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 liked watching this come together; a simple balloon never looked so cool.

Corey, your current tutorials based on new movies is terrific! One day, I hope you will produce some tutorials based on past movies, i.e. all the pixar movies (especially Cars), & other greats. (PS – all of your tutorials are fantastic — Thanks for sharing your amazing talents)

Just saw Up this weekend. The balloons were my favorite part!
Corey, could you take this a step further and do an animated balloon with color cast shadow? When the balloons passed over the street below there were these really cool colorized shadows that passed over everything. That part is still sticking in my head. Would love to see it as a tutorial.

but it would have been fun to make a character from the movie

Great stuff as usual Corey.
A quick question; when are you going to write a book on your techniques,?as you seem to be the one I follow most due to your expertise.

@Andre
For a PC, when he says delete, use your backspace key. Also, just in case you don’t know this, option is alt.

Hi Corey,
I like the way you explain things.
Can you help me? I need to create a “take a tour video” for my website.
Pls contact me on e(at)u-city(dot).org
Thx
Jesse said on — June 29, 2009 @ 4:11 pm
My photoshop will not let me do Artist filter.. so I cannot do the plastic wrap filter…
Anyone know what is going on?
Lori Hug said on — October 2, 2009 @ 4:14 pm
