So a couple of weeks ago, Doug had an accident involving his wheeled garbage container. I would call it a ‘trash can’ but to me, ‘can’ implies something made of metal and most trash bins today aren’t.
Tommy drew the above to depict and reinterpret the actual events. Because I was in a rush, I scanned my version of the drawing and finished it in Photoshop.
What exactly happened to Doug’s fingers? You’ll have to ask him yourself. Tommy’s version gets the big picture correct, but is off in some of the details, like what Doug was wearing.
Occasionally during the course of the many iterations we go through for our interface designs, someone will wander up and wonder, in passing, how well it will work for color blind people?
Because of this, we try to have at least two differentiators (e.g. color and shape) for most of our little icons.
But sometimes you need a way to proof and check your image. Vischeck has a very handy Photoshop plugin just for that purpose. And it’s free!
Notice the cyan-green range dropping out.
So the other day, Doug was migrating his files and settings to a new computer. When it came time to move his Photoshop workspaces he had carefully customized, he had a little trouble finding the actual file, since there’s no ‘export’ option and there are no hints internal to the application. So, based on a suspicion and a hunch, I dug around and found where they live.
Unless you’ve done some serious customization to the places Windows keeps things, your workspaces should be here :
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\9.0\Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings\WorkSpaces
Replacing “USERNAME” with the name of your user account.
