“Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.” - Vincent Van Gogh

Color effects everything in our lives- it can send a positive or a negative message. It can be soothing or it can create a disarming stir. Marketers have know how to manipulate with color for years. When I say Campbells soup can, you most definitely visualized a red soup can and the label. Red excites, it energizes.

The old masters of painting have been studying color and its effects for centuries. Van Gogh sought not to mimic reality but to use colors that let him be more expressive. Why not tap into that hard work and borrow some color schemes from Vermeer or Kandinsky for your next project or personal photography?

With Photoshop’s Match Color Tool you can do just that to all your personal photos. Made to reproduce the colors on a batch of images, finding other cool and useful applications for these tools is what makes Photoshop, or any tool, great!

Hi Everyone! Charlie here. Since I already have a fan (right back at ya Molly!) I figured it was about time to get in on the blogging.

My day starts off with mom and dad in the office. Then as everyone gets here its my job to greet them hello and show them to their desk. Sometimes I let them throw my toys around too. Depends on my mood.

After everyone has settled in and the ipod is going, its time for my morning nap. Sometimes the mailman tries to sneak in and drop off the mail but I always find a way to sniff him out and run up to the front to make sure he knows who’s boss. Who’s going to protect all these techies if not for me?!

Here are some pics from my first day on the job.

Charlie
