Cool Stuff for Friday!

Mastering Blend Modes on DVD
That’s right. My newest DVD is fresh off the press and available for order now. It is called mastering Blend Modes and this course is unique in that there has never been a course that specifically focused on the blend modes themselves. It doesn’t matter whether you are a pro or a beginner, you are bound to learn something that you can use right away. Learn the six most commonly used blend modes, retouching techniques, image correction, special effects and so much more. By the time you are done with this course, not only will you know what blend modes are but you will have a better understanding of how they work and when to use them.

Just Something Cool
Yes, I am a movie fanatic! Since it’s Friday I wanted to just share something really cool. The new theatrical trailer for Transformers 3 was released yesterday and I gotta say it looks pretty cool. I will not speculate on whether or not the story is any good but let’s face it, that’s not really the point. If the trailer is any indication, it’s going to be eye candy for anyone who loves big budget visual effects. Click here to see.
