How to use Clone Stamp to remove people and things from pictures using Adobe Photoshop CS5

In the last several months, I have starting creating video tutorials to help my friends, family and my students with various topics. Some of the videos are fairly complicated, and others are more simple and straightforward.

I have recently learned how to use Photoshop, so I have started creating videos on how to do simple tasks in Photoshop. The following video is one that I created to help my students (and friends learning how to use the program) and as a part of a video challenge on another blog.

I hope that you enjoy the video. If you have any suggestions for future videos for me to create or if you have suggestions for me to improve my tutorials, please leave a comment!

Teach Parents Tech

If you know a little more about tech than your friends and family, there's a good chance that you are their lifeline when they are in times of dire technological need!  I know that I have spent time on the phone, in my parents' study, at my coworkers' desks, and in crafting emails to answer common techie questions.  Some questions are very specific and need my personal response, but other questions are common to most computer users who are still learning the basics.

Google feels your pain, and has created a new site called Teach Parents Tech that allows you to send your parents (or anyone else) a "tech support care package."

You begin by addressing the letter to your loved one, choosing an intro then selecting the videos (max: 12) that you think your friend or family member will enjoy watching.  There are about 50 videos in all.

After you have chosen your videos and a clever closing, you can preview your email, and off it goes!

Most videos are 30 seconds to 1 minute in length and are very clear and simple to understand.  If you would rather not send an email through their site, you can click View All Videos, click on a video and find the direct link to that video on YouTube.  Then you can send your own email with a more personalized response.
