More Brushing Effects for Photoshop EnthusiastsWritten by Maricon Williams
Brushes creating smoke, fog and cloud effects add up elegance to an image. This is why Photoshop has added series of brushes to choose from. Some brushes are designed to create a wide range of vaporous textures, from enormously soft cotton ball styles to elements with well defined features. Photoshop has a library of 25 dynamic brushes by David Nagel which are designed to help you customize your own vapor effects with just a few strokes. 17 of these brushes are cloud brushes, which use large nibs for producing sky-scapes. The rest are vapor trail brushes which use smaller nibs and tighter scattering to produce thin jet or rocket trails, smoke columns or anything else you can turn up with.In collection, each of brushes uses a unique brush nib, which you can customize to create variations. Each brush has also its own set of dynamics. You can select it right away and start your stokes. These brushes will work best in combination with a pressure-sensitive tablet. This series of brushes is a more customizable way to fabricate not only cloud effects and other vaporous matter like jet trails and smoke plumes.

With birth of e-postcards, it shrinks different States in world into a ‘global village’. Everyone is like neighbors. When we feel like giving an inspirational postcard to somebody we can do it with just a flick of a finger. When a friend needs spiritual assistance, an spiritual postcard is just a mouse click away. If I am to describe latest technology, I will say it is on ‘bleeding edge’ – a streak which separates fantasy from reality. This is where we draw line. The populace in past milieu may find this impossible during their time but now we’re enjoying technology far less than they did before. Before, it takes forever to have a mail delivered to you. There are cases when you most likely to have it on day of occasion but twilight broke without anticipated delivery… A lot of mail misses target date. Some misses target person. It happens when mail was sent to other person with same name. Either way it’s frustrating! The level of eagerness and excitement is different when you have it at right moment in time. Postcards answered most of mailing problems. Communication – both in respect with information giving and reaction to information experienced quantum leaps. We must embrace leaps for improvement of human performance technology. With this new technology we developed social consciousness. We get acquainted with people from different race, color and creed. We get to understand what they’re going through, how they feel and what they feel about us. Good thing with it is confinement of interaction with more people simultaneously.
