Corey shares another way to get a cool 3D light beam effect.
Corey finishes up the Olympic-inspired design that he began last week in Part 1.
The Olympic-inspired tutorial will be coming in two parts. Stop by next week for the conclusion to this video.
This week’s tutorial deals with creating masks for complicated images by using channels.
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).

i’ll be sure to try out the twirl on the edges, that looks great, especially the two that meet(top left). might make some vector brushes with it.

Has this video tutorial been removed? I can’t see a video on this page (or others).

Excellent Tutorial!

Is there an advantage to using the clipping group like he did?
I would have just made a selection from the shape and turned it into a layer mask on the background layer…
Obviously, I have some research to do.

You should not have done that drop shadow.
At that point I liked but after I don’t. Sometimes less is more. But I liked what you have done with that ellpitical marquee and a simple twirl effect on the edges!
