Detailed Video Descriptions
1 - Batch Processing (Running Time: 8:03)
Ever wanted to resize a group of images or add a watermark to a group of images, but you just didn't have the time to do it? Well, with Photoshop's Batch processing capabilities, you can make changes to multiple images all at once. In this video, you'll learn how to add a watermark to a collection of images all at once.
2 - Using Clipping Masks (Running Time: 3:35)

3 - The Clone Stamp Tool (Running Time: 9:10)
The clone stamp tool in Photoshop allows you to clone part of an image. It's almost like copying and pasting using a paintbrush, and it can be a very elegant way of duplicating or even removing parts of an image. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use the clone stamp tool to duplicate a water tower and then to remove it.
4 - Cucoloris Blinds Effect (Running Time: 8:10)
A cucoloris (or “cookie”) is a metal sheet with patterns cut out of it, intended to cast patterned shadows on the background (and often the subject) of a photograph. In this tutorial, trainer Geoff Riggs shows you how to create the effect of window blinds casting shadows on your subject.
5 - Creating Your Own Custom Shapes (Running Time: 2:29)
You've seen Photoshop's collection of custom shapes, but did you know that you could make your own? In this video, you'll learn how to create a custom shape, save it, and apply it to an image.

11 - Linking Effect (Running Time: 3:52)
Ever wanted to link two objects together in Photoshop so that they seem to weave in and out of each other, kind of like the Olympic rings? Well, it's easier than you might think! In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create this linking effect in just a couple very easy steps.
12 - 3D Ribbon Effect (Running Time: 3:16)
As you can tell by the running time of this video, this 3-dimensional ribbon effect takes very little time to explain and even less time to create for yourself.
13 - Shadow/Highlight (Running Time: 6:04)
Photographs rarely turn out exactly how you'd like them to, especially if your camera has automatic controls. In this video, you'll learn how take a picture with dark, shadowy sections and bring those dark portions out to even out the photograph.

Stop settling for $500 to $1000 web design projects and start making some real money. More importantly, start building a real business. You know, the kind that will allow you to take some time off and still have money coming in. The kind of business where you are building an asset that can be sold at some point in the future.
If you are tired of working long hours grinding away in front the computer just to make the same money as a Starbucks barista, then you will be very interested in the following information.
Each week I host a webinar where I show designers the exact skills you need to develop to take your business to the next level. For some, that means being able to go from part-time to full-time. How nice would it be to trade in your day job for a successful business where you call the shots. For others that is means getting your very first client.
I even show the pros how to grow their business. Just last week we had a guy that fit in that top 1% category. He is charging $30,000, on the low end, for a website. He was making more money than almost all of the other 22 attendees combined.
I opened his eyes to some new ideas, one of which has the potential to double his already successful business. That is the thing about the top 1% - they are always anxious to learn something new. He could have easily passed on the opportunity to attend the webinar based on his success, but there he was soaking up new ideas to grow his business.
How To Attend The Webinar
The webinar is a 2 hour presentation plus a live Q and A session. Most of these sessions last over three hours.
We use Webex to facilitate the webinars. This allows you to watch and listen to the live presentation via the web. We use the chat feature to create a very interactive experience.
