some real reading as in books not digital

Recently I was asked what is on my reading list for those wanting to improve their photography skills.....

Just about anything Scott Kelby writes is worth it !
in addition here is a new book I just ordered......

Christopher Grey's Studio Lighting Techniques for Photography:
Tricks of the Trade for Professional Digital Photographers

Content aware Fill in CS5

Adobe Photoshop CS5 - Removing Power lines etc

Phone and power lines are a bit of a pain.
Content-Aware Spot Healing in CS5 has fixed this.

Here's how.......

Using the Pen tool (P), add a path to the line; choose the Spot Healing Brush (J) with Content-Aware selected in the Options Bar; change the brush size to two times the width of the wire; and in the Paths panel (Window>Paths), select the path and click the Stroke Path with Brush icon


cheers!
