    Hmmm. All my lens flares have an opaque background to them so there’s a box around the flare. I must be missing something.

    This is really AWESOME!!!! Only one thing…can you tell me why I can’t “Define Brush Preset?” Something isn’t working, I don’t know what, but it won’t let me define it! :( Thanks! I really love your videos! Great tips and techniques!!

  37. Mihai said on — July 14, 2009 @ 8:32 am

    Hello Corey,

    Awesome tutorial! I just wanted to ask if you can tell us how you made the text effect “dancing with the stars”.
    I would be really grateful :)

  38. Kelly said on — July 23, 2009 @ 9:35 pm

    Love your work! I have followed several videos and learned a lot from them! THANK YOU! This one though, I am having the same problem as kellychevy101 though. I do everything the same but the define brush preset option is greyed out. I tried it on a mac and a pc and have spent hours going over all the settings trying to find out what I did wrong. Can anyone help?

  39. Superman said on — August 17, 2009 @ 4:38 am

    heyy love love love the tutes. you’re just brilliant.
    you probably heard this question many many times but i was wondering where you got that picture from?!
    thanks in advanced.

  40. Corey Barker said on — August 17, 2009 @ 9:06 am

    The picture came from Fotolia.com

  41. Chelle said on — August 25, 2009 @ 1:07 am

    Amazing. Thankyou Corey.

    Btw guys, if you get stumped on differences in Mac/Pc key controls–use your preferred search engine to find the quickest answer. Yahoo answers is helpful for that too.

    Mac-Command /Pc-Ctrl
    Mac-Return /Pc-Enter

    This link should help too:

    Did anyone figure out why Define Brush Preset is grayed out? I have trying to figure this out and nothing.

    The tutorial is awesome! Just need some help defining a brush preset, please!

Select with color channels

Sometimes, targeting a specific color chan-nel can help create a much better selection, especially if there are distinct color differences you can take advantage of. In this example, the same diagonal move with the Quick Selection tool resulted in a much better selection of the heart when it was applied only to the Red channel in the Channels panel (Window>Channels).
