SCRAPADELIC VIDEOCAST #4: Drop Shadows on Sheer Items

Mon, 08 May 2006 21:49:00 GMT

This week I show you two ways to apply a nice looking drop shadow to sheer elements. In this case I'm using a sheer bow but this technique works nicely on vellum or any other kind of see-through item.

NEXT WEEK: Using a Quick Mask to remove a background from a photograph.

Happy Scrapping!

Tue, 25 Apr 2006 18:40:00 GMT

Ever wonder how to extract an element when it's combined with other elements on one layer? In this episode, I'll show you how to separate an alphabet using the selection or "marquee" tools. I also show you the lasso tools (including the magnetic lasso tool) and some quick keyboard shortcuts to make working in Photoshop faster. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and don't forget to leave a comment! Thanks!

SCRAPADELIC VIDEOCAST #5: Quick Masks

Mon, 15 May 2006 22:05:00 GMT

So many of you have asked how to remove an image from its background, so, in this episode I'll show you how. It's as easy as painting! It's important to use the right tool for the right job and in this and the next two episodes, I'll explain which method to use.

The basic techniques I'm showing you in these first podcasts will become important when we learn how to put together a collage style layout and a graphic style layout in future episodes. Keep watching and learning!

Also, please note that I am in the process of moving my digital scrapbooking kits from Scrapbook-Elements to another store, and, as a result, some of the kits I'm using in these podcasts are not available. Please email me for more information.

SCRAPADELIC VIDEOCAST #7: The Pen Tool

Tue, 30 May 2006 04:13:00 GMT

This week I'll show you how to remove a background using the pen tool. Yes, it's the dreaded pen tool! This tool takes time to master but once you get it, you really GET it! And once you get used to it you'll find yourself using it a lot.

The pen tool is simply a tool to create a path. It operates on the premise of Bezier curves. I won't go into a long explanation of Bezier curves, I'll just show you how they work. I hope you get a better understanding of the pen tool with this tutorial. Like anything, it takes practice to achieve good results.

Note: This week's episode is longer than usual, therefore larger in file size. It may take a few minutes to load the video.

SCRAPADELIC VIDEOCAST #9: Type on a Path

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 04:00:00 GMT

In this week's episode, I'll show you how to create Type on a Path and also how to put text inside a box that was created using the pen tool.

It's great to have the ability to create Type on a Path in Photoshop although I do find the method a bit tricky sometimes. I have to admit that I use Adobe Illustrator for most of my typographic needs because it is much more intuitive and I get better control over how my type looks. I highly recommend it!
