Kandalu ImageBrain

Kandalu ImageBrain In this tutorial we will go over on how to use some of the new features in ImageBrain. Please keep in mind that at the time of this video this product is currently in beta & does not represent the finished product. What this program allows you to do if to locate duplicates of the same image on your computer or external hard drives that may be connected to your machine. What makes this program different in the way that it works compared to other duplicate finders is that not only does it locate the same image but it does it regardless of name or file extension, by using the identification technology (PSNR-K).

Please note that when you make your transparent image to save it as the largest size for iMovie 08 as far as Full Screen or Wide Screen it will save you time in the long run.

In this short tutorial I will show you how to use WordPress & Quicktime Export To Web, on your WordPress Blog. Now a few things to note is that sometimes the “.JPG” image that is created in QT Export to Web may not show up on your blog. A simple fix is to open up any image editor & resave it as a .jpg image. Now the most important part is that the reference movie file that is also created chances are it will not play. Again simple fix is to point it to the Original movie file for example “My_Movie.mp4 or My_Movie.m4v” which ever may be the case. This way it will show your image & movie file and will play correctly in your WordPress Blog via Windows Firefox and IE7 as it will be fine in MAC OS X Safari regardless of how you do it. As always make sure that your movie is optimized for the web with fast start. Doing it this way will also keep the movie from loading since the image is the first thing to load rather then the movie, until you hit play. Then it will play & load at that time.

Please note that I have only test this in the browsers that I mentioned above. I have not yet tested this in Linux at this time.

So feel free to comment or add to this great fix that I figured out for WordPress.

Have fun & enjoy.

In this tutorial I will show you how to take an image cut out a part of it’s picture without destroying the original artwork, by using a Vector Mask & the Path Tool. Also showing it overlaid on top of another picture.

Have fun & enjoy.

Here is another photoshop image I did using vectors with a quickmask, as a reflective image.  What this means is you can change the background color to what ever you want the image will still maintain it’s reflectiveness.  I attached a demo as a .jpg file & I will include my .PSD file for download as well if you so choose to use it for your own needs.

Have Fun & Enjoy.
