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!

There are still a lot of us who have dial-up.
This tutorial was useless.
How about words and pictures -disjointed words are not helpful!!!

I thought that it may just be one or two which were slow to load.
This site has so much potential, particularly for a teacher of digital graphics!!!

Great Tutorial. However, I am having a hard time with one aspect. When it comes to using the gradients ( ) I am only allowed to apply to either the top, left, right or bottom. One only. I am unable to use the gradient on more than one. How do you fix that? Help! I’m at a loss!

Scott said on — May 11, 2009 @ 6:23 pm
Lee, you missed the part (about halfway through) where he selected the gradient tool as black to transparent. Not black to white.
Eve said on — May 31, 2009 @ 6:00 pm
You are brillaint – thank you so much – now if only i knew how to make a black to transparent gradient as it appears i dont have one

When you live 6.5 miles from town and it takes 20 minutes to get to town because of the narrow and twisty roads, and where the forest ceiling is so thick you can only see the stars from your gravel driveway, you are greatfulto have dial-up.
blackmagic said on — July 13, 2009 @ 12:18 am
Thanks Corey, for a novice like me your videos are easily understood and I am learning so much by following the tutorials……My children are really impressed by what I am creating….Never too old to learn new tricks….
Giliam said on — July 24, 2009 @ 8:50 am
Great tutorial! But I have one problem, when I want to make the overlay from the gradient tool, it doesnt show the lines (Something further than the middle of the movie). Does anyone knows why this is happening?

[...] and brightness/contrast to make the bubbles pop. Used the "Photo to Drawing" technique found at Photo to Drawing | Planet Photoshop. (Found in an old post by Riversider) Played around with blending and lightening the masked image [...]

Lee: You are probably using a gradient that is going from black to white (or vise versa) You need to use a gradient that goes from black to transparent.
Also make sure you have the transparency box checked to the right.
Iamdogsmom said on — October 15, 2009 @ 7:25 pm
Thank you for these tutorials. I don’t have Photoshop, I have Photoshop Elements. It takes a few adaptions to figure out how to achieve some of your steps, but it can be done. Your videos give them the basics, I just improvise….and learn things I’d never have found on my own. Much thanks.
