    That’s pretty cool so far :) cant wait to see the 2nd part.

    But i guess the image looks pretty cool before the displacement. Of course i haven’t seen the trailer ;)

    If you clip the metal layer into the shape layer then merge them it saves you having to delete/hide the original two layers.

    @ Connor yes and no cos it wont retain the shape

    That movie was amazing (despite its terrible ratings). I can’t wait until the next part.

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.
