This looks so cool but I've only got photoshop 8 and it doesn't let you edit the curves like that anymore which really sucks.

Are you sure it's Photoshop 8 (which is actually called Photoshop CS)? If you are using Photoshop *Elements* 8, then that is different. Unfortunately it doesn't let you edit curves like this.

If you wanted, you could try the free program "GIMP", which does work like this and I have another video tutorial for that :)

@dimage1985 You can download a package that will allow you to use curves in PSE 8. Just search google for it it's easy to install

Thanks so much! This video is awesome! I was in school for photography, and learned very quickly that once a photographer figures out a really great style or technique, they will take it to the grave with them. No one ever helped me, but this video is fantastic! Thank you!!
