Photoshop Beginner Tips: File Organization

02/11/2009 Jake Mize 6 Comments

If most of you are like me, your photoshop files are a mess. We have layer upon layer with no specific name. Our files are filled with layers called “shape 42″ and “Vector Smart Object 3″. Sure we may know that “layer 47″ is the green fade that overlays our twitter bird but what about those of us that work in a corporate environment where multiple people may work on a single photoshop file? Or what about that photoshop file you worked on for a client 2 years ago and they want that weird little update, are you going to remember what those unnamed layers are? Organization is key!

Here are a couple of tips when trying to organize your photoshop file.

How to create 3D abstract circles in Photoshop CS4

01/12/2008 Francesco Mugnai 41 Comments

This is the first of a new series of tutorials about Photoshop CS4 and its new features.
We will create abstract circles in real 3D. To complete this tutorial you need Photoshop CS4 (…), a good graphic card and 5 minutes.
The effect i want to recreate is the typical style of James White but in “3D mode” and in a quickest way.

The ball created in that tutorial is amazing but has two disadvantages:

1) You have to complete 15 steps to obtain a good result and you have to change a lot of blending modes.
2) The final image is flat. A normal 2D layer.

With my tutorial you’ll be able toÂ achieve the same effect but in 5 steps,Â withoutÂ playingÂ with the blending options and the result will be a REAL 3D layer.

So…we can start.
