Digital imaging master and unlikely crooner Deke McClelland has recorded an original love song that’s an ode to one of Photoshop’s most arcane but useful automation features.
“The thing about droplets is that they’re actually really useful, but there’s virtually no documentation about them, which makes our music video one of the rare training pieces on the topic. And even though it’s wrapped up in this over-the-top love song, the way you make a droplet, my recommended settings, and how you use the finished product are all there,” says Deke. “I wrote the melody and lyrics, and my buddies at The Jellybricks put together the music. Someone showed me a few videos from 1960s folk singer Rod McKuen, and everything fell into place.”
