Seeking ideas for any new video or PDF tutorials that may be of interest to the people reading our posts. Is there anything you guys want to learn? It can be on any of the subjects listed on our website’s homepage (www.aym4training.com), and I’m certainly open to any other ideas you may have. Please keep in mind the time limit on YouTube is 15 minutes, so please try to choose something that can be explained in a short video – or two.
Any ideas, people???
From PhotoshopEssentials.com, a clear (if not lengthy) tutorial on using the insanely powerful pen tool.

Don’t fear the Pen Tool!!!
If you find it too complicated, let me know, and I’ll make a little video tutorial or two to ease it up a bit.
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, while so many of you are out drinking some green beer, here’s a tutorial for how you can make this stuff at home using Photoshop (and the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer).

Okay – time for a feedback request – who wants to see what tutorials? Something new? A refresher on something you’ve learned?
Anything you’ve wanted to know, but didn’t know how to ask? Any programs you need information on?
Post requests on our BLOG, or on our Facebook page. Heck, no reason not to Tweet!
I’m often asked how to turn a color photograph into a Black & White image. Some people use the Black & White setting on their digital camera (and some use Tri-X film – often using manual filters!). The problem with traditional Black and White settings is that the resulting images lack dynamics, but with Photoshop, we can control the dynamics and contrast in an image, with a lot of power and ease.
In this Tutorial, you’ll learn about the power of the Black and White Adjustment Layer, and how do perform some cool special effects using this very simple and powerful tool.
So, how much do you really know about the various methods to select text, and copy or move it to other locations in your computer? In Part II of a two part Tutorial, I teach about what you can do with the data you select – Cut it, Copy it, Paste it, or Drag & Drop it.
Many of my very experienced students have found that they’ve been going about making their changes the long way. The goal of Part I (Selecting) and Part II (Copy/Paste/Drag & Drop) of this tutorial is to teach students the most efficient methods of selecting text (either a lot or a little), and getting that text to another location in a document, or into another program entirely!
This tutorial focuses on Microsoft Word 2010, but the techniques used here are system-wide. They can be used for text programs, image programs, getting things off the web, spreadsheets… once you know these techniques, Just experiment.
Let me know if there’s anything that was missed, and if you DID learn anything new. I look forward to your comments.
