In this week's episode of Quicktips I answer one of the most commonly asked questions that I receive from viewersâ "How do I copy a specific color from a website?" The answer is very simple and I'll show you how to do it quickly and easily using Photoshop!

One of the questions I see most often in my inbox is "are there any keyboard shortcuts for adjustment layers?" The short answer to this is no, but in this week's episode of Quicktips, I will show you how you can fix this problem.

In this week's episode of Quicktips we take a look at how to create a comic book effect on your digital photographs. This is a very quick and easy technique that creates a very cool effect in the end. Many people have emailed me saying I am being too CS3 specific on this podcast, so this week I show you how to achieve this effect using CS3 and non-CS3 versions of Photoshop. the best part is, all of the techniques are completely non-destructive!

In this episode of Quicktips we take a look at how to spice up your landscape photography using a very unusual and artistic technique. This is a really cool effect that will really help you take those photos that are just "ok" and turn them into a nice work of art.

Cross Processing has been a popular photographic technique for many years and with the innovation of digital tools the look of cross processed photos has become even more popular. There are many plug-ins and tools out there that will help you achieve an effect such as this, but all of those tools require more time and money than I am willing to spend. Luckily when I was poking around in the curves dialogue box I actually found a preset that does a very nice job of "cross processing" a photograph. Add this as an adjustment layer and you've got yourself a kick-butt technique, and most importantly a non-destructive effect!

Every week I receive a ton of email asking about different Photoshop techniques. One of the most requested techniques is how to change the color of an object (usually a shirt or car, etc.) and in this episode that question is answered. We are going to use the Select Color Range command in Photoshop to achieve this color change and when we're done, you'll be amazed at just how easy it really is.

This week we'll be heading back into Photoshop CS3 in order to achieve a very cool look on our digital photos. The look we get with this technique is very unique and leaves a lot of room for customization. There are several techniques out there that are similar to this one, but I believe this to be the superior method because all of the effects we've done to this photograph are completely non-destructive and customizable!

After last week's episode I had several viewers write in asking how I achieved the effect on the photos that were used in that episode. My apologies for not covering that last week, but for those of you who were wonderingâ Here you go! This is a great technique for giving your photos a very unique look, and the best part is that it's non-destructive and done completely using Adobe's Camera Raw.

In this episode of Quicktips we take a look at how you can quickly and easily copy and paste Camera Raw settings without ever having to leave the Adobe Bridge. This is a great little time-saver and it should help you shave some precious minutes off your next project. Tune in Next week to learn how this look was achieved on these photos using nothing but Adobe Camera Raw.

In this episode of Quicktips we take a break from actual image processing and focus more on furthering our education about the Creative Suite products. In case you didn't know Adobe has built in a virtual learning center to Adobe Bridge CS3 called "Bridge Home." Bridge Home is a great internal web application that gives you info and learning resources for all of the Creative Suite applications. Take some time, browse around, and I am sure you'll find something useful in this cool new feature!
