 | Have you ever been to one of those trendy Photoshop parties? You know the ones I mean where the guests sit around in the study, ensconced in big leather chairs, smoking smuggled Cuban cigars, and casually chatting about "calculating this and masking that…," and they keep referring to the time they were out on their yacht with Deke, Ben, and Jack. Don't you hate those parties? Me too. But nonetheless, I don't want to get caught at one of them and be the only goober there who didn't know that Shift-Delete is the undocumented shortcut for bringing up the Fill dialog. Imagine the shame. Then you'd have to pull that old, "Oh, I knew that, I thought you were referring to something in the Curves dialog that I heard at RIT," as they all slowly look away, rolling their eyes, glancing at each other with that "who's the spaz?" look on their faces. Do you want to be that person? Do you want to be that spaz? No? Then read this chapter, dammit. Memorize every word, every line, every keyboard shortcut. Then fire up a fat boy and head for the study. It's time to find a spaz to tease until he's in the fetal position. |
