The pace of creativity has changed.
People are being asked to create more in many mediums
and faster than before.
Photoshop CC, the world's leader in digital imaging,
brings new innovations, workflow enhancements, and Creative Cloud integration
to users so that they can create with everything they've got
wherever they are.
So what I'm going to do is walk you through a workflow,
where we're going to not only use Photoshop CC,
but we also have Lightroom,
Premiere Pro, Muse,
and Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition,
and we're going to tie them together into a story
that Creative Cloud members and photographers
can relate to, so let's get started.
What I'd like to do now is
I'd like to start off in Lightroom.
Now Lightroom is great, because this is where I manage all of my photos,
and in many cases,
I can make non-destructive adjustments to those photos
right in Lightroom.
So what I'd like to do is take this image,
head over to the Develop module,
and then I'm going to simply scroll down to the Lens Corrections.
So what I'd like to do with this photo is not only straighten it,
but it also needs a perspective adjustment.
So in Lens Corrections,
we've traditionally adjust lens distortions;
for example, from a fisheye lense,
maybe making it so it's not so curved on the edges.
But now in Lightroom 5,
we've got this great new Upright feature,
so with Upright--it's currently off,
and if I just needed to make the photo level,
well, I can just click Level, and that will level it,
but it's not correcting the perspective.
So if I go vertical,
I can get both level and vertical at the same time,
and I can, of course, go full.
And that not only corrected and made the photo straight,
but it also corrected the perspective issues.
And again, this is all non-destructive.
I can, at any time, bring this photo back up
and just simply go to off.
Now of course, I love auto,
so whenever you get the chance, just try auto first.
If that doesn't work, then you can try the other options.
So I'm going to go ahead and go Full
and just simply head back.
We can head back to the Library module,
or we can just continue to adjust photos here.
The next thing I'd like to do
is I'm going to bring up a photo
that I want to make an adjustment for.
And this guy got a tattoo,
and he probably regrets it at this point,
so we're going to go ahead and remove that tattoo.
Now in the traditional sense of removing parts of an image
that are non-circular,
I'd have to go into Photoshop and use the Healing brush
and things like that.
Photoshop's a great tool, but I want to minimize my trips to Photoshop whenever I can.
So we've got not only the Spot Removal tool,
but we can now use the Spot Removal tool in a new way.
So I can adjust the size,
but for the first time, I can do a non-circular,
basically custom shape adjustment.
And of course I can pick this up,
move it around, continue to work with that tool,
move this around,
and get just the adjustment I need to remove that tattoo;
again, non-destructively.
All right, so now that we've got that,
let's take a look at 1 more adjustment here.
I've got this image of a church,
and in this case,
when I shot this,
it was the window light really coming in almost from the ceiling
down into the church,
and of course, we can see it lighting the banister.
We can see it lighting the floor and part of the wall.
But what I'd like to do is add more light to this.
So new in Lightroom 5 is a brand new Radial filter,
and this Radial filter allows me
to make all kinds of adjustments
in a radial or circular fashion,
so I can adjust the exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, clarity,
so forth and so on.
Now you might be thinking, "Well, this sounds like a vignette,"
if you just do it in a circle.
And you're right, but a vignette
is only usually from the center,
and typically you can only do one.
So for example, if I make this adjustment,
it will make the adjustment,
and it will start to make the adjustment to everything outside the circle,
but I can invert the mask.
And so now I'm making the adjustment
to everything inside the oval,
which I can continue to adjust,
and more importantly, I can pump up the exposure.
And I can see that there was writing on that wall
that otherwise would have been lost,
and that I had completely forgotten about.
Now again, a vignette can do this kind of work,
but what I don't get is the ability to do more than 1.
So I can go ahead and put another one down
and again, I can invert the mask for that one.
And once again,
I can adjust the exposure,
and I can pick it up and move it around.
It's like my own little flashlight
I can walk around the room with
and see what else I might see in the room.
So there you go.
And these can be tilted, they can be resized,
turned on, turned off, deleted, added more,
because this is all non-destructive.
So we're going to head back to the Library module,
and there's 1 more photo I need to adjust,
but in this case, I actually need to do this one in Photoshop.
If we look at this in Loop view,
we can actually see
that this particular photo in full screen--
which by the way, just hitting the letter F in Lightroom
gives me the brand new full screen capability,
and we can see that this photo is out of focus.
Now typically, I'd see a photo like this, and I'd delete it or mark it for reject.
But now with the new Photoshop CC,
we're going to go ahead and say we want to edit this photo,
and we're going to go into a new filter under the Sharpen menu
called Shake Reduction,
and what Shake Reduction allows me to do
is it will automatically analyze the photos.
So I didn't have to do anything,
and it's looking for camera movement, not motion in the photo,
but actually camera movement
that made this photo out of focus.
And so it found the blur region-- or it created a blur region
that will show me the direction of the camera shake
and then it will adjust for it.
So once again, before, a photo I wouldn't have used
to after, a photo I would absolutely use.
So when I click OK
and save that photo
and return back to Lightroom,
Lightroom has already made the adjustment
and there I am back in Lightroom with my photo.
And Photoshop and Lightroom are great,
but what I'd love to do is talk about a couple more Photoshop features.
So let's go in, and let's open up a photo here,
and we'll just pick--
we'll pick the same photo we used earlier of the church,
and we'll just open it up,
and now that we've got this photo open,
what I'd like to do is point out a couple of new things in Photoshop CC.
So the first thing is
I work between 2 computers--
actually 2 laptops.
I've got my work laptop and a home laptop
and whether it's your work machine or your home machine
or a Mac or PC,
typically if you have Photoshop in both from Creative Cloud,
you're going to want the same settings.
You're going to want all your preferences,
all of your actions, all of the things you've created
that make Photoshop what it is to you.
So now in Photoshop CC,
if I head to the Photoshop menu,
I can actually do sync settings.
I can sync my settings to Creative Cloud
and actually have those settings available in Creative Cloud
synced to my other machines that are signed in the Creative Cloud.
That way I get all of my Tool presets, actions,
preferences, gradients,
all the things I create manually
without me having to create them again and again and again on each machine.
When I add a new machine in--a new copy of Photoshop,
I just bring those settings right down.
One more thing is that
once I've got this image set up,
I can actually go in
and share it on Behance and get it feedback.
Now I opened this image up already,
and I forgot that this image was the original raw,
and I haven't done that Radial Filter.
Well new in Photoshop CC,
without me having to close the image just to open it back up again in Camera Raw,
I have the ability to go right to Camera Raw filter,
so basically treat this open image
and open it in Camera Raw as a filter.
And at that point, I can use the same Radial filter
and apply the same kinds of techniques in this photo.
Once I click OK, there it is.
If I want to get feedback on this photo from my Behance community,
I can just simply go up to the File menu,
Share on Behance,
log onto my Behance account,
and get immediate feedback from the community that follows my activity on Behance.
So great to have that tie-in
not only in Photoshop but also in Lightroom.
So we've taken care of the photos,
but now we want to continue to tell our story with video,
and there's no better video editing program on the planet
than Premiere Pro.
So as a Creative Cloud member, you get to download Premiere Pro
and use it.
You don't have to pay anything extra for it.
You just get to start using it the minute you join Creative Cloud.
So I'm a Creative Cloud member.
That means I've got Premiere Pro installed.
I'm going to go ahead and click on it
and start off with a brand new project.
And what I'd love to do is get my images
and my DSLR video into Premiere Pro.
So I'm going to go ahead and go out to a folder here
that I've got on the hard drive.
I've brought in the images and video from my memory card
and I'm just going to go ahead and--
let's take a look at the video first.
I have all the clips I want to use from the safari.
Just going to go ahead and drag those in.
So just simple drag and drop
to bring in those video clips.
Now as I scroll through
or just hover over the video clips,
I can actually see kind of a preview of which videos are which,
so I know which ones I want to start with or which ones I want to use.
So I know we were kind of heading on the safari,
and we've got different scenes here
that I can start with,
and I think I want to start with the elephant.
Now I've got the videos in,
but what I don't have is a timeline,
so I'm just going to go ahead and right click on the elephant video,
and I'm just going to say, "Give me a new sequence from clip,"
and that will basically just take the video,
and I didn't have to think about, what video settings
do I need to create with?
Which camera did this come from?
What resolution is it? Or any of those things.
It automatically detected that from the clip
and made a timeline that perfectly matches it.
So I can go ahead and scroll through the video right on the timeline,
make any adjustments I want,
play it in real time
without having to do any rendering.
Now of course, I've got the 1 clip in place.
I'd like to get some more.
So I'm just going to go ahead and simply select through
and grab more of these clips,
and I can just simply drag them all here
and do an insert to insert every clip that I just selected onto the timeline.
So I have the beginnings of my video.
I have to go ahead and make some adjustments.
So for example,
we don't need necessarily
to start off with the rear-view mirror of the truck in that shot.
So what I'd love to do is simply trim it.
Now we have various tools to do our edits.
I'm going to do a ripple edit and just go ahead and start trimming this down.
And now we'll go ahead and slide the timeline back down,
giving me that starting point.
Now I would continue this process,
but for the time and sake of this video,
you know I would just keep making my edits
until I've got each clip trimmed to what I need.
But what about the stills?
As a photographer, we probably shot some stills, too.
So let's go ahead,
and let's go back out to the Finder, where we've got the images in a folder,
and I'm just going to ahead and drag the whole folder in.
And now that I've got that folder,
I can double click on it,
and I can see the shots that I took with my DSLR,
and I can go ahead and now just simply arrange them
right in this bin to get them in the order that I want them in.
And the reason I'm doing this
is because not only do I get the benefit of being able to arrange them,
but now if I go back to my timeline,
I can go to the end or anywhere I need to insert these clips or these stills,
select them,
and just simply say Automate to Sequence;
basically take them in the selection order
and automatically apply default transitions between them.
So when I click OK,
my stills are there kind of like a slideshow
that fades in and out.
So if I go here and play it back,
we'll see the first image.
It'll fade to the next image
and to the next image
and to the next image.
So we've got our video--the makings of our video already started.
So I continue working in Premiere
until I get my video just right,
then I would do an export right from Premiere using the Adobe Media Encoder
that's included,
and I can get the video out in any format I need
for desktop, web, or mobile devices.
Now let's do some output.
We've got our photos edited.
We've got our video.
Now let's head over and--how about if we need to create a web site?
We've got this great new product for designers
called Adobe Muse.
And with Adobe Muse CC,
I can go and create a web site
without having to write any code.
So we've got the beginning of the site here.
We've got some pages that we can,
for example, double click on and preview.
I can preview this page right in Muse,
or I can even preview it
in my favorite browser.
So when I say Preview Page in Browser,
that will render out the HTML from everything I just laid out manually,
and I can go ahead and start to scroll through the site.
And even see the new parallax scrolling feature
in Adobe Muse CC.
All right.
So now that we've done that, we need to work with our images,
so let's go ahead and go back to the site,
double click on one of the pages
that we now want to put in a slideshow.
So to do this, we'll just go in,
grab a blank slideshow right from the Widget Library,
and from there,
we're prompted to make our setting changes,
so for example, I don't want any captions.
I don't really need a counter.
And what I'd love to do now is go grab my images.
So I'll just select the images
right from the folder here.
They can be JPEGs. They can even be PSDs.
That will grab them in the order that I select them
and put them right in my slideshow ready to go.
So if I preview this,
we can actually let the slideshow autoplay,
or we can navigate through it
just that easily.
So now I've edited photos,
made a video, started my web site,
shared my work in progress on Behance.
What could possibly be left?
And what's left is building an app for the iPad
using Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition.
So what I'm going to do now
is head over to Adobe InDesign,
and with Adobe InDesign,
we have the ability to layout iPad apps
using Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition.
And as a Creative Cloud member,
you get to create an unlimited number of iPad apps.
So I've got a page here open in InDesign
where I've got some images I'd love to turn into a slideshow.
We'll just simply select those images,
and we're going to align them on top of each other,
so we'll say align to the left, align to the top,
and now that they're all selected and on top of each other,
we'll simply turn that into an object state.
And the only other thing I have to do
is at this point using my Folio Overlay panel,
is set it to autoplay the slideshow
and let users swipe the images on their iPad
to swipe the between the images in the slideshow itself.
Now from that point
using the Folio Builder panel,
I'd create a folio
and simply go to Create App right in this panel
that walks me through the entire process
to go from an InDesign document
to an iPad app.
Now let's go ahead and take a look at that app on the iPad.
I've got my iPad Mini here.
We're just going to go ahead
and launch the app.
It's got its own little icon.
And from here,
I can swipe through the various sections,
and I can even interact with that slideshow.
And if you really want to take it up a notch,
we can even do panorama views.
As a photographer, this is great.
With dozens of new and reinvented features
including the most advanced sharpening tools available,
new Adobe Camera Raw 8,
powerful workflow enhancements for designers
and cloud-enabled features,
Photoshop CC continues to be the leader in digital imaging,
and as a Creative Cloud member,
you can now take advantage of not only Photoshop CC,
Lightroom 5,
but also the new tools that you may not have looked at before,
such as Premiere Pro,
Adobe Muse, and Behance integration
to really take it to the next level as a photographer,
and only available in Adobe Creative Cloud.

Success w/ Resume putting up Has anyone received replies to offer their resume in or other internet websites? Just wondering if it is worth the work. Posting resume reverses jobs When you apply directly forjob, you have fun the role regarding seller. Employers (buyers) are interested that way. While you post a resume, you cause anyone who contacts you play the position of seller. Employers aren't happy with that! They want Yourself to be the "seller". Often, you have an excess of relative in the situation. So, for that besides other reasons of our nature (tendency of an body at rest), very few employers will likely trouble themselves to look for you. I actually respectfully disagree Recruiters frequently have an easier period searching candidate files on specific issue strings than many people do wading by having a slew of resumes pertaining to applicants. Analogy: when you are shopping for shoes or boots, do you want to go to a store by means of great selection? Or are you looking salespeople coming for a door saying "How with regards to these shoes? " While you post your continue, a lot of times the recruiters who contact you should coach you and assist you to qualify for a interview. They get usually disintermediated the particular HR department, and get direct relationships considering the hiring managers. They can provide loads of organizational info to aid you to position yourself a lot better than if you're simply just responding cold towards the job listing. When you make application for a job, some entry-level man or woman in HR could just be seeking reasons that will exclude you. If you ever post your resume, try to use language like job descriptions that you're going after. Re-post or renew your resume or possibly profile data not less than weekly. Recruiters find most recent candidates much like we search for some recent jobs. You and all others! CareerKeysMan has a vested interest to make sure you steer people towards his attitude! On the other sorts of hand I've had fair luck along with it. I certainly acquired more interviews () when compared to my agent in Ajilon got everybody. What've you need to lose? My advice is don't just duplicate paste your busniness-like resume to choose from. Read through a number of see which versions catch your eye ball. They're witty, helpful not dull as dirt. I was complimented today to the "marketing" of my. Set yourself a part, be memorable. Naturally, we know individuals are just "different".

Jeff Gordon, Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation and Kick-It hosted a kickball game recently at Atlanta Motor Speedway to bring awareness to childhood cancer. This past June, Gordon challenged supporters and fans to hold as many kickball games as possible the month of September with the promise that he would match all funds raised from games played. "We need to further research to ultimately find a cure," Gordon said. "We hope through our Kick-It program we can raise enough funds to reach that goal."

An inguinal hernia will not go away without surgery. Most hernias in children are indirect (the abdominal tissue has bulged down the inguinal canal). These hernias need to be repaired, because they are likely to become incarcerated.
Prompt surgery is needed for younger children especially, because they may not complain about pain until there is a risk of the intestine becoming tightly trapped and its blood supply being cut off (strangulation).
Surgery to repair an inguinal hernia needs to be postponed in infants who have any of the following conditions:

Proposed smoking ban put out
The bill from Democrat Marc Levine of San Rafael was rejected Wednesday on a 5-2 vote.
AB746 would have created designated smoking areas outside the complexes. The area would have to be at least 20 feet from the building or 100 feet from a playground or pool.
Several California counties and cities prohibit smoking in multiunit residential buildings. The American Lung Association and other supporters say a statewide ban would protect residents from secondhand smoke drifting between units.
Stephen Pelz is the executive director of the Kern County Housing Authority. Nine months ago that organization banned smoking in all of it's units. Pelz said he was surprised the bill didn't pass, but knew there was opposition.
"There are a lot of people in the private sector that don't want the government to tell them what to do with their units," he said.
He said they put the ban in place for health, safety and financial reasons.
"If somebody's been smoking in there it costs a lot more to get it ready because of the damage to the paint," he said.
Opponents say the prohibition would be difficult to enforce.
A spokesman for Levine said the lawmaker will try to have the bill reconsidered after its defeat in the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee.
Pelz thought it's just a matter of time.
"It just makes sense," he said. "The idea that people have to smoke inside a room is really not something that's needed and for the safety of the tenants, and health of them it's really important."
