Crop and Straighten Command in Photoshop

Wednesday, April 08, 2009 Filed in: Adobe

When scanning images, it’s often possible to fit more than one image on the scanner bed. Scanning multiple images at once can save input time when loading images into Photoshop. Fortunately, the Crop And Straighten Photos command picks up and keeps the efficiency going.

Place multiple photos on your scanner. For best results, you need to keep 1/8 inch between the images in your scan. If the Crop And Straighten Photos command does not succeed (which is rare), you should process the individual images using the Crop tool.
If you’re working in a multilayered image, select the layer that contains the images. If you only want some of the images, draw a selection border around one or more images.
Choose File > Automate > Crop And Straighten Photos.

Each image should be cropped, straightened, and moved into its own document window.

A Good Deal on Time Machine

Monday, April 06, 2009 Filed in: Apple

I just got this email from Apple about a special on Time Machine.

“Save $30 on a 500GB Time Capsule. Time Capsule works with Time Machine in Leopard to back up your Mac computers wirelessly and automatically. And as a MobileMe member, you can access files on your Time Capsule drive over the Internet, wherever you go.”

The code might be a one-time use.... so try it (first come first served).

I already have one and these work great.
