    I’m yet to find a bad tutorial of yours. Thanks again, Corey.

    Corey, i think you may well be the first person to find something useful to do with the dissolve blend mode :P But seriously, what a great idea to get particle effects !

  7. vu tran said on — February 24, 2009 @ 11:15 am

    i got to say this. this is a badazz tutorial on Photoshop. I always wanted to do some kinds of ignited or fire effect. I know the settings now. Thank you very much. Corey.

    I have only recently found your website. Of all the tutorial websites that I have seen, this has to be one of the best! I try and visit this site at least once a day, as I find all the tips and pointers really useful! Keep up the brilliant work!

    that was an awesome tutorial
    thanks

  10. Zack said on — February 25, 2009 @ 9:26 am

    Way to rock the dissolve mode. I rarely see anyone utilize it and after recreating the tutorial myself, that last step totally sells this effect. That was a great last addition to this effect. Thank you!

    Thanks for the fantastic effect. How about making a asteroid falling down?!

  19. Me said on — March 21, 2009 @ 11:27 am

    Hi, I think your tutorials are great BUT I cannot watch this one because a magazine ad comes in the first third of the tut. The tutorial does NOT resume after the ad. Why is this????

  20. Art said on — March 22, 2009 @ 4:30 pm

  21. NaChoboy said on — March 23, 2009 @ 5:43 pm

    Thanks, that was a great tutorial

  22. Bonehead said on — March 25, 2009 @ 12:15 am

    Still too fast for me. What can I say; I’m a Bonehead! I think part of it is I am using Windows and the photoshop interface is a little different. The tutorials are awesome though. I may get lost, but I still pick up tidbits that will be helpful. Thank you for all the great tutorials.

  23. Kakaff said on — March 25, 2009 @ 3:37 pm

    I’m using photoshop cs4 extended and i cant seem to find the preset you used… i only got chrome satin….

    thanks again

  25. Simon Page said on — March 31, 2009 @ 1:56 pm

    Can you create these on a podcast feed?

  26. Asiddiqui said on — April 2, 2009 @ 4:12 pm

    Great Work, Corey. You are the best.

  27. filmstars said on — April 3, 2009 @ 9:26 am

    Keep up this great resource.

  28. Tim Green said on — April 6, 2009 @ 10:25 pm

    How do you get the Style Preset Chrome if you do not have it in your styles list?

  29. photo retouching said on — April 23, 2009 @ 3:38 am

    With providing links to your tutorials to a film editor friend of mine, I have persuaded him the merit of photoshop over applications such as “motion”. He is now doing a lot of his designing in photoshop and regularly tells me he has far greater control over his final image than before! The power of “Mr Corey”!

  30. Jonathan said on — April 25, 2009 @ 1:39 pm

    very awesome !! good tip, smart way to create the sparkling effect

  31. Athavan said on — April 27, 2009 @ 9:53 am

  34. Neer said on — May 11, 2009 @ 7:57 am

    Great lesson, but I cant find the chrome style. I know its on my side but I wondering how I could fix this problem.

  35. JACK said on — May 22, 2009 @ 1:07 pm

    hey anyone know where i can get the chrome setting? i cant find it in the styles bit.
    thanks

  36. Lunatic said on — May 29, 2009 @ 7:13 pm

    Corey you’re the best!

    Neer – I haven’t got it either but I found out the way to make a some kind of chrome by my self :) I want to say is: Combine gradient overlay in layer styles with plastic warp filter and curves. :)

  37. randomn said on — October 2, 2009 @ 10:46 pm

    i have cs4, i haven’t even got half of the presets that you have, where did you get them from?

Viewing and Basking in your Image

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.
