Ok, the coach has said to pass it to the backs and they will chip and chase. For those who don't know what that means, stop a Kiwi in the street and ask. Or an Aussie. Maybe a Brit or the odd South African … although they do tend to get their forwards to drive it up the middle and kick the pill between the sticks.
Sorry, I digress. Coach wants me back on the field, keep it short and get over the line.
Come on, Ref, blow the whistle and let's get started!
6. Alignment tools
OK, I'm cheating a bit here – this isn't a button but a complete tool kit. But get these working for you and life becomes easy. Here's a video to get you going.
7. Duplicate button
How often have you got a message saying Aperture A is similar to but doesn't match aperture B? Which causes the other error message everyone loves, that A and B don't align! One way to minimize this is to use Duplicate. Select the aperture on your layout that you want to duplicate, and, in the tools window, select Add, or simply type CMMD-D (Apple) or CTRL-D (Windows). Hey presto, two identical apertures and a lot less problems.
8. Open In Editor
This one appears in several locations. Why? Because it's so good it's worth repeating. With your default editing program set up in Preferences, select the image you want to lay a bit of Photoshop love on, and hit Open In Editor. Works for the exported page layouts too. (Open In Editor makes Photojunction your Photoshop Control Centre – that's got a nice ring to it!)
8a. (It's my post, I can do that)
My favorite Open In Editor option is to open the cropped image. This isolates the actual image area that's going to appear in the book. Great for actions like vignettes.
9. Copy and Paste
This is under the Effects section in the Tools window image tab. You can copy and paste an effect such as a border without having to enter the details over and over for each image. Just copy once and paste away to your heart's content.
10. The Send Order button
You've done your bit, used all your favorite buttons, drop downs and short cuts, and it's time to kick the ball to Queensberry (they're a safe pair of hands!)
Those are some of our favourites.
What are yours? You never know, your favourite might be one the rest of the team don't know about. While we're at it, what new buttons would you like to see?
Cheers
Pete
PS Sorry if you don't get my rugby jokes. I don't blame you, but we don't follow the NFL, you know? Hmm… NFL stands for Not Football League, doesn't it?
PPS And I'm still not convinced that soccer is football either.
