I have a problem, the way you get the layers and selection copy in one move is killing me. I don't think you told me everything. so if you could just tell me what your secret was it would be greatly appreciated For Mac please. short cuts don't all work... Yes I have a list of all Mac and PC shortcuts for CS4

@Baxn I'm not sure what part of the tutorial that you are referring to.. Are you talking about when I am duplicating the red strips to create the rainbow effect? If so, I am holding down ALT (option) and dragging. You can hold down SHIFT at the same time to constrain the direction that you are dragging to.

Awesome thanks a lot dude, I was looking for a way of doing the starbust effect for a flyer I'm designing for a burlesque show, perfect :)

@moosecow3 You can do this manually on photoshop changing the opacity e.c.t *would tae forever though, or simply buy a distorted font.. there is Dafont.com I personally dont reccomend that or you can buy them off sites.. not sure what price they are..

Aces. Discovered about 10 things I'd been looking for for ages!

You might be able to help with something I'm struggling with.. I'm making retro posters with a screen print feel. I need a way to erode text in Photoshop so it looks misprinted? Kinda like a rubber stamp effect. Hope you can help!

[Zlyzer]

THANK YOU. Finally I know how to do those stripes!

[M0bsine]
