Where’s The 3D Transform Filter?
You can kill a lot of otherwise productive time searching for the 3D Transform filter that’s been in Photoshop for years. That’s because—it ain’t there. It no longer installs when you install Photoshop, but Adobe thought that somebody, somewhere, might want to use it for something, so even though it doesn’t install, you can find it in the Goodies folder on the Photoshop CS Resources and Extras disc. Just drag it into Photoshop’s Filters folder inside the Plug-Ins folder to get it back in your Filter menu (under Render).

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.

The 3D Transform filter is no longer installed with the default installation of Photoshop CS, however, it is still available on the Photoshop CD. To install it, go to your original installation CD (for the Creative Suite, this is the “Resources and Extras” CD. Browse to: Goodies\Photoshop CS\Optional Plug-Ins\Filters on the CD and copy the “3D Transform.8BF” file into X:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Filters where “X” is the drive letter where Photoshop is installed. You will need to close and reopen Photoshop for the filter to become available. Then you should find the filter under Filter > Render> 3D Transform.
