Life / Photography just got easier…
Those marvelous Adobe engineers have done it again!
Simply put, Configurator is a roll-your-own cornucopia for tools, actions, adjustments, masks... you name it, you can do it. Put everything you do in CS4 in one simplified place.
Channels and Masks
Deke McClelland recently released Photoshop CS4 Channels and Masks - One on One. In the preface, Deke gives you keyboard shortcuts, sets preferences, and installs his preferred version of Configurator on your CS4. As you work through his book, he's tailored the CS4 environment for you ~ just the way he thinks.
Making Configurator Work
Configurator is a new tool from Adobe; along with Air it's a simple install. Just drag and drop tools and other controls, add your own personal touch with an image, play a video, even reach out to your blog if you wish - the flexibility is immense.
In essence, this is just a beginner's shot from me. I already know, that with time, my present Configurator 0.9.0 will become Configurator 1.3 (?) as I refine, enhance, and speed up my workflow using this remarkable tool.
BTW - Configurator only works on Adobe Photoshop CS4…
Users Guide
Adobe's Users Guide does a pretty fair job of setting up the workflow environment for Configurator. Between looking at Deke's version and checking out the users guide, I built 0.9.0 in a little over an hour.
Because of the recent Trojan horse and rebuilding the laptop, I've had to do several tweaks to CS4 after it's recent reinstall.
Configurator is sort of like meringue tips on icing on the most delicious chocolate pie... while I musn't do pies any more - Configurator is a sublimate!
Enjoy...

Not So Subtle Bonus
With DSLR sensors getting bigger and bigger, images get smaller on the screen. With Configurator, I have gained some more screen space, simplified my click path, and gained can now more deeply enjoy Channels and Masks...Configurator is sort of like meringue tips on icing on the most delicious chocolate pie... while I musn't do pies any more - Configurator is a sublimate!
