    Corey,

    Normally your tutorials are right on the $$$. By skipping the first step or so, it negates the rest of the tutorial for people wanting to experiment with your concept. Even by creating a background and a background copy, I have no idea how you got thaty FX on the typing layer and as a result the “X” will not be on its own layer and it reverts back to the initial text for the foreground.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
