A Non-Photorealistic Lighting Model For Automatic Technical Illustration 
Phong-shaded 3D imagery does not provide geometric information of the same richness as human-drawn technical illustrations. A non-photorealistic lighting model is presented that attempts to narrow this gap. The model is based on practice in traditional technical illustration, where the lighting model uses both luminance and changes in hue to indicate surface orientation, reserving extreme lights and darks for edge lines and highlights. The lighting model allows shading to occur only in mid-tones so that edge lines and highlights remain visually prominent. In addition, we show how this lighting model is modified when portraying models of metal objects. These illustration methods give a clearer picture of shape, structure, and material composition than traditional computer graphics methods.

In my forays into digital photography in the last four years, I've encountered a number of issues and learned a lot about making pictures sans film. With any new technology, one is forced to deal with both the same old issues and arguments, and also, brand new ones that have never before been considered. Rather than make any attempt at cohesiveness, below are some various points and lessons I've learned.

The Photoshop "Save for Web" Feature
As of version 5 and greater, Photoshop includes a very handy Save for Web command. This feature allows you to produce a copy of your image that is optimised for web use. This means that the image file will be as small as possible, and that the image will use only web-safe colours (if desired). Save for Web can produce GIF, JPEG, or PNG format images.

Photoshop: Create Seamless Background Tiles with the Tile Maker Filter
Photoshop can create backgrounds and textures with a combination of filters and commands, but you can also create a pattern based on a selection from a scanned image. If you define a pattern based on a small selection from a scanned image, you can use the Fill command, a Pattern layer or the Pattern Stamp tool to fill a selected area with that pattern. The pattern that you defined will be repeated horizontally and vertically to fill the selection.

Photoshop 7 can apply many effects to a layer by applying a layer style. A layer style is a combination of settings that are applied to a layer. These settings can be saved as a preset style and can then be applied to other layers as well.
