Selection problems with Glass: Refraction
For the life of me I could not get step two to work for me. I could load up the vase just fine, but once I switched to the Elliptical Marquee tool and tried pressing ctrl+alt, Photoshop wanted to make a copy of the vase. Since the point of this step was simply to select the bowl portion of the vase, I switched to the pen tool and made my selection that way. Below is the screenshot of the completed lesson.

Well, that's most interesting. That tutorial has been in the book for all eight editions, and you're the first person to notice that I got the shortcuts wrong - it should of course be Shift Alt, not Ctrl Alt. Oops! |

Re: Selection problems with Glass: Refraction
It's OK, I'm glad to know it wasn't me. Oh my, I just found that back in Natural Selection you mention this technique on p. 13, as part of making the lozenge shape. If my mind wasn't such a sieve these days, maybe I would have remembered this. Perhaps that's why no one told you about this error before. They all must have better memories than I do. -Sara _________________ I'm still learning. |
