Pressing the Option (PC: Alt) key when invoking the Clouds filter (Filter>Render>Clouds) will increase the contrast between the Foreground and Background colors, giving you clouds with a higher contrast.
Immediately following the cloud rendering, if you press Command-Option-F (PC: Ctrl-Alt-F), you’ll get clouds with even more contrast. Press this key combination as many times as you like until your clouds are visually appealing. from Bert Monroy

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.

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).
