Corey shows you how to make a new photo look damaged by blending in some unusual textures.
Use Photoshop’s new 3D tools to create some dazzling background effects.
When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.

i followed all the steps but my brush won’t paint, do you have any idea what i’m doing wrong?

Check your brush opacity and blending mode and you must paint with white otherwise it won’t work

Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. I just needed to know how to do masking in general for a project I’m currently working on and your tutorial was absolutely perfect! Thank you!

At one point, when you said it was as if the scattering was making the image appear to piece itself together, I immediately thought of the T2 scene when the T1000 broke into chunks and reformed because of the heat nearby. It would be interesting to see a Part 2 to this tutorial will blob shapes rather than blocks, as if the images was forming together like a T1000. Awesome tutorial though.
