Business Description My main job is retouching hi-resolution scans (300 dpi) and building images with several scans for covers, posters, etc. I also use Adobe Illustrator for packaging and QuarkXPress for page layout.
Tips/Advice In Photoshop, when I have to remove a part of an image, instead ef the eraser, I use a brush on a layer mask because I can always restore a part of the image I have mistakenly masked. When the mask is perfect, and if I'm sure I won't need the masked parts for other use, I apply the mask (Layer ð Remove layer mask ð Apply), therefore reducing the file size.
