Photoshop Select Layer with Keyboard shortcut in a Group
By Brian | December 13, 2011
Getting what you want when you click your mouse!
If your working within a PSD file and a design that has many elements, you will most likely use Groups to keep layers organized.
Further, if your maximizing your time efficienctly you are also using the Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl+G to create those groups.
Since you are using keyboard shortcuts, selecting elements using cntl + click, makes your life easier and your workflow smoother and quicker.
But if you have created a group and you are trying to use cntrl + click to select the layer you maybe only selecting the group folder and NOT the element inside the group.
What to do to fix this?
____________________
Answer:
- Select the Move Tool.
- Look up at the options bar.
- Next to where it says (or says) Auto Select you may choose Layer or Group.
Now for using the Cntrl + Click make sure the Auto Select is NOT checked.
Note this is for PC. Mac may be similar.

For all you Flickr lovers
By Brian | December 3, 2011
I recently found a need to use Flickr. Sure I’ve signed up with an account and thought i would upload lots of mobile pics. Well that never happened..but I had a client that had a nice portfolio in Flickr that I wanted to pull down and place in their custom gallery.
Unlike Photobucket, Flickr does not allow you to download complete file sets. I found it hard to even download all of them at once. What I wanted was all of them in the sets they are in.
After testing a few free programs and others that promised to do more for $$$..trials that would only let me download 3 sets then paid to do more. Nope, not gonna do that. Looking a litte deeper I found
Free and does download all or sets and even saves the set names.
This was exactely what I was looking for, thank you SunkenCity for a cool free program.
This wouldn’t be needed if Flickr would just add some much needed features.
Just start with Photobucket if you are looking at either of these two online photo storage services.

Bye Bye Google Wave
By Brian | November 24, 2011
I never really found much use for Wave and now it’s leaving…
Dear Wavers,
More than a year ago, we announced that Google Wave would no longer be developed as a separate product. At the time, we committed to maintaining the site at least through to the end of 2010. Today, we are sharing the specific dates for ending this maintenance period and shutting down Wave. As of January 31, 2012, all waves will be read-only, and the Wave service will be turned off on April 30, 2012. You will be able to continue exporting individual waves using the existing PDF export feature until the Google Wave service is turned off. We encourage you to export any important data before April 30, 2012.
If you would like to continue using Wave, there are a number of open source projects, including Apache Wave. There is also an open source project called Walkaround that includes an experimental feature that lets you import all your Waves from Google. This feature will also work until the Wave service is turned off on April 30, 2012.
For more details, please see our help center.
Yours sincerely,
The Wave Team
