You probably know that you can close all windows at once by holding the Alt (Option) key while clicking the red close window button in the top left corner. Or simply pressing Apple-Alt-W (Cmd-Option-W).

When you drag a file from one volume to another by default the system performs a copy operation. You can tell if you're copying because a green button with a plus sign will appear next to the ghost image of the file icon. If you only intend to move the file and not copy, you can simply press and hold the Apple (Cmd) key while performing the drag operation.

We all use and enjoy the application switcher key combo and Exposé individually. But, did you know that you can combine their features?

First press F9 to activate Exposé. Next, press Apple-Tab (Command-Tab) to cycle between applications. Every time you press Tab, one application's all windows will open up for you to choose from.

I was interested by a question in the forums about the difference between PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign. I have been thinking about this too more recently, especially Illustrator and PhotoShop. Adobe is pushing people more and more into buying the full Creative Suite and it is a much smarter way to work now that these products are so integrated.

Two weeks ago I downloaded a trial version of OnOne's Genuine Fractals PrintPro 4.1 plugin for Photoshop and tried it on a photo I needed to enlarge from 1024px x 768px to a cool 850mm x 637.5mm x 300dpi (that's 10039px x 7529px!!! or a 980% resample.)

Colorcasts can be very annoying and there maybe a thousand ways to get rid of them. Some or better then others I'm just gone give you two tips

Tip 1

Use the Average filter.

First the basics. Google Adsense is a system that allows website owners to display ads on their sites. Publishers are not payed by the number of ads displayed, neither by the size of the ads. They are not even payed by how many times the ads are displayed as it is done in traditional advertising, like print or TV. The publishers are payed by the number of clicks on the ads.

On the other side of the equasion, we have Google Adwords, that allows business owners to buy ads to be displayed on Google Adsense participant's sites. Advertisers need to specify keywords that match they advertisements. Google will match these keywords found on publisher sites and display relevant ads.

This sounds and works great. It's a great business for publishers to get a steady revenue, great way for businesses to publicize their websites to a targeted audience. And, it's a million dollar business for Google.
