Dr. Brown has added a unique Photoshop CS2
script for you to download to his wacky Photoshop Tips and
Tricks web site. He's been kind enough to record a
video tutorial showing how to use his Dr. Brown's
Services script in practical ways. The script contains two virtual machines–the Place-A-Matic and the Merge-A-Matic.
Place-A-Matic places images from Adobe Bridge into Photoshop as Smart Objects. Brown shows how to use the script to
place Camera Raw photos into a Photoshop file as Smart Objects. He then combines the Smart Object layers in interesting
ways (masking to combine exposures, and colorizing portions of a black and white photo.) The best part is that because
these Smart Objects are made from raw images, they can be reopened in the Camera Raw dialog for further adjustments,
including — get this — non-destructive, re-editable sharpening. If you're a true Photoshop geek, you'll realize how
useful that is. Editable sharpening - it's aMAZing - as Brown would say!








1. This is a really great script, I'm very excited to try out the sharpening technique. Thanks for the link. And I love that guy, he is so crazy when he talks.
