Learn what works and what really, really doesn't in this laugh-out-lout episode of dekePod.Get more from Deke at deke.com.

      dekePod 016: Photoshopping the Great Masters

      The great artists of the High Renaissance had a habit of painting the guys as precious and beautiful, and the women as corpulent brutes. Deke shows how to take one such rudely rendered lady, Raphael’s Maddalena, and turn her into a modern hottie. PS: What works for this model will work for yours! Find more Photoshop tips at deke.com.

      If you use Photoshop, then you probably browse your images with Adobe’s Bridge, which shows you thumbnails of your files. Good news: The Bridge lets you preview images without going to the trouble of opening them. Bad news: Those previews result in large cache files that eat up your hard drive. Worse yet, they permit others to track what you’ve been looking at. Even if you’ve long since destroyed the original file, the thumbnail persists! Learn how to protect yourself—and maybe even save your ...

      Adobe's landmark pen tool defined an industry. But to the uninitiated, its reliance on anchor points and control handles makes it as approachable as first-year algebra. Until you see it's nothing more than a mating ritual: The points are boys and the handles are girls. Once you get that, it all falls into place.Get more dekePod at http://oreilly.com/photoshop/dekepod/ and more from Deke at http://deke.com/.Subscribe to dekePod in iTunes

      If you've seen an episode of the original Star Trek, you're no doubt familiar with the show's main character, Captain Kirk, and his eternal blurry-eyed fascination with women. Every time he came in sight of a love interest, she appeared to him in diffused focus.
