Photoshop Pan Example
December 19th, 2006 by Greg R Notess
At 7:40 into the YouTube video showing Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta, this video finally becomes a screencast and demonstration of the new Photoshop. What I found interesting here is that to demonstrate an application like Photoshop which uses up so much screen real estate and yet make it viewable within the small YouTube window, the creators just pan from one section of the screen to another. I find this to be fairly effective, although the pace was a bit quick for me to fully absorb the information. With most screencasting software like Camtasia, to get the same effect, the easiest way is probably to move the program window to have the highlighted features within the recording window, or add zoom and pan functions after a recording is made. I hope to experiment more with this in the future.
