Updating KBs

June 10, 2021 By Poonum Mehta

Hi bl∞g this week I’ve been spending a good amount of time just tweaking and fixing KBs and organizing some internal content for LAITS. Let’s catch up.

Textures Training

I began making an advanced version of the textures training! This training’s going to be a little freeform…I’m providing a few examples of how to use and layer filter galleries and then convert their created ‘texture’ into a brush that can be stamped onto images. Here’s an example of a comic book effect I found:

I want to teach STAs how to add a reflection pool image like the one below: It’s a bit of a tricky process, though, so that’s taken me some time to figure out myself…hopefully I’ll make some headway there soon so I can continue writing up the instructions.

 

Typography Training

Ingrid had given me some feedback that the headings were uneven for the typography training, so I went through and standardized those. I’m wondering now if there should be some kind of template for all trainings so that headings all match.

 

Photo Sourcing / Color Grading Training

I finished up the instructions for this training last week, but Angie ran into some issues while she was trying to import the color table into the swatches panel. Initially, we thought this was a PC only issue, and that the color table ACT file was not compatible with the Swatches ACO file requirement. Turns out Angie just needed to select the file extension she was searching for (kind of a dumb PC thing if you ask me…)

That’s all for now!
