Corey shares another way to get a cool 3D light beam effect.
Corey finishes up the Olympic-inspired design that he began last week in Part 1.
The Olympic-inspired tutorial will be coming in two parts. Stop by next week for the conclusion to this video.
This week’s tutorial deals with creating masks for complicated images by using channels.
You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).

I’ve become enamored with the 3D tools in PSCS4 Extended, and I’ve started looking at integrating items made with Google Sketchup, but starting out with something easy, yet elegant like your tutorial is great.

Very nice … will this work with brush strokes or does it have to be vectors?

I’m only sorry that I haven’t been able to afford cs4 ext. yet. But nice tut any way

Dude Corey, this looks like way to much fun. Off to play with it now. I must say, it’s really nice to have a tut again that’s not about the brush engine.

Great Tutorial
It’s Really amazing what you can do with it.

This was a very cool tutorial
As soon as I got CS4 I did the exact same technique you did on this tutorial!
I was wondering could you make a tutorial that would help me with a problem I’m having with CS4 Extended
When I was working with 3D objects, the 3 pronged arrow object didnt appear on my screen, do you know why it doesn’t appear?

A little off topic, but I was wondering how you were creating these flash tutorials. Are you using something like Captivate?
ps ~ Great tutorials! I’ve learned some easier ways to do things.

Which one do you prefer better CS3 or CS4
Amanda said on — November 30, 2008 @ 4:41 am
Looks cool, but this doesn’t mean you aren’t going to do CS3 tuts anymore, does it?
Faith said on — December 9, 2008 @ 10:33 pm
Thank you so VERY much! I’ve reviewed quite a few tutorials but your instructions are THE BEST. I was really frustrated before I came across this website. Thanks again!
Steve said on — December 12, 2008 @ 10:06 pm
Okay, I got CS4 recently, and for some reason, whenever I go into the 3D menu (I followed instructions to a T) it is grayed out (as in I can’t select anything)
How do I fix this problem?
Mathias said on — December 15, 2008 @ 9:24 pm
this might be a dumb question.
but whats where’s the “option key”
Faith said on — December 16, 2008 @ 10:57 pm
I tried the sphere graphic design up to the point of filling in the color. The “option delete” function you mentioned in filling the color does not work. Do I need to assign this function? And, is there another function I can use to fill in the graphic???? PLEASSSSE advise, thx

I love this. I can’t wait to upgrade to CS4! You’re hella creative!
Steve said on — December 18, 2008 @ 8:12 am
to Matthias (and maybe Faith) Option Delete is alt+backspace on a PC.
Mac to PC is:
Option to Alt
Command to Cntrl
Delete to Backspace

Wow..
Its really amazing…..
Mathias said on — December 25, 2008 @ 12:07 am
Thanks alot Steve!
You made my day.

Corey,
Im a graphic designer and I use both PS and Illustrator extensively, and I am very, very good with them as well. However, I must say, your masterful understanding of basic techniques is incredible….Your tutorials arent about creating huge explosive graphic pieces like most sites, but about showcasing creative techniques in simple, dummy proof steps.
Keep up the awesome work.
