Hi Corey,

Can you, or someone else, please tell me why I can’t see the video for these tutorials?

I cannot even see where the video is supposed to be, there is no placeholder or link to it, only the one sentence describing it.

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you
Jacques

P.S. I use Firefox v2

Jacques, update your Firefox, they are past version 3.5 now.

Corey, nice tidy tutorial, thanks. Please continue to use such riveting subjects in your images. Nice touch.

These tutorials are great, but very slow to load (if they load at all). I am using FF3.5, and it does not load. I have tried Google Chrome and the latest version of IE on multiple computers on two different networks. Still, no luck.

I just thought you should be aware.

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).
