The coolest graphic design tool
So a friend of mine -Jesse Adams- who is a designer/art director/-insert title- at Gulf Shore Magazine down in Florida, just sent me a link to the coolest upgrade in Photoshop CS5. As the owner of Andorra, I try not to overspend on money, but just the content aware function in the new CS5 will save us so much time that it should pay for itself. This video shows a couple things, one for just cleaning up the photo. -some not so difficult to handle (like removing trash or blemishes in a photo) then others were you deal with shadows which can be a pain. The part that impressed me the most is at the end where you can “add on” to photos. I can not tell you how many times that I have had to crop in on an image, manually add space to the edge of an image, or spend more time just looking for a new image because the one I liked would not fit in a space just because the photo was not tall or wide enough. Normally to quickly fix something like that you could spend up to 30 mins just adding on to the photo in separate layers which this does in seconds. It will help us focus on big picture for the projects and not as much time on the production side. Adobe has to be one of my fav businesses out there!
Lots of big things going on with Andorra Creative, but we will save those for another post.
