More new PS panels: Sharpening, blending
Photographer/coder Glenn Mitchell has posted a new set of sharpening actions panels for use with Photoshop CS4. (He’s excited about scripting & panel development for PS: “From a programmer’s point-of-view, Photoshop CS4 offers extraordinary opportunities to modify and extend the user’s experience with Photoshop… Well done!”)
Elsewhere, Mike Hale took the blending modes panel I mentioned yesterday and upgraded it* to handle multiple selected layers at once. You can download it here (see also Mike’s release notes).
On a related note, in case it’s useful, here’s a list of blending mode keyboard shortcuts.
* Potentially interesting explanation: You can use Configurator to open up & remix any Configurator-made panel: just double-click the .GPC file in the exported panel’s folder (Photoshop CS4/Plug-Ins/Panels/{your panel’s name}/). That is, the XML file used by a panel at runtime equals the source code for that panel. Anyway, I suggested that Mike remix the panel by applying his code to the buttons.

The “blending mode shorcut competition AKA looser pay the all the beer” is also listed in the native help system.
[Ah, but who would ever look there? ;-) --J.]
I was very excited when Photoshop first introduced custom keyboard shortcuts. I truly need(ed) to change the mode shortcuts so that I can execute them with one hand and hold a mouse with the other. Unfortunately, mode shortcuts have never been in the mix.
Alas, my many requests for this feature have fallen on deaf ears.
