Quick Photoshop tips are very useful Veerle includes information about how to select a color that is outside of Photoshop’s window, which is something that I have wanted to do many times, but had not figured out. There are a couple of other interesting tips, plus a link to an article discussing the next version of Photoshop.

Layer Comps scripts in Photoshop CS explains how to use scripts to copy Layer Comps to a new file with all of the layers intact, turn Comps into a Web photo gallery with the ability to comment on each design or turn Layer Comps into a PDF. Yet another great tutorial from Veerle.

Linotype has released Zapfino Extra Pro:
> “when used in an OpenType-supporting application with all contextual features activated, draws on the rich library of glyphs included in the font to automatically generate numerous, changing alternatives that work together, creating a lively typographic impression. This impression can offer the same harmonious feeling as real calligraphy.”

This is an amazing font. Take a look at the different instances of the same letter within the example image. The variation provided by the different flourishes and letter types fools the eye into believing that this is actual calligraphy. This doesn’t look like a font.
