Quick action – save selection for the web
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 4:03
Quick post, this time no Flash but a Photoshop action that saves me a lot of time. :) First of all, I don't use slides in Photoshop, but often I just make a selection, copy/paste that in a new window and then press ctrl-alt-shift-s to 'save for the web'. I am doing this a lot of times when slicing objects. Since a while now I use an action for that. I hope this will help you too work faster.

Inspired by some artworks by Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco I saw just recently I decided to develop a tool for doing some kind of circle slice rotation with your images. The result is »Circlorator« and it’s basically just a Pixelbender filter and some UI elements and that’s it. Give it a try and generate your [...]
