September 2006 1) Photoshop Elements 5 Review 2) Snowflake Brush Set 3) Quick Tip 4) eBook Exclusive! 5) Site Search Tool 6) Double Document View ----------------------------------------------------- Photoshop Elements 5 Review ----------------------------------------------------- I ended my last newsletter with the news that Adobe had announced the release of Photoshop Elements 5. I then spent the next few hours writing a review to pull together the facts about this new version in an objective way, without all the sales hype on the official website. Why didn't I send out the newsletter AFTER that, with a link to the review in it? Who knows! I wasn't really thinking. Anyway, if you're at all interested in Photoshop Elements, you should take a look at my review of it, and check out the video link too! Read my review here: http://www.pse-5.com ----------------------------------------------------- Snowflake Brush Set ----------------------------------------------------- The second free brush set release this month is massive, featuring over 50 brushes! It's called the snowflake brush set, but it also provides snow, ice and icicle brushes. Take a look here: http://www.easyelements.com/photoshop-snowflake-brush-set.html ----------------------------------------------------- Quick Tip ----------------------------------------------------- When using the brush tool, or other tools that function like it, the square and curly bracket keys provide a useful shortcut. Pressing the [ and ] keys will decrease and increase the size of the brush respectively. Holding the Shift key and pressing those keys, uses the curly brackets, { and }. These will soften and harden the brush edge respectively. For more explanation, and to see some of the other tools this applies to, read the full article here: http://www.easyelements.com/size-and-hardness.html ----------------------------------------------------- eBook Exclusive! ----------------------------------------------------- This one is IMPORTANT. In the very near future, I am looking to undertake an eBook project. I have already been doing some planning, and the content is taking shape. For anyone who doesn't know, an eBook is just like a normal book, but it is stored in a pdf file and can be sent over the internet. Here's the great part: This eBook will be completely free to YOU! It will be available only to newsletter subscribers, and will cost nothing at all. Stay tuned for more news on this project as it develops. ----------------------------------------------------- Site Search Tool ----------------------------------------------------- With the help of Google technology, I have recently added a site search tool. This should help you to find information on my site more easily, and you can also use it to search the rest of the web! Take a look here: http://www.easyelements.com/site-search.html ----------------------------------------------------- Double Document View ----------------------------------------------------- Photoshop Elements has a very useful feature that lets you view a document in two separate windows simultaneously. Take a look at how to do this, and some of the handy applications, right here: http://www.easyelements.com/double-document-view.html ----------------------------------------------------- That's it for this issue! I hope YOU found YOUR newsletter useful! Please do contact me with any requests for the October edition of Elements Express, as all these requests go into the making of my next newsletter. Any other comments or requests for this newsletter? Just let me know via my contact page here: http://www.easyelements.com/contact.html Until next time! Kind Regards, Robert Redwood. |
