You are sitting in the living room, laptop in front of you, Photoshop loaded and you catch a news story and notice the guy they’re interviewing has large bags under his eyes and you think to yourself, I could clone those out…

You screw something up and instantly look for the History palette. Especially weird when you’re driving.

You are looking for the layer palette on the LCD screen on the camera.

You find yourself sticking pins into effigies of the Adobe upper management.

(Of course I don’t do this, nor do I recommend it!)

….you realize, before shaving an already-balding head…Hey, I can preview the results before I make such a decision! 😀 <http://ambress.com/dp/pics/before_after.gif>

No, I’ll pass on the "Mr. Potato-Head" or thug look!

So that’s you eh, D.P.?

Dude, if my hair was already that far gone, I’d save the money on the professional haircuts and just start shaving it!

Doesn’t look bad at all, man!

Phos,

Yeah, that’s me, and thanks for the compliment. But, until I learn to wear a cap more often and/or quit bumping my head on overhanging cabinet doors, car trunk lids, etc., I better keep a little hair to hide such injuries. Then again, it’s usually the top of my head, not the sides or back, that I bump. At least it’s nice to be able to predict the results of shaving the head.

One word (OK, a few):

You’d look pretty sporting in a nice felt fedora/Indiana Jones-style hat.

Just so happens there’s a really nice hat company not far from me. <http://www.bollmanhats.com/>

Find a couple you like an Photoshop them on for size!

That’s funny Phos…I never wore hats much and this pic was only done for fun while testing out a budget studio lighting setup, but one of the few hats I owned and liked was indeed a felt fedora. I’d nearly say that Bollman might’ve even been the brand, as familiar as that sounds, but I doubt it. This was a cheap hat I bought simply to keep my head warm if needed in the winter. The pic is probably 12-15 years old, the hat was lost. <http://ambress.com/dp/pics/fedora.jpg>

Too much time in Photoshop? Well, it was about three years ago when my wife was diagnosed with skin cancer. I was very concerned. One night I had a dream in which I cured her cancer. I simply imported her into Photoshop and used the stamp and healing brush to do the repairs to the areas that required it. It was very easy to do with the exception of the "importing" part which, oddly enough, I am unable to recall the exact steps.

It appears that I did an excellent job because she is fine now. In all fairness, she also saw a doctor that did some surgery. The surgery did leave some scars. I now just think that she resembles a hot biker chick that has suffered a couple nasty knife wounds to her back. Those scars will not be a problem once I remember the importing steps.

Daryl – I gotta agree with Phos; I think the shave look is the way to go man, you look awesome with the baldness and the goatee.

Hat or no…give it serious consideration!

Cheers to your wife and my best on your search for the "import feature". Once you get it perfected you’re welcome to sample my Roman nose (as in "roamin’ all over my face").

You know you have been using PS too much when…

You hit <ctrl> J before you start a crossword puzzle (in the newspaper) and <ctrl> Z after you write in the wrong letter.

You can’t keep you mind on The Daily Show because the inset photos are not color corrected to match the live shot.

You wake up at 3:00 AM to try out an idea in PS

You don’t mind gaining weight because you can fix it in photoshop.
