Tell me if it works and if you find the tutorial lacking in some respect :)

Dude... they smashed his car!

I've seen tutorials that use this method, and I believe it is one of the better ones. Esp. because I tried to use the extract filter the other day and screwed it all up. Thank you for posting this, of course adding to memories.

[elli]

you have seen others? I didn't know there were any. Can you refer me?

[americanmutt]

Photoshop Support & About.com. Do you think those are similar?

I haven't seen either before!!! I learned it in uni actually. I skipped them, and I think my uni prof explained it far better.

You think I should define how a mask works before?

Which one is the extract filter?

that's actually pretty nifty

[elli]

it is!!! tell you remember where it's from ;)

[half_lit_world]

wot? have i seen this before? should i remember this? did we do that at uni? i have been using a similar way in the past, it was just more... umständlich ;D

I forgot his name... we had him for lik 2 days!!! he also did the coloring totorial with the curves and the pipettes... remember that?

And I simplified it... we used to do the ending a bit different.

Oh wow, that's a really nifty way to crop a picture, never seen it before.

I myself am addicted to Layer Masks and the Quick-Mask-Mode, but I'll definetly give this one a try!

Thanks!

[elli]

I think there is merit to each way..it always depends on the picture.
:)

have fun!

Just tried it and it's really, really cool.

I have a German version of Photoshop and first translated "Calculations" to "Bildberechnungen", instead of "Kanalberechnungen" and wondered why it didn't work. +snorts+
I always translate the terms wrong, so that's just me. ;)

But I guess your question was more if you translated correctly into English and not if everyone is as demented as me and not able to translate properly back into German. ;)

rofl!!! you could have asked!!! I googled like crazy to find the english terms and I'm still not sure on Tiefen und Mitteltöne!!!
