    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!

    Thank you Corey – a very useful tut!

Adding Keywords to Multiple files

In Bridge, you can add keywords to images to make searching for pictures a little less cumbersome. You don’t, however, want the process to become tedious as well. By either Command-clicking (PC: Ctrl-clicking) or Shift-clicking on images, you can select multiple files inside Bridge. Once you have the files selected, you can go to the Keywords panel and turn on any keyword you like. This will apply the keyword to all of the files that you have selected. It takes away a little bit of the pain of categorization, but just a little.
