    this is awesome. I just finished a project where I did this same type of thing to a photo in Premiere. But to have full control in Photoshop over 3d animation is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

    The animation aspect of CS4 has after effects written alllll over it ;P

  27. TL said on — April 29, 2009 @ 4:23 am

    might be a silly question but can I do this with normal CS4 or do I need Extended version to get the 3D options?

    Awsome tut!

  35. ErroR said on — May 26, 2009 @ 1:54 pm

    That’s very very nice, would be nicer if you’d copy the first key frame to the 6th second, so it would go smoothly back to the beginning and loop

  36. Alex said on — June 19, 2009 @ 11:39 am

    Where is that “Option key”?

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.
