dekePod: The Pilot Edition
Welcome to dekePod, my new video podcast devoted to computer graphics, digital imaging, and anything else that happens to spill out of my head. Sponsored by Deke Press in association with O’Reilly Media and iStockphoto, dekePod is fast-paced, laser-beam intense, and entertaining as hell. I credit the team at San Francisco-based Flying Moose Pictures, who use music, tight framing, and an ironic interplay of live action and images to make dekePod its hyperkinetic best. dekePod demands your attention and rewards you with that special buzz only knowledge can bring. It’s like a syringe of information to the visual cortex. Watch and learn, dude.

Photoshop Shortcuts & Modifiers
This full-length printable PDF chapter from my old Photoshop Bible includes the 36-page “Great-Grandmother of All Shortcut Tables.” Naturally, I credit inspiration for the title to Saddam Hussein, a man whose gift for hyperbole has continue to outlive the demise of his official public statuary.
“Total Nuggets” Layer Styles
In creating my video training series Total Training for Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 Unleashed, I designed a series of productivity-enhancing actions and layer styles known collectively as Total Nuggets. By way of demonstration, you can download the layer styles here for free.
The Infamous Treasure Hunt
Call yourself an expert user? Think you know everything about Photoshop? Well, here’s your chance to test yourself. Download this file, open it in Photoshop, and do what it says. (Yes, this file actually tells you to do things!) For the best effect, wait for a dark and stormy night and turn off all the lights. Warning: Not for the timid.
* Also worth nothing.
