Hello Internet!
Later this week I am heading off to the New York PDN Photo Expo. I would like to say that I am presenting, but by the time I saw the fill-out form, the deadline had already passed. But, I will be wandering around the floor. I guess my only real goal is to hand out some business cards.
A week ago I finally finished my Basic Video Course that I was working on forever. This week, I seemed to be almost lost for something to do in my free time. I usually jump right on creating or editing video. But now that my 6-8 month project is done, I found myself floundering around, looking for things to do. Not that I didn’t have plenty. I was ignoring the business for months. It’s just that I had a hard time separating quality time, from busy work.
Paranoia of Failure
Every now and then, I get an audio podcast published. I thought if I stopped making them, no one would notice. But, some people do listen, and actually pay attention to my rants on various topics. A few months ago, I was presented with a huge challenge. The first half of the audio goes back to then. The second half is about how I handled the challenges more recently.

Difference Between Image Resizing and Resampling in Photoshop
I always struggle trying to explain this dialog box. Because it’s half a calculator, and half a pixel creator, it makes things confusing.

Photoshop CC Essential Training
While this was setup as an amazingly awkward download experience, I know the author. So I am sure the content is worth your extra effort. Unless you have no idea what RAR is. Then you should not even bother.

The New And Improved Image Size Dialog Box In Photoshop CC
Another tutorial on the Image Size Dialog. I’ve included it because this is a different take on the topic.

The Ultimate Guide to Adjustment Layers – Gradient Map
Gradient Maps are interesting. Because they can be fun to play with, even though they are not particularly useful to a straight retoucher. This is more for the artistic of our group.
