in CS5 (not up to 6 yet...) there is a nice technique in the flyout menu for "actions". click the little arrows to pop out the menu and select LAB to add the set to the actions panel... then click the Toner Technique - hit "play"...

works pretty good for me!

if the two files are the same size and resolution you can choose "duplicate layer" and choose the other file (both files need to be open) as the target. it should place the layer in the exact same position as the source file.

another trick is to change the colour mode of the placed layer to "difference" and move it around until it is mostly (if no changes, then completely) BLACK. this means all the pixels are aligned. you can then switch to whatever colour mode you want. (remember to "upper" layer needs to be set to Difference or you won't see the effect)

hope this helps

i liked playing around with Muse as well and hope it becomes all the things GoLive never was!!!

It seems to be built for designers and those who want great functionality without spending four weeks on the code side of it.

i've always thought of iWeb as Apple's version of Frontpage - great for quick-and-dirty sites but much of it looked templated...

mind you, you can use a cloud to store all your bits-and-pieces of a site while your building it but i can't think of any that will host it.

i wish i could ive you an intelligent response but i have extended mainly for video and not 3D..

anybody have input???

hi dee!!!

i'd LOVE to be able to use "touch" on my tablet, but it's not yet compatable :(

i goin to try putting Ice Cream on and see if it makes it compatable then!!

Now if only i can get the "bean counters" at corporate to approve the upgrade when it's released i'll be one happy camper!!

looking forward to the release!

i'm assuming you'll be using PS to do the editing correct? if so, what version?

in CS5 there are a few tools that may be useful...the "content aware fill" might do the trick for you.  it's a new tool that matches lighting, tone, and noise so it looks like the deleted content never existed.

can you post a partial of an image that i can test my theory on?

scott

do you mean you want to create a "web" photo gallery in PS?

if so, in previous version of PS (prior to CS4) it was under FILE --> AUTOMATE --> WEB PHOTO GALLERY

Now in CS5, you need to do it in Bridge... it's under OUTPUT TO WEB.

not sure if this is what you're asking about or not. if i'm way-off-base let me know.

scott

dreamer is right, you can't get two version behind PS or you'll pay dearly.  i think they'll have some window of migration if you just got CS5 before the release of 6. that might be the route to go.

it seems nowadays you have to upgrade whether you want (need) to or not, or face starting over (cost-wise)

it is pretty amusing how different we view beauty through the ages.

i think some were to thin though.

for me, it's the surfaces that painter has to offer (as dreamer pointed our) that steps it up from photoshop. i know you can scan different paper surfaces and PS even has canvas textures but the way painter interacts with the chosen surface while you are working fantastic.

scott

looks sweet.

agreed with most of the comments posted, so i didn't want to just add an "i agree" to the thread. 

to me (as a traditional painter), looking down to the desk to pick a tool is no dif then looking down to my paint palette to load colour onto my brush.

please keep us up-to-date

scott

i've just done things the same way i do with brushes...

click on the "pop-out" (triangle) menu (icon) and choose New Material

if you want to know where they end up (so you can LOAD them when you want), they are in the PRESET --> MATERIALS folder with the extension .p3m

hope this is what you were asking...
