Open in Camera Raw from Bridge
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 watched this, and started to edit an old photo of myself, just as an experimental piece. I wanted to change my eye to red, and my skin to a greyish color, basically transforming myself into a demon. I changed the eyes, and then I froze, unsure how to do a different color change for a different part. So I just made a new layer, just like the first.. And it worked wonderfully. My photo, as we speak, has red eyes, and the skin is being transformed. I may even change my teeth into a yellowish color.. (Gross, I know..) Thanks for the wonderful tips!

Also, insteand of using a paintbrush, or even the lasso tool, to fill in the areas with the new color, you could simply use the magic wand tool, select that area, and press Alt+Backspace (A trick I learned in the “Wall of Text” tutorial, the first I watched), and, viola! That area is simply and easily filled.
By the way, I only just started with photoshop 2 or maybe 3 days ago, and I’ve already learned all of this from your tutorials, and from improvising material from one, and applying it to another lesson. Thank you so much!
