A long-desired feature from other leading digital painting tools is the Rotate View tool, which allows you to rotate the document canvas to make otherwise uncomfortable strokes with a digitized art tablet perfectly natural. Press the R key or click-and-hold the Hand tool at the bottom of the Toolbox and select the Rotate View tool. Click-and-drag on the document until you reach your desired placement. For precision and consistency, you can also enter rotation numerically in the Rotation Angle field in the Options Bar. Click Reset View in the Options Bar, or double-click the Rotate View tool in the Toolbox, to return to normal orientation.

Corey shares some cool Hollywood graphic effects inspired by a recent movie trailer.
Corey demonstrates how you can create multidimensional text from a single text layer.
Corey shows you how to create a lightning brush and use it to create interesting effects.
This week Corey shows you how to combine two images into an interesting composite.
The preview in the Color Range dialog shows the entire image by default, which can make it hard to judge the potential selection mask if you’re trying to select only small areas. The solution is to first create a selection around the area on which you want to work before you choose Select>Color Range. Once you do, the preview in the dialog will only show what you have pre-selected.

Is this available in Photoshop CS3? My Hand tool doesn’t appear to have any options other than Zoom with the Ctrl and Alt keys, and the R key is assigned to Blur/Sharpen/Smudge.
