Float. CLEAR!

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Methods for Containing Floats

  • Use overflow:hidden with a set width. (width:100%) OR overflow:auto
  • If floating left, float another element right to clear.
  • :after with IE hacks…

.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}

.clearfix {display: inline-block;}

/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix {height: 1%;}
.clearfix {display: block;}
/* End hide from IE-mac */

More Intense Colors

In Photoshop open the Channel Mixer adjustment layer.  For each of the three Output Channels bump up the 100% to 150 or so and the 0% down to -35 or so.  This will make the colors brighter and more intense, a much better way of brightening and saturating colors.

Squeeze in a Few Extra Pixels

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

I hate to offer this advice but I’ll do it anyways…

  • Image > Image Size…
  • drop down to ‘percent’
  • enter 105%
  • make sure all the check boxes are checked and ‘Ok’
  • repeat until desired size
  • could try some sharpening techniques here as well…
    • maybe an unsharpen mask.

This is not the best way to “up res” but it works. It’s better than buying software out there to do it for you if you don’t have the money or don’t want to spend the money. The best thing is to get the original as large as possible… obviously.
