Open in Camera Raw from Bridge
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).

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.

I understand all but when you highlight two layers at the same time to creat a layer set.What key to you push on a P C to do this??
Thanks Dave
