Photoshop CS Wacom Intuos 3 tablet Snaps Pro X vid capture This video is an experiment in &#8220;mini-tutorials&#8221; to share some of my digital techniques with those who have been requesting them. I&#8217;ve been trying to find a way to make something like this available without hindering an already tight chaotic daily schedule. I threw this together quite fast, so there might be some quirks in it. If it works out, and people find this to be helpful I will try to do more. You&#8217;ll notice that there is a music track on this vid&#8230; It is a quick recording of my older brother doodling out some tunes on his acoustic guitar&#8230; Which leads me to my next point&#8211; (and this might sound a little grumpy).. &#8230;I am slowly working on formulas for creating longer tutorial dvd&#8217;s of art technique for which I will eventually make available on my website&#8230; Someday&#8230; And in doing this, I am trying to find a good style of music/sound to accompany these vids&#8230; This is why there is sound on this vid, when I usually don&#8217;t feature ANY. I am experimenting with different things, seeing how it fits. The next vid may go back to not having any sound at all. But in all honesty, one of my little pet peeves is people who comment on my channel about the the lack of music on my vids, and how it makes them BORING&#8230; To me, that&#8217;s like going to a concert to see/hear a musician play, and complaining about what kind of shirt he is wearing. If the lack of music/sound on these vids bores you, then the answer is simple. These <b>&#8230;</b></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most popular tools is the smudge tool that allows you to quickly and easily erase wrinkles, pimples, scars, zits. etc. Photoshop has found the fountain of youth and the people in your photos will look years younger. You can also remove the shine from oily faces, improve skin tone, and remove additional weight, turning everyone into super models.  <br/><br/>One of the most common problems with photos is the phenomenon known as &#8220;red eye&#8221; and regardless of how advanced your camera is or how great your skill as a photographer it is difficult to avoid this problem. Red eye is caused by light reflecting back from the pupil of the subjects eye once the flash is reflected. Even though you can find cameras that have advanced flash settings that claims to conquer the red eye occurrence, there is really no 100 percent guarantee to remove it. Photoshop has a red eye tool built in, so with a click of the mouse you can easily and quickly rid yourself of one of the most common reasons photos are discarded. In fact, you can even remove the red eyes even those of your pet car or dog.  <br/><br/>There are a variety of other tools that allow you to clean up your photos, including fixing lighting problems. The brightness and contrast tool, color enhancing tools, and sharpening and blurring tool make the process of editing photos quick and easy. Shadows can often cover your subjects faces, again ruining your photos. Photoshop will help you brighten up the photos simply by using the sliders on the brightness and contrast tool. Also, it can bring out the vibrant colors of a particular photo. Shaking hands can create blurred images however with a few clicks using the sharpening tools you can easily straighten items out and give you amazing results.  <br/><br/>Another, often unavoidable, flaw in photos is the appearance of strangers or other objects in the background that distract the viewer from focusing on the subject. Sometimes you might even find that a stranger has actually posed for the photo but don\&#8217;t realize it until its too late and you can\&#8217;t retake the picture. Using Photoshop, you can crop elements out of the picture. Regardless of whether it\&#8217;s a stray dog, an airplane going across the sky, or a complete stranger ruining the great moment, you can easily cut them out of the picture and fix the portion where you edited out the element as if nothing was there before.  <br/><br/>Feeling creative? Using Adobe Photoshop you can give in to your artistic desires. Change colored photos to black and white or make them look as if they were taken 60 years ago by applying a sepia effect. Turn a photo into a water color or pencil sketch. All that is takes is a good imagination.  <br/><br/>Take your skills to the next level and swap out your background. Always wanted to be in Paris? Paste a photo of yourself onto a layer that has an image of the Eiffel Tower on it.  <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graphic design is being the promotional key in every spare of business and individual life. Business organizations seek graphic tools to have publicity by dint of bill board, catalogs, magazines, web pages, store directories, banners, flyers, posters, ads, galleries logo and a lot. Individuals hunt such service to meet different specious motive; for example one can easily get bulk photographs printed using graphic design using Photoshop in a very cost effective manner instead of going to a studio with negative film. Different plug-ins, filters, gradients and other options in graphic design makes any object alive and beautiful. Clipping path, Color Mask/Multiple Clipping Path and masking are the most common and popular techniques used by the graphic professionals. Pen tool, Magic wand tool, Lasso tool re used initially to erase a part from the image background to compromise those tasks. Experts generally use the Pen tool to expertise themselves with more accuracy and credibility to the customers to place an image in a new background. What is clipping path? Simply clip means to cut off any particle from an item. Path cuts out an image. Clipping path simply means erasing selected outlined points from the background. As for example a tailor cuts- off outlined part of a cloth with a scissor. The object becomes moveable to any other inspired background while clipped. Procedure: After running adobe Photoshop, you will open an image from the File menu. Then you will click on the pen tool in the tool box and see the nib icon on the top toolbar below the menu. Than you will increase the zoom by pressing ctrl add +. Then it will be easy to clip. Pressing Alt you will break the curve in an image. After completion of the path you will make selection. Than copying the selected image you will paste it your inspired background. Benefits of Pen tool in Clipping Path: Pen tool will help to give a wonderful background in lieu of damaged, old and scratched one in an image to promote your further intentions. It will provide superior, perfect and alive image as well as quality service of yours. The manual pen tool will ensure the selection of the area without changing or modifying a single pixel in an image. After clipping path by it you will get a bitmap image within a vector path which will be saved as EPS format. EPS format is a file that contains both the vector and bitmap data in the same image. So, this image can be used not only in Photoshop directly but also in Quark Press, Adobe PageMaker, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia FreeHand and CorelDraw as a vector object for farther design. It is user friendly for the PDF also. Image Masking: Masking is created to make an adjustment and attachment of a new layer with the background layer to hide the unwanted pixel with the black and white color exhibition in it. Procedure of masking in adobe Photoshop: After copying a parted object from a picture by a lasso tool or pen tool you will paste it in the back ground layer in the Photoshop. Than selecting the image on the layer palate, you will click on the add layer mask in the layer palate. Than you will click on the gradient tool in the tool bar and constantly will see whether the gradient is black and white color in the option bar. If the gradient remains with multicolor on the option bar than, you will double click on the gradient with the mouse in the option bar and apply black and white color. You can also make it changing foreground and background color in the tool bar. Now clicking on gradient toolbar you will drag on the image from the right side. Thus masking will be effective. Color Mask/Multiple Clipping Path: Color Mask will Give your image a fresh new look by applying Photoshop path to multiple objects in a photograph. It will add color and texture to the same image to give totally different look. <br/><br/>For more information about image manipulation &#8211; http://www.photoshopclippingpath.us <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just about any type of company or business can use direct mail advertising sent through regular postal services or the mailing services of mail houses with various types of fulfillment services like presort services. Ask anyone in Miami FL and they most probably receive all kinds of direct mail advertising in the form of catalog mailing, sales letters, brochures, postcards and coupons, among others. These business mailings are either sent separately or together, or even inserted in newspapers, magazines or in monthly bills. They come from big and small companies that are marketing products or services. The sheer volume of direct mail advertising sent by companies as bulk mail is proof of its effectiveness as a marketing tool. There are several techniques of direct mail advertising you can apply to your business in Miami FL.Direct Mail Advertising Co-ops in Miami FLThere are cooperative direct mail advertising companies in Miami FL that allow several different companies targeting the same ZIP code to pool their efforts in combined business mailings in order to cut costs. Up to around 40 materials from various companies are bundled together in one package or envelope for every address, whether residential or commercial. The downside is that aside from identifying the ZIP code you are targeting, you cannot specify particular addresses. The bundled direct mail advertising is sent as a blanket mailing throughout that ZIP code in Miami FL.You will also not be able to choose the exact schedule of the mailing. The cooperative direct mail advertising companies in Miami FL have their respective mailing schedules for the year and you will have to coincide your campaigns with these.Direct Mail Advertising Inserts in Miami FLAnother way for your company to cut costs is to negotiate with other companies that will be willing to allow you to put your material as inserts in their business mailings for a low fee or for free. Local newspapers usually allow this, especially for Sunday issues. Local chambers of commerce also often allow such inserts in their monthly mailings sent to member businesses. Your own company surely has its own business mailings, too, perhaps in the form of mailed invoices. You can insert your advertising and marketing materials geared toward existing clients this way. You can inform them of new product lines and reward their loyalty with discount coupons.The bulk of your costs in doing inserts will be in the production of your materials. You can also cut costs in this area by sharing the material with a complementary business. A pet supply store and a veterinary clinic can, for example, benefit from being featured together in the same ad.The disadvantage in inserts is, again, having less control over the particular addresses to which they will be sent. Like cooperative mailing, inserts will be sent widely within a targeted locality.Mail Houses in Miami FLMail houses can provide more customized services for your direct mail advertising campaign in Miami FL, sending your materials to specific residential or commercial addresses you provide at certain dates you specify. Such customized service costs more than cooperative mailing and you will have to weigh the added cost against the added benefits. Mail houses can also provide additional services in designing and printing the materials to be used in your direct mail advertising campaign in Miami FL, again at a separate additional cost.Analyze which of these techniques of direct mail advertising are applicable to your company’s products or services for your target market in Miami FL. They are fairly simple to do and have been proven to be cost effective. You may perhaps try out each of them and, if successful, even use all of them in a well planned campaign. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting your direct mail letters opened and read can be a challenging thing to do. If you&#8217;ve never really put much thought into getting your letters opened, then maybe you should. In this article, we will take a look at some tips that you can use to get your direct mail letters opened so that you can have a good conversion rate for your campaign. <br/><br/>I know I said that getting your letters opened was hard but another thing that you have to keep in mind is getting them delivered. Believe it or not, the mail man throws out alot of the mail that they perceive as being junk mail. So you should do whatever it takes to make your mail seem like relevant mail. <br/><br/>One easy way to do this is to use a real live stamp on your envelope. A live stamp shows that you took the time to put it on there personally and it conveys a message that it is personal. When you put a label on your envelopes, it screams bulk to both the mailman and the intended recipient. And when the mailman&#8217;s sack gets heavy, what mail do you think he will throw out first? That&#8217;s right, the bulk mail. <br/><br/>You should never mail your letters out via bulk rate. Bulk rate will end up getting your letters sent into the dumpster. And this can be from the mailman or even your prospect. <br/><br/>To get the best kind of return from your direct mail, use a live stamp as I mentioned above. A live stamp will cost a little bit more but it is virtually guaranteed to get your message to your intended recipient. When you intended prospects get your piece of mail, he is sorting it out over a dumpster. This is how you have to portray your reader with your envelope. <br/><br/>He is sorting out his mail and is looking for only the ones that he seems relevant. If he receives an envelope with a live stamp on it, then more than likely he will open it and read it. This is profound implications because this one factor alone can increase your response rates of your direct mail campaign. <br/><br/>Another thing that you can do to improve your chances of success is to use a plain envelope. Don&#8217;t use an envelope that has a window on it. This kind of confuses your prospect because he has no idea what the message inside is all about. So he will more than likely open your mail out of curiosity. And isn&#8217;t that what you want &#8211; to have your letters opened? <br/><br/>Another thing that you can do is hand address your prospects name in blue ink. This takes the personalization effort to another level. It conveys the message that it is personal and relevant, and that they should open it now. A prospect will stop what they&#8217;re doing just to open an envelope like this &#8211; this is why it&#8217;s so effective. <br/><br/>If you want to have the most success with your direct mail campaigns, then you will follow the tips listed in this article. <br/><br/>Good luck with your direct mail campaign and getting the success that you desire. <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With careful use of flash, you can make your photo looks natural as though no flash had been used, instate it will enhance the photo further reducing contrast and yet looking very natural. <br/><br/>It has been a dream of all photographers to look for the balance in lighting whenever they photograph a subject and most of the time the quality of available light isn’t always perfect. I will share my experience in making use of flash wisely I am able to enhance my photo rather than by just using the available ambient light. <br/><br/>Before we get started let me clarify a few things with regards to my flash photography techniques that I will be sharing with you. <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>Ambient Light plus Flash <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>I use flash most of the time but using flash does not mean you will spoil the ambient light thus making the photo looking unnatural. Why just use available light alone if your photograph turns out to be horrible. I will show you by understanding some essential techniques, mixing ambient light with flash you can make a better image. <br/><br/>By using the flash I will be able to highlight the shadow areas and avoid shadows under the subject’s eyebrows thus making it a better photo than it would have been without flash. But this does not mean that the image will turn up flat. Make sure you get your reading right. <br/><br/>Let’s try two examples: <br/><br/>1. A wedding couple on a beach and under a tent as the sun is going down:- <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>Flash was turn off. I took the reading of the ambient light and took a test shoot. Satisfied with the overall exposure and then on my flash light and took the photograph below with my flash light firring direct and dial up the my flash up to +1.7 EV. See the photographt below for comparison. <br/><br/>2. Portrait of a couple against a wall <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>  <br/><br/>- Notice with a fill flash I manage to eliminate shadows under the couple eyebrows without overexposing the wall and the couples’ clothing’s. <br/><br/>Photograph 2 &#8211; Shoot using flash <br/><br/>The above two examples clearly tells you by just adding flash with the correct exposure set by reading the ambient light together with the right amount of flash value to be fired you will have a perfect and balance natural looking image. Who says by using flash it will look unnatural and spoil the ambient light? <br/><br/>I will be following up with an article entitle Flash Photography Techniques – Bouncing the Flash next to share my photography experience with you. By bouncing the flash you are able to soften the light and reduce or eliminating flash shadow. <br/><br/>For more photography techniques and tips visit my photography blog: Langkawi Photographer Blog  <br/><br/>To view my photography portfolio visit: AFFENDY.COM <br/><br/></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Search Engine Optimization is a process which provides improved, preferential positioning in major search engines and directories, including Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Many companies feel that to get onto page one is next to impossible and that search engine optimization is a mystery. Search Engine Optimization is something that everyone talks about but few people really understand. Search engine optimization is just a matter of understanding what search engines look for when they visit your site. Organic or Natural Search Engine OptimizationOrganic or natural search engine optimization is the process of a comprehensive analysis of keywords and phrases and the implementation of ethical programming techniques for optimal natural (non-sponsored) placement in search engine results. The option of adWords is very good to a certain point and in general the Search Engine Optimization is the tool that gives the ROI for a long time for each website.The world wide web is a highly competitive market. Companies vie for the attention of billions of internet users in the search for better revenue. A lynch pin to the internet marketing war is the search engine.Search engines are internet venues where billions of people congregate to search for information. The most prominent search engine giants are Google and Yahoo. The kind of traffic these dot-com companies receive per hour is phenomenal. So naturally, companies would gravitate towards placing their links and sites in an attempt to garner more visits to their web sites.In order to maximize ranking and placement, companies have used tools such as search engine optimization or SEO. Search engine optimization is the method or process of improving a web site’s ranking in a search engine listing. Legitimate search engine optimization practices focus on the improvement of a page’s ranking in the search engine list by improving site content, usability and using legitimate methos of promotion through web phenomena such as viral marketing.Search engines all use complex algorithms in keeping their relevancy in the web and to keep illegal and abusive search engine optimization methods from prospering. However, “black hat” SEO users will always be around so it is expected that search engine giant such as Google and Yahoo will continue to make more complex algorithms to filter the garbage out.Organic searches are searches conducted by web users in a search engine that is free from solicitations. A study from Jupiter Media stated that 5 out of 6 commercial online purchases came from organic searches versus paid online ads. This has made SEO much more in demand in creating revenue for companies as SEO is not a paid ad but a method of intrinsically improving content. Here are a few tips on improving content for a much more improved result in organic searches:1. Expertise. Follow your strengths. Sites you set up must be on subject you consider yourself an expert on. People can smell an amateur a mile away.2. Plan the site. A good layout for the site can improve usability. This in turn will not unnecessarily aggravate the browser.3. Research. Check out the competition and see what they have set up. See what works and what does not. If possible try to communicate with users in forums and get feedback on what should or can be improved further.4. Decide on important keywords. Decide on the most important keywords to use for your sight. Include these keywords in the metatags, copy page, page title, and file names. 5. The Search Engine is your friend. Make friends with your search engine and don’t give it a hard time. Being nice and friendly to it will make its job easier to serve your site up to your target audience. 6. Focus. Focus on the topic at hand and nothing else. The rule is one topic per page.7. Join the directories. Directories are repositories of knowledge done by human hands while search engine are huge databases collected by mostly machine methods. The relevancy of your page when joining the right directory may shoot through the roof. Of course, make sure you know what you are talking about.8. Start a linking campaign. A most effective SEO method. This is a must to do. Ask your allies, strategic partners, friends and acquaintances to place your site’s URL link on their sites. With a short description this can draw traffic from other sites and increase exposure. Google especially ranks the importance of its sites by the number of sites linked to it. 9. Repetition is the key to victory. Keep repeating the above tips, supporting and increasing what works and killing what does not as fast as possible until the desired result is achieved.In the world of search engine optimization, content matters a lot. If a site has amateur or worse falsified information, fewer and fewer browsers will want to visit it. They will even spread bad news faster than good news so expect a garbage site to be ignored even in a week’s time.A company mostly relies on its official web site to build a reliable customer base, to interact and get feedback from customers, and to use the site for advertising purposes.With search engine optimization, some techniques are employed so that a web site will be listed on top of the list of results when a user types in a keyword by going to Google, Yahoo, MSN, or other search engines.Emerging on top of a search list would lead more business your way that is why search engine optimization or SEO tactics are employed.Some companies employ the services of establishments or individuals who deal with search engine optimization.This would involve the development of a more informative and user-friendly web site. It may also include pay-per-click or adwords services, such as the one offered by Google.Another thing that can yield positive results at a lower cost, as compared to an adword campaign, is optimizing a web site for organic search.This would mainly require keyword density which would result to more traffic going to your web site.In effect, you will have an added clientele and this should lead more business your way.If you would like to have a hands-on experience with search engine optimization and you would not like to get a third-party SEO service provider, there are some techniques which are easy to learn so that you can do it yourself. Take a look at the following:1. Take a lot of time with developing your web site&#8217;s content.For most web sites, content is the key. When writing the content of your web pages, insert vital keywords which relate to the products and services that your company offers.Make it brief and concise, yet informative.You might see that Internet users do not actually read a web site&#8217;s content word-for-word.They just skim through the text and concentrate on the articles that they need and the data which they find interesting. A 600-word article may be too boring or too long for a user to read.Keep your facts up-to-date so that users will visit your web site more often. Do not forget toinclude a lot of helpful links, articles and guides that users can forward to another user and add to your customer base.2. Make the overall design user friendly.In most cases, the rule the simpler, the better applies. Do not design your web site in an overly-complicated way that users will find it too &#8220;frightening&#8221; to browse through.Adapt the design to your target market. If your target audience is of a younger age, make sure that the colors and designs are funky, youthful and attention-grabbing.For a more mature audience, you can use subdued colors and have a more elegant theme and overall web site design.3. Vary the keyword for each individual web page.Think of every possible keywords or phrases that will apply to your products and services.Each user is different and may not necessarily use the keyword that you expect them to type in the search bar. Search engines offer tools which will guide you through finding the correct keywords for search engine optimization.4. Make sure that your hyper links are visible, accessible and informative.Providing users with hyperlinks or HTML links which are useful and easy to find is yet another way to optimize your web site.5. Learn how to lead traffic to your site.Seek the advise of experts on this field if you do not know how to lead traffic to your site. Develop a plan and learn how to use the necessary tools pull traffic your way.Gather all the statistical data that you can use to keep your web site on top of the search engines&#8217; list.Vary your web site&#8217;s contents and keywords to adapt to the current trend. If there is a particular word or phrase that you have not used when searching for keywords, use it instead to lead more traffic your way.Be flexible enough to change the web site&#8217;s contents and fulfill the ever-changing needs of the online users.All in all, you would have your work cut out for you if you want to employ do-it-yourself search engine optimization techniques. <br/><br/></p>
