Just plain fun

Here's something I haven't been able to duplicate in Photoshop very well. It's called drizzle art.

Jackson Pollock was one of the most important artists of the 20th century. You won't recognize the name but I bet you've seen his amazing drip paintings.

I wasn't really a fan until I could try it myself. This site gives you that opportunity and the best part is, it's without all the mess!

You can try creating a work of art in Pollock’s style. You start with a blank canvas. Use your mouse to drip paint on the canvas. Change color by clicking the mouse and use the spacebar to clear and start over.

Go to the site below and click on the LARGE black and white enter graphic.

Once in a while you need a break like this for just plain fun. Enjoy!

Photoshop - How to quickly copy layer styles

Ever want to duplicate a neat layer style to another layer? Well, you don't have to write down all the steps you did and then repeat them on another layer.
In this example, I wanted to special effect I did to the word "fancy" to be duplicated on the layer containing the word "text". I have 3 layer styles that I edited to my liking.Do one of the following:

• In the Layers palette, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) a single layer effect from one layer to another to duplicate the layer effect, or drag the Effects bar from one layer to another to duplicate the layer style.

• Drag one or more layer effects from the Layers palette to the image to apply the resulting layer style to the highest layer in the Layers palette that contains pixels at the drop point.

Perfect!
