Welcome to Slick Mick's Tips & Tricks

Do you have Photoshop on your computer and very little idea what to do with it?

Don’t know the difference between a pixel and a pica?

Ever wonder how to remove that nose wart from Grandma’s portrait and make it look convincing?

Ever wasted an entire afternoon, trying to figure out why a postage stamp sized photo of your cousins ugly baby can’t be “enlarged” to the size of a freeway billboard without becoming so fuzzy it would have to be viewed from outer space to seem natural.

Maybe you’ve always wanted to be a graphic artist and feel your nearly there because you stumbled across “Word Art” in your text editing program and read somewhere that yellow and blue “go good together.”

If so and you’re looking for solutions to these and other profound and enigmatic mysteries, then read on silly mortal.

It’s been suggested to me that I write this blog to share some of the tips & tricks I’ve discovered, invented and stolen over the past years while passing myself off as graphic designer.

So put down your remote control, brewski, ham sandwich, porn, or whatever you have in your hand right now - and learn something new, so next time you need to remove that bong from the background of your vacation hotel picture, you’ll know what to do.
