? The real question is, are you sick of going through the steps to make your favorite black and whites or sepias every time you open a new image? How about making it into an action that will perform all those steps with the push of a button?
Making an action is easier tha... |

|  | A little Thing Called Anti-Aliasing
By ron dyar on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 :: 9 Views :: | | Have you ever received a print from a lab which contained text and found that your image looked great but the text looked jagged and terrible? You were pretty sure the resolution was correct (since the image looked fine), and on screen everything looked OK. So what happened to the text? Chances are you neglected to apply a function known as anti-al... |

|  | Patch Tool Perfection!
By ron dyar on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 :: 9 Views :: | | Perhaps one of the most useful upgrades from Photoshop 6.5 to 7 (for those of you who actually remember the good ol' days of PS 6) was the Patch tool. At least from a retouching standpoint. No longer would retouched faces look like something out of a Stephen King novel. What the patch tool improved on was the ability to blend the textures and shadi... |

|  | Apple's Preview - It's Not Just For Image Viewing Anymore
By Jeff St John on Monday, April 07, 2008 :: 8 Views :: | No sooner had I lamented the fact that Apple didn't have very many, or any free image viewing/editing apps out there, I discovered that they did indeed have a great one available, and chances are, you probably have it already and don't even know it yet! That's right, if you made the jump to Apple's newest operating system, OS 10.5.2, otherwise known as Leopard, than you have access to a free application that comes bundled with the new OS. The app I'm referring to is Preview. Yep, you heard correctly, Preview. |

|  | Assign Profile vs. Convert To Profile
By Jeff St John on Thursday, April 03, 2008 :: 291 Views ::  | One question that is bound to come up from time to time is when to use "assign profile" and when to use "convert to profile". First off, let's just answer this question outright. Use Assign Profile on an untagged image (meaning, there's no profile embedded in the image file). You basically have to... |

|  | Keyboard Shortcut Madness!
By ePhotoPros Admin on Friday, February 08, 2008 :: 196 Views ::  | In my travels it's been my experience that people are creatures of habit, even if it's a bad habit. There is one pesky habit that most people are guilty of and that I am going to squash like that spider that's been living in your bathtub for the last 6 months and that you refuse to get rid of.

|  | Progressive Jpeg - Don't do it!
By ePhotoPros Admin on Friday, February 08, 2008 :: 143 Views :: | If you've ever saved an image as a JPEG, and being a photographer in the digital age chances are you're familiar with JPEGs, you've no doubt seen the option to save your JPEG as Progressive. Resist the temptation. |
