[6:00 AM] New Training Video For Photoshop's Channels & Masking Features by Staff Interactive Digital Intelligence Group has announced part 2 of "Photoshop Inside & Out learning series, Channels and Masking." Much as its name implies, this is a training video for Photoshop that teaches users how to work with the channels and masking features in Photoshop. Interactive Digital Intelligence Group (IDIG) today announced the release of a new video in its Photoshop Inside & Out learning series, Channels and Masking [Part Two]. Channels are at the heart of most advanced image processing tasks in Photoshop, and Photoshop Master David Biedny has spent years learning how to make them yield their secrets. The tape continues the discussion of the incredible power of Photoshop's channel processing and image modes, including details of the issues involved with making complex selections, creating and editing alpha channels, and more. Practical examples of using channel information for deriving masks are explored in-depth, and detailed techniques for enhancing alpha channels (such as interactive choking and spreading) are demonstrated. All tapes are available in both NTSC (North American standard television) and PAL (European) formats, are approximately two hours in length, and are closed captioned. "Photoshop Inside & Out learning series, Channels and Masking [Part Two]" is priced at US$59.95 and can be ordered directly from the company's web site. Photoshop Inside & Out
