iTalk talk

You guys mentioned in passing about wondering when Griffin would be putting out an iTalk for the iPod video and whether they might miss the window of opportunity should DLO or Belkin beats 'em to the punch.

I found an ad for a similar product from XtremeMac.

The Graphic Reporter's Tip of the Week

On last night's show I talked about how to create an image with selective color. Using Photoshop or Elements (the steps are exactly the same) you can zap all color from an image and bring it back only in select areas. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

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

The Graphic Reporter's Tip of the Week

On last night's show I talked about the new Photoshop Elements 4.0 and how much fun it is to create collages with the Magic Extractor. In this example I took a picture from this past summer, and plopped in the family dog... that we don't have. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

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

The Graphic Reporter's Tip of the Week

On last night's show I talked about how to change the color of a metal object, using the example of a gorgeous turquoise Stingray which we turned purple. It's an easy technique that's extremely useful. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

Due to my busy week up here in Calgary with the iStockphoto.com guys, there is no Widget or Ware of the Week (sorry about that). There is, however, a detailed account of how I acquired a really cool travel brush from Delta Airlines. Follow my adventures to the great white north on my travel blog.

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

The Graphic Reporter's Tip of the Week

On last night's show I talked about how to colorize a grayscale photo. This is a fun effect to do and it allows you to paint color onto an image while retaining its original detail. This tutorial was created in Elements, though the steps are identical in Photoshop. As a bonus, I'll also show you a trick to recolorize the color you've just added, plus I've added a Quicktip on the home page giving you the magical keyboard combination to make Photoshop rebuild its own preferences file. Enjoy!

Widget of the Week goes to WeatherBug.

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

New Show!

Welcome to "Your Digital Life" brought to you by Griffin Technology!

This is a new site/show/podcast by the same people who do Your Mac Life but with a broader range of topics and subjects.

This show will be more focused on technology in general - what it is, how you can use it and how you can make it work for you as opposed to being a slave to it.

But, no worries - Your Mac Life is not going anywhere. That show is still our anchor and will be around for a very long time to come!

This new show will have the same "feel" as Your Mac Life - conversational, informative, fun and a little irreverent. We hope you'll enjoy it. Tell us what you think by sending email to "[email protected]".

If you have any ideas for future shows or things you'd like us to discuss, talk about or discover, please let us know!

The Graphic Reporter's Tip of the Week

On last night's show I talked about how to create a photo reflection like the one you can make with iWeb. It's a great way to add depth and a bit of sophistication to a photo. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

Ware of the Week goes to Typeit4Me. An amazingly useful time saver that lets you assign abbreviations to chunks of text, and expands them as you type.

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