Here is my solution – and I promise to fiddle about prior to posting a question in the future -I’m saving a document each time I make a change – Curious if anyone has a more elegant solution.

Corey, this is great! However, when the tutorial in the initial small screen, it’s perfectly clear. Then when I put it on full screen, it gets fuzzy. Very hard to follow. This is true of the other tutorials I’ve done in this Layers Mag site. I know I’m missing stuff. Is there a way to clear it up?

Great tutorial. Right after following along and messing around with it, I went out to the mailbox, and there was a small Oakley catalog that looks like it used this technique on the cover. I’m going to use it on my next photo book. Thanks!

Hi there! Really love your tutorials! Eye openers and inspirational aswell. But I have a little question.
I want to add the modified picture from Illustrator to Photoshop. But, when I click, drag and place or copy paste it adds the picture, but not modified.
I also tried saving and placing it in photoshop, but that didn’t work either.
I might sound stupid, but I can’t get it done, could you perhaps explain how to get the modified picture from Illustrator to Photoshop?
Thanks in advance!
Ps: Sorry if the question sounds like gibberish, but English is not my first language.
