    Great Tutorial.
    BTW., Corey, your last tutorial “Reverse restoration” is not working! The movie shows “3 D background effects” instead of “Reverse restoration”!

  3. Stefan Klein said on — November 7, 2009 @ 6:33 am

    PS.: “Reverse restoration” sows the right movie, if you select it on the right side under “popular”, but not if you select it from within the selection on the left side (the big preview window)

    Pretty cool!

    A very nice tutorial – I have just one problem after downloading the trial version of Photoshop CS4 extended ( which I will certainly buy ) using the 3D tool.

    The coloured arrows you use to scale the 3D object are not present in the working area and saving the texture is not generating an “individual” file.
    Where do I have to change the settings?

  17. Luke said on — November 28, 2009 @ 9:50 pm

    For the 3D widget go to Photoshop > Preferences > Performance (Mac OS) or Edit > Preferences > Performance (Windows). on the right hand side it has “GPU settings” it says enable OpenGL drawings tick it and you should be able to get the widget

    great tut, sadly i only have standard cs4. is there anyway to get an effect like this without the 3d extras

  19. Leprakawn said on — December 15, 2009 @ 6:19 pm

    Corey:

    Thank you for this wonderful information! I hope to achieve great work of at least 50% to what you can do!

Document Your Happy Accidents

Sometimes our best creations happen by pure experimentation and accident. Sitting in front of a Photoshop file, you are 40 History States in, and then it happens…magic! You really want to be able to get back to that moment. To do so, make sure that you turn on the History Log checkbox in the General Preferences (Photoshop>Preferences>General [PC: Edit>Preferences>General]). You can save the information as metadata, as a separate text file, or both!
