Shiny foil wrappers and chocolate bunnies....


Easter weekend provides us with plenty of time to do a variety of things, weather it be spending time with the family, chilling out & indulging in 10 pounds of chocolate, working, visiting some sites or running round the garden looking for shiny foil wrappers.  It certainly is nice to have a couple of extra days where you can relax without feeling guilty!  With an abundance of things to do I thought I would leave you with an assortment of events, ideas and tips and tricks.....

Working? Your CS3 tip......
Use the liquify on a large brush & a softness of around 16 to gently tuck in arms and chins.  Use the smaller brush to smooth down the areas.
Use the history brush on 'screen' to lighten images and 'multiply' to darken images.  A lot more effective than the dodge or burn tool and far more controllable.
Rather than turning your images black and white using the black and white option, just desaturate.  The tones are far more vibrant and all those colour changes and curves, levels etc can be done first to maintain control.

Entertainment or going out?  Some things to do.....
