Digital Reading

How many eBooks have you read so far? I usually read my ebooks in my old Nokia 7610 using Mobi Reader. When I saw the Amazon's Kindle DX, my eyes crave for more ebooks to read. This is one of the like-to-have gadgets for me this year. Its battery life is tempting that it says you can use it for up to four (4) days without charging. I often travel twice or thrice a week for 10 to 12hours. Surely I won't have to read fast as I can anymore worrying to catch up with my fone battery life. What's more tempting with Kindle DX is that I can download books right from it with its 3G wireless. I grabbed some photos of it from the Amazon site.

Layer Style – copying shortcuts

You have just applied several layer styles to your layer. And you want that same styles applied to other layers. It is so tedious and time-consuming if you will re-do all the styles to all remaining layers. Here’s what you can do. Right-click the layer you applied with styles. Click Copy Layer Style. Then, select all other layers. Here’s how to select them. If all other layers do not come right after the other, press and hold Ctrl key and Click each one. Then, release the Ctrl key, right-click any of the layer that you have just selected, and choose Paste Layer Style. If they do, click one layer (say, the top most among the layers you want the styles to be applied on), press and hold Ctrl+Shift keys, and then click the layer on the bottom. Right-click any of those, and choose Paste Layer Style. Another way to do this, which is more practical to few layers, is by pressing and holding the Ctrl key. Then Click and Drag the “fx” to the other layers. #
