In this week’s video we take a look at using the new 3D features in Photoshop CS4 Extended to create interesting design elements. While some may think that 3D in Photoshop is only the domain of 3D artists, there are a number of features that Photoshop artists may find very useful. Unfortunately, these features are not available in Photoshop CS4 Standard. If you haven’t yet upgraded to CS4 and are not entirely sure whether you want to go with Standard or Extended, give this video a look to see one of the many possibilities with Extended. Here’s the link.

Celebrate the holiday season by learning how to use Photoshop to create falling snow over your favorite holiday image.
Corey goes back a few decades in style and explains how to create this groovy text design.
You know those scale markers they have on maps that say that 1″ equals 1 mile? Well, Photoshop can create something called Scale Markers. These are measurement guides that are created based on the measurement scale you use. Once a measurement scale is established, go under the Analysis menu and choose Place Scale Marker. In this example, I have established my measurement scale to interpret 100 pixels as 1″ in a file that’s 10″ wide at 100 dpi. So if I want to create a 3″ scale marker, then I would enter 3 in the Length field. I can also choose to display text as a label for the marker. You can choose its color and placement depending on the file.

Thanks for the intro to 3D. Since I still have standard CS4 I wasn’t aware how easily cool three dimensional designs can spice up 2D output. On the fence regarding an upgrade, though. Priorities rule.
