I have another photoshop question

You guys are just gonna lovvvveeee me!

I'm trying to make my logo into a brush so I can put the entire logo on my pics as a watermark. Every time I try to do it, the colors or detail doesn't transfer over, so I just have this black and grey blah logo- I'm sure I'm doing the procedure completely wrong to begin with. :) Not sure what I am doing wrong, can you help me?

I hope you understand what I just said.

Thx

Video Blog

Can anyone tell me if there is a secret to uploading a video to my blog. I tried uploading an mpeg, but it didnt take. Is there a certain format I should use, or any size restrictions I should know about? Thanks.

Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

Ok I just received this e-mail and posted it on my blog and I will be honest, it was really hard. I'm not great at math to begin with. I think I had to try this about 4 times and finally got the correct answer- see if you can figure it out. You can post your comment with your number and I'll tell you if it's right!

Math Problem:
There are 7 girls on a bus (No Bus Driver).
Each girl is carrying 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat there are 7 little cats.
Question: How many legs are there on the bus?

Good luck!- (it isn't a trick question)

Shooting Question

Alright. I have a technical question for everyone. When shooting in manual and selecting the focus point, assuming that the subject is still, are you using single shot or AI servo mode. I thought I remember Mike saying that he used AI servo mode while using the back button focus, but I can't remember. But that almost doesn't make sense if the subject is still? Do you guys remember or have a preference on which focusing mode you use for a still shot? Thanks for you help.

Making your own action..??????

Everyone knows Courtney and I are action freaks but I have no idea how to do my own. I'd like to make one to put a border around my images that I post on my blog. Right now I'm manually doing it and it's taking FOREVER!!!! Can someone volunteer to give me some guidance on how to do it? I'd like to do 2 colors, such as a small white border surrounded by a bigger black border.
Thanks a million!!

playing around with branding

I've been thinking about changing my branding around and wanted to get your feedback on a new logo that I developed. I tried to go with something simple, and a little different with the icon. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks.

Canon AF Options

O.k. now that I have my 5D I am working through some of the focusing options. I have been using the AF where you pick the square that needs to be focused. It is working great.

My question is:
After reading through the manual several times I am still a bit foggy.

To keep a person/bride in focus when they are walking towards you the setting should be Al Servo? and the middle red dot being used as your focus point? Then my camera should follow that person and keep focus on them?

I tried it a couple of times, and it seemed to work. Is this what ya'll do?

Alot of the meat and potatoes of camera settings were on location which leaves my memory as my soul source of reference as to what Mike had said.

2nd Question:
Do you all have your sharpening at 0 in camera. I have gone back and forth on this, as it adds an extra step in processing. If you do leave it at zero what do you use to sharpen? PS? does lightroom have a sharpening feature, couldn't find one, unless it is the "clarity" button?

Thanks guys and gallies.
