The latest from PixelPerfect: Episode 82 - Photoshop Reflections

I thought it would be easy to find a tutorial on how to turn a head shot into a black velvet style painting. Anybody seen such a thing? Would it be possible to request such a tutorial on pixel perfect?

That was the worst episode I have ever seen.

Not the actual tips etc - that was great and always is.

What I did NOT like was the overall 'rushed' feel of the episode - that and the sync issues - the whole episode was out of sync.

Also, what was with the green at the side and the muting mic?

Pick up your game Rev3.

Fail.

Here ya go. hope this is ok if not I'm sure they can remove it or let me know.*link*

Could you do a show based on the benefits of using Layer Comps and the proper use of them? or at least work it into another project? THANKS!

At the top of the Pixel Perfect page is a bunch of random stuff, as if someone posted a false thread and it broke the layout.

Hope it gets fixed, looks very unesthetic.

Odd...As soon as I posted, it was fixed. Ok great:) This post is unneeded I guess.

Thanks for the replies.

My system specs are

Intel Core2 T7400 (2.16GHz)
2GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS (256MB)


I was reluctant to mention specifics outside of the error scenario and software involved because I do not feel as if the problem is caused by poor system performance or management. I often work with several files among multiple concurrently running Adobe products, always with countless browser windows and tabs in the background, and I only have problems when projects get huge.

I am able to recreate this 'locked Hand Tool cursor' problem again and again with minimum system usage in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari -- all up-to-date as of this posting. I was also able to recreate the problem on two other computers with system specs similar to those I have disclosed. I was unable to recreate the problem when viewing other (non-Rev3) Flash-based embedded videos fullscreen.

(Select the Hand Tool in Photoshop. Enter Rev3 fullscreen from browser. Exit. Hand Tool cursor locked up in Photohop.)

Certainly methods exist to avoid this problem, but that won't fix the error, and although it does not appear to be a critical malfunction (only HORRIBLY ANNOYING), my concern is that it may be indicative of a larger problem with the Rev3 video player or *GASP* Photoshop....


@Shinigami052: glad to hear you haven't been affected

"I am giving them a chance but we don't even get a response from them on the forums saying they're going to take into consideration our suggestions so how are we supposed to think and react?

By the way I would advise you against ever telling someone to calm down over a post because it's really hard to tell what their tone of voice is and what their motivation is. Some people get really pissed off when someone tells them to calm down. Just FYI.

I look forward to them fixing the issues we've addressed. Or maybe at the very least acknowledging that they're read them or even took them into consideration."

I see your point and yes, acknowledgement would be nice to see even if they don't take our sugesstions, I'm 100% with you on that one.

I said calm down because your posts seem very angry and accusatory towards the production team who are giving us this content. Crit is good and is needed for these kinds of things to improve and I think you make very valid points but at the same time we, as users, should try and be polite as we deliver our critisism. Saying they did a 'crap job' and then thanking them for 'ruining the episode' is not polite at all. You just seemed very sarcastic and negative... that's all. I'm sorry if you got angry at my post, I got upset at the way you were talking about the prod staff so I wanted to voice my feelings.

They used to do that, don't know what they stopped...

nice work Krak!
