Down the Rabit Hole
4 June 2009



Once upon a time, Alice went down the rabbit-hole to meet her anthropomorphic rabbit. No need any more for the sinking experience. We now can have an anthropomorphic 3D animated character on our TV screen to interact with.

Could this be our answer to best friends? Could we open our hearts to this?

If Facebook forces us to tell them about our lives via interaction of our fingers with the keyboard, the Project Natal for Xbox is ready to catch a bigger fish as they would recognise our body language and our emotions.

So how much we can trust this new anthropomorphic friend?

My Lonely Pear

Please visit http://www.paerconsultancy.com to see how my pear is cleverly placed with nice related colours to create this amazing website.

Just a note that I did not design the site. Only the pear graphic is done by me.

Photoshop Eraser Tool
7 March 2009



When we think of erasing, what comes to mind is removing the unwanted pixels from our work, but Photoshop works in an alternative way.

When you set the Photoshop Eraser tool to work in the Brush Mode, the eraser actually adds pixels using a brush set to your background colour.

Doing this creates an illusion that pixels are being removed.

To use this feature:

  • Select Erase Tool
  • Set Background colour to be the same as the background colour of the canvas
  • In brush mode, select your brush tip and size

You can also select Pencil mode or Block mode

Play with the eraser tool and enjoy your experience!

Spring
1 Mar 2009



Spring is approaching and nothing is more refreshing than seeing flowers coming from their winter journey to say hello to sky and sunshine.

So I fancied to do something flowery in Photoshop today. The idea is to select your favourite flower image of a painting or photo and create a pattern that goes with it.

  • Open an image of a photo in Photoshop
  • Double click on it so it a normal layer
  • Create a new blank layer by going to Layer > New > Layer ... and called it Pattern Layer
  • Fill it with a colour. I used dark blue.
  • Draw a picture of a flower or use a pattern or brush to repeat a shape. I used a yellow flower pattern
  • Move the Patten Layer behind your photo
  • Select your Photo Layer and right click to select and open Blending Options
  • Play with Blend Mode ( I used Hue) until you get a desired result
