Corey has a cool trick for creating a flare brush and see how one effect can lead to another.
See how you can add some subtle touches to give that green screen studio shot the Hollywood treatment.
Corey shows how to create reflective holiday ornaments using 3D in Photoshop.
This week Corey has a cool new trick for using 3D reflections in a rather creative way!
If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.
Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).

Nice tutorial, thanks again. Unfortunately I do not have a “textures” folder in my presets. All of the other folders are there, but no textures. I have a german PS CS4 btw.

Always a cracking tutorial, thank you for all you have taught me and all you will, without doubt, teach me in the future.

Every time that I try this, the type goes inside the circle shape. I have CS3, does the type only go outside the circle if you have CS4?

Nice tutorial. I was wondering, how did you make the CS4 background with that custom honeycomb texture?

Once again, thank you.
All these things look so simple, but when you don’t know how to do them, they are far from it. I’ve bookmarked your site and I’ll be back!

Hi Corey,
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial on text. I love learning psp and have been learning what I can for almost a year now. There is so much I want to learn and I am thrilled I found your site. These tutorials are a great help. I am looking forward to your next one. Thanks again!

This is the best tutorial I know about “text on a path” . It goes far beyound the usual first steps and explains how you can get words righly positioned around a circle. The next step would be to type a 3 D text on a Sphere. It is relatively easy to do with a free 3D software like Google SketchUp, but it seems a lot more complicated with Photoshop. The last step would be to animate the 3D text around the sphere using Flash.
