[Adobe Photoshop] How-ToFor more information, and to enter either or...: Sometimes selections need to be complex, adding and subtracting from initial selections. Ifthis is second nature to you, to the point where you’ve forgotten the keyboard shortcuts you use because they’reprogrammed into your cerebellum just how to make your heart pump, don’t read this tutorial from PhotoshopInDepth.

 [Pepper of the Earth - The Home Office Record Mostly Daily Gazette] General Musings: I did finish it later and have read it many times – about a dozen – rarely to the end. This may be the first instance of my long-standing bad habit of not finishing books: I often read until I’m done with the story, and then carry on as far as momentum will go, which isn’t necessarily all the way to the last page. The silliest of these was a novel by, um, it might have been Richard Ford but I don’t think that’s right: I got within four pages of the end, and completely lost interest. Since I was reading a hardcover I didn’t want to lug it around and finish it on the train and then have nothing to read, so I put it down.

 [Musings from Mars] Tell Me One Thing You Can Do With a Mac that I Can't Do With Windows!: Mind you, these are all near the top of my list of reasons why the Mac OS is superior to Windows, but they've never shown much power for persuasion in a discussion with a Windows user. (For an excellent overview of these particular features and a clear explanation of their benefits, check out this fine article from MacCompanion, by Mary Stamper.)

 [Words For My Enjoyment] I Can Still Eat Three Packets of Crackers In Less Than A Minute Without a Glass of Water: No matter what I say. I could upload a picture of me rubbing my stomach after I've already ingested the crackers and include a picture of the wrappers and a picture of a glass filled with water, and no one would believe me. I could film myself doing it and upload the video and people would still cry "foul" because I had used Photoshop or some kind of Adobe Effects program to alter the reality of the video clip. I could invite all my readers over to the Staples Center here in Los Angeles and perform such an act on stage and still, in the end, they'd liken it to magic.

 [PhotoshopNews: Photoshop News and Information] First Time With Photoshop - Scott Kelby: I had been struggling along, picking up a technique here or there, but there were few books on Photoshop at the time, and the Internet wasn’t really up and running yet, so I was pretty much on my own. The more I used Photoshop, the more I could start to see what could be done with it, but I just couldn’t figure out how to get there on my own. It wasn’t long before I had a long list of things I really needed to learn, so I finally hired a local Photoshop consultant by the name of Manuel Obordo. He was one of the two Photoshop experts in my hometown, and he had worked at a digital prepress service bureau that was doing four-color separations using Photoshop before I even knew what Photoshop was.

 [Photoshopsupport.com] The Photoshop Blog - MAY 10 2005 | PhotoshopSupport.com: There are all sorts of keyboard shortcuts for filling selections, entire layers, and stuff like that, but if you look under the Edit menu, next to the Fill command, there doesn't appear to be a shortcut for bringing up the Fill dialog itself. Luckily, there's an undocumented keyboard shortcut that will do the trick-it's Shift-Delete (PC: Shift-Backspace). This is a good one to pull on your Photoshop trivia question, because few people know it exists.
