    great tutorial. thanks..i always wondered what “hard light” was used for. I never found a use for it.

    Thanks for the tutorial Corey, another great one. I have used a picture of the theatre I perform in to add several images from my 365 day project of ‘Derek’s Beard’. This image is for the milestone of 100 days and I have four different vanishing points on it. Made easy with your help of course.

    I guess I am doing something wrong. When I copy and paste my picture and click on vanishing point, I get my grid, but my pasted picture will not move. Please help!

Document Your Happy Accidents

Sometimes our best creations happen by pure experimentation and accident. Sitting in front of a Photoshop file, you are 40 History States in, and then it happens…magic! You really want to be able to get back to that moment. To do so, make sure that you turn on the History Log checkbox in the General Preferences (Photoshop>Preferences>General [PC: Edit>Preferences>General]). You can save the information as metadata, as a separate text file, or both!
