    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.

    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

RGB Flesh Tones: Getting The “Red” Out

If you’re working on an RGB image and you’ve done your basic color correction but the flesh tone in your image still seems too red (a common problem), here’s a tip to fix it fast. First, select the flesh tone areas in your image (using the Lasso tool, etc.). Add a slight feather by going under the Select menu and choosing Feather. Enter a 1-pixel feather for low-res images; 3-5 pixels for high-res images. Go under the Image menu, under Adjustments, and choose Hue/Saturation. From the Edit pop-up menu, choose Reds. Now lower the Saturation slider until your skin tones look more natural and click OK.
