    I’m having trouble with this in CS3, when I create the adjustment layer, I cant change the color, I set it to any color and it will just switch back to either black or different shades of grey. Its extremely frustrating, have you heard of this problem with CS3 before?

    I’m using CS for the PC and it refuses to let me add a filter to my filled rectangle layer. Any advice?

    I have NEVER used CS3 before I got it today and I was able to follow every instruction and did complete a wonderful masterpiece thanks to this video!

    If you are a Windows user, to fill in the box grey you use Shift + F5.

  11. Márcio Guerra said on — May 17, 2008 @ 5:13 pm

    Nice one… yet again… For those in doubt, Shift+F5 or Shift+Delete does the same.

    Keep it up…

    I think this is a great tutorial, but I can’t get through it all. After the liquify effect is applied, there seems to be a commercial, and it never finishes the tutorial. How do I finish it?

    Hi, migz here
    firstly i would just like to say that all the advise, tips and methods are extremely awesome
    to the full extent of the word and I’d just like to thank everyone for the efforts the put into this site and all the help it offers.

    I’m a first year student to become a graphic designer one day (hopefully), and all these things are very helpful, and as much as i love it i cant always access it when I need or want to because of internet issues, so I’d just like to know if you guys (and ladies if any present) can suggest where i can find these tutorials in a text form so i can save it on my computer for later help and reference.

    thanx
    Migz d(”,)b

    Hi cool tutorial, love what you have done and i also created too but it look more realistic, instead of using a color fill i use for each image hue saturation with the orange color and it looks a lot better thanks

    i had a lot of fun playing with this effect .
    just out of curiosity, does anybody know if a tutorial on this website or others with a jell-like liquid effect? kind of like molten metal.

    thanks for the tutorial and great job as always

    Hi, how are you?
    I’m a beginner and have sony vegas editing soft and want to add fire effects and other 3d’s on my video titles.
    Do I need aditional software for special effects? Is there any free downloading sites to get those effects, please?

    Have a nice day,
    Peter.

  30. Taryn said on — December 5, 2008 @ 10:20 pm

    I am using CS2 and when I go to use the artistic filters near the end of the tutirial, they are unavailable to me (faded out). Little help?

  31. Josh said on — April 6, 2009 @ 8:20 pm

    For a REALLY awesome effect to further this, go into your channels and Crt click the blue and fill that selection with yellow. Then, shut off this new layer, and do the same with the green channel, filling it with orange. Adjust the blend mode as necessary.

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).
