Tips by Joe Robbins
Hello
fellow ASMPers and welcome to the Digital Corner. In my little space here I
will try each time to bring up a few observations, share some tips & techniques
or whatever seems appropriate to discuss along the lines of what falls
into the digital realm.
I've been
teaching Photoshop for the past ten years or so and shooting digital
for the past three plus, so I have picked up a lot of stuff to munch
on and share about digital concerns. Knowing there are
many levels of understanding about the subject, I hope to be of benefit
in some way, to as many as possible.
Here is a tip that you might like that comes from Planet Photoshop.com
Reaching the Free Transform Handles
If you want to use free transform on a layer, but image extends beyond
the edges of your document window (and this happens frequently if you’re
collaging different photos together), you won't be able to reach the
free transform handles to scale your image down to size. Here's the
hidden keyboard shortcut that lets you reach each and every handle,
no matter how far the image extends outside your current canvas area.
Just press Command-T (PC: Control-T) to bring up free transform, then
press Command-0 (PC: Control-0), and your window will zoom exactly
the right size to enable you to reach all the handles. Cool!
OK, one last thing, for anyone who is just starting out with Photoshop.
I have
created a Photoshop Workshop class, held at my studio, on various
dates and times. It is a 16-hour, hands-on course. Go
to my web site: http://learnphotoshop.net/ for all the details and
to sign up.
Until next time...
