    This is cool. But I could not do the animation part. I am using Adobe Photoshop 7. Any body knows? Thanks.

    Great tutorial, but when I play through the finished product, it goes slow the first time like you said it would but after it goes through multiple times it still moves at a very slow FPS rate… Is there a way to fix this?

    Nice work, man!
    For those with problems, only works on Photoshop CS3, but Extended… Yep… It sucks… For the one who asked about the keyframe rate, or something like it, in the fly out menu you have some options for the video! Good luck.

    And thanks for these great tutorials…

RGB Flesh Tones: Getting The “Red” Out

If you’re working on an RGB image and you’ve done your basic color correction but the flesh tone in your image still seems too red (a common problem), here’s a tip to fix it fast. First, select the flesh tone areas in your image (using the Lasso tool, etc.). Add a slight feather by going under the Select menu and choosing Feather. Enter a 1-pixel feather for low-res images; 3-5 pixels for high-res images. Go under the Image menu, under Adjustments, and choose Hue/Saturation. From the Edit pop-up menu, choose Reds. Now lower the Saturation slider until your skin tones look more natural and click OK.
