Crumpled Paper

 

This crumpled paper effect starts with designing a piece of notebook paper and then applying a displacement map to create the texture. Finish the effect off with some layer styles to give it depth.

    Agree with GabyB. This one was was devastatingly simple in execution but the underlying principles profound. I like the idea of being able to use the simple scaled page and making a template by punching out shapes or text for example. It is often a great way to learn of techniques to apply to your own work that wins the day with these tutorials rather than just repeating them.

    Cheers,

    Gary.

Imageready’s Supercharged Eyedropper

In previous versions of Photoshop, you could only use the Eyedropper tool to sample a color from other open images in Photoshop, but for some reason, ImageReady had a supercharged Eyedropper. If you clicked the mouse button within your image and held it down, you could leave your image window and sample colors from, well… just about anything—including your computer desktop or any other open application. Freaky! Fortunately, Adobe finally added this same power to Photoshop’s Eyedropper tool.
