Thanks, Dave! Liked the integration with Illustrator, but frankly just enjoyed watching how you use the mouse and hearing key commands to get more done faster. I’d forgotten about Command-J to duplicate, didn’t know about the presets for Highlights, Midtones, and Shadows in the color range selection, and never realized I could drag through layers to hide them (was always clicking one at a time). Much appreciated.

All f a sudden, I can’t get the video tutorials on this site and also on the Planet Photoshop site to play. Have been watching them for years, but now I can’t even get the ones that I was able to watch last week to play. Using a Mac OS 10.5.6 and Safari. Have also gone to the Adobe site and did a re-install of the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Help

I had the same problem with my Flash Player. When I updated my system software, Flash would only work on certain things in Safari.
Resolved it by using FIREFOX. Don’t know why, but it works.

I don’t have illustrator but managed to follow the photoshop bits to create this image. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dereksbeard/3249006470/

I remember you from the lessons in Photoshop Elements . I think you are the greatest. I like everything that you teach.

Hi – just watched this tutorial and loved it but there is a much simpler way > sorry!
Create a selection > in the Paths palette at the bottom select button Make work path from selection > this creates a path of your selection (same as Live trace in illus) > then Edit > Define custom shape. simple!! love it, will make use of this handy new skill.
