Re: Challenge 536: Make 2015 beautiful
Since the purpose of the Friday Challenge is to challenge us, I decided to try my hand at creating a 3D object. For some reason I couldn't use the Repoussé feature (I am using CS5 extended) on the text Steve provided so I had to create my own. I don't have Baskerville Bold so I used Franklin Gothic Heavy. For the record I don't actually like this type of jewelry. I like things that can be worn on more than one occasion.  _________________ I'm still learning. |

Name layers!! .... Oh dear me yes. I get very lazy about this. I have created some custom PS controls that virtually force me to behave myself in this respect. Useful ... but sad .....  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 536: Make 2015 beautiful
Thanks Sara. Yes David, Ive been lost in the sea of layers too many times so Im making a conscious effort to name them now. Although I have been using the colour coding for some time - 7 colours are not enough. Its interesting that most of the other Adobe applications have 15+ colours but not Photoshop. Maybe its something that has slipped by the wayside but a few more colours certainly wouldn’t go astray! Steve if you are ever having coffee with the Adobe people..just maybe mention it?  _________________ Dorothy: Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore |

Re: Challenge 536: Make 2015 beautiful
I used to use colours a lot. But they need discipline to maintain too ... and if I come back to an image after a long break I can't always remember what the colours meant .....
Meaningful names and, even more important, meaningful grouping seems the best approach for me. I'm still very lazy about naming adjustment layers but I'm getting there .... .... s - l - o - w - l - y ....

Of course if you really wanted to have fun you could change the parallax on the letter depth as they move from left to right. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

I've been fiddling again. I pity the poor Chinese factory worker who had to glue on all the rhinestones.  _________________ I'm still learning. |
