On last night's show I talked about how using the Cookie Cutter tool and Custom Shapes in Elements can produce fun photo frames. The default shapes aren't too exciting, but the 100s of extras just waiting to be loaded into Elements are really neat. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

Widget of the Week goes to TheDailyGrind.

Until next week, may the creative force be with you :)

On last night's show I talked about how to apply a super fast spotlight to a portrait, highlighting the subject of your image. It literally takes two steps! As a bonus, I also posted my top 11 (no 17!) favorite Photoshop and Elements keyboard shortcuts. Plus I'll show you a way of making the CS apps build a web page of *all* the keyboard shortcuts they contain. Hope you enjoy the tutorials!

Widget of the Week goes to The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition! I am *so* loving this widget.

Until next week, may the force be with you :)
