Smart Filters
In a post for my blog I wanted to stress how differently the CS3 course treated filters compared to how Steve uses them. My CS3 book does have a paragraph on Plastic Wrap, but what to me is that they also have a call-out box about Smart Filters. I use Smart Objects all the time, but had forgotten there was such a thing as Smart Filters. I am wondering why HotChiPs doesn't talk about these. Are they not very useful for the amount of memory they will take up? Just wanted to know.

Re: Smart Filters
I did write a whole "book" about Smart Objects, which I published for the iPad through Apple's iBooks Store:

http://www.pocketphotoshop.net

I was planning to adapt it for other platforms, but the response was so limited I decided it would be a waste of time to do so. If there was a demand I'd be happy to work out a different way of publishing it!

Re: Smart Filters
Unfortunately, I don't have an iPad or I would be on this like a cat in a basket of laundry fresh out of the dryer.

I just found on the CD Rom included with the book that you had a deleted page on Smart Filters. Why did you decide to delete this page?

I have managed to print the page Would it be possible for you to send me the file to work on?

Re: Smart Filters
I deleted the page because every time I update the book I have to cover the new features and refresh some of the old stuff, so something has to go!

Can you remind me what the image on that page is showing?

It looks like you turned Arnold Schwarzenegger into the Terminator.

I don't seem to have it any more... but it was nothing more than a photograph of Arnie, you can use any starting image!

Re: Smart Filters
It turns out that while the tutorial was deleted out of the 6th edition, the image was not deleted off the CD. I have both! Thanks, Steve!
