New Refine Edge tutorial for Photoshop

Refine Edge buttonThe newest tutorial on the Refine Edge function for Photoshop CS3 is now available.

The refine edge function is the best way to get the best selection you want. Use it especially in conjunction with the magic wand and quick selection tools.

If you missed it, don’t forget to watch the other tutorials available here.

I went with a bit wider of a video format this time so that I didn’t have any wasted space when I post it on YouTube. Not sure if this is a great way to go, since the videos are hosted on here, but I didn’t want to make two different versions either. Let me know what you think. Are they too short, or do you prefer the widescreen format? If I happened to miss anything, let me know in the comments below.

Prisoner graphic short story cover teaser

Just a quick note to say that I do still exist. I have been crazy busy trying to finish up a big project, in the form of a graphic novel. Or comic book. or graphic short story? Regardless of what it is called, it is an illustrated version of a short story written by Dean Mehrkens. Here is a little teaser for it, as it is coming very very soon. It will be fully hosted here on the blog and on Dean’s site and will be available all together in a number of formats when it has ran its course here.

Also, I am still working on a how-to video for the textures in the previous blog post, so that is something else to look forward to.

And without further ado, the cover for the Prisoner graphic short story, coming very soon:

New Business Cards!

Chris Lane Photo Business Cards

I recently ordered these from Overnight Prints. They are the “Value” card, in other words, a digital print. They aren’t the highest quality certainly, but pretty decent for the price.

It wasn’t too big of a deal to do myself since I only ordered 50 cards this time around. Read the rest of this entry »
