    The Photoshop Patch Tool is a tool that I just discovered last week taking one of Nik's online courses and the instructor shared this with us all.

    The Clone Tool is what most of us use a lot in Photoshop, and in most cases it works well, but if you have a couple of areas or more to clone it can take up a bit of time to same the image right?

    Now the Patch Tool

    I had the Drobo fan not pushing out enough air and need to find a fan that has the CFM flow rate of equal or greater air flow.

  5. Want to save money?

    Have you been thinking about purchasing a plug-in for Photoshop, Lightroom etc... and want to save some money on the software.

    Well, I'm a fan of Nik Software and use their plugins in my work process. Now I purchased most of their software, and went through the manuals and played around a bit and figured it all out, but yesterday I got an email of Free Webinars that they were having Thursday Night on Viveza2 and the new release of Color Efex Pro4. So I booked both of these for the ...
