Blog World – Las Vegas, NV – 2007

BlogWorld
Las Vegas, NV
Sept 20-21, 2007

The very first conference for Bloggers!

This started by a group of event organizers that noticed that Bloggers like themselves did not have a forum to meet in person, ergo, BlogWorld 2007.

Photoshop World 2007

Three days of fun and informative Adobe Photoshop, digital imaging, and graphic design training with eight different tracks and more than 80 classes.

Some overall tips:

  • 50% gray = neutral which will not show up when blending options are applied
  • Always apply filters, blending options, etc. on duplicate layers
  • Use opacity settings to adjust the intensity of whatever adjustments applied
  • Use smart objects as templates
    • Can easily change the image and text & all smart objects will be updated with the new image and applied filter (only in CS3)
    • You can also turn video into a smart object and have filters applied (only in CS3)
