FULL VIDEO: http://www.tutvid.com/tutorials/photoshop/tutorials/convertToBW.php

This video was somehow automatically shortened by Youtube in Feb. of 2009. Instead of taking it down I decided to simply include a link to the full video on tutvid.com.

Creating Black and whites is a great way to simplify or shift focus in a photo. You have seen great black and white photos out there in Magazines and in galleries on the web, Black and whites are everywhere. We will learn just how to make great black and whites in a matter of minutes. We will start with the basic Desaturation of an image, learn why that is not-such-a-good way to create black and whites, and experiment with several different methods before settling with the best black and white conversion. After the conversion we will look at vignetting, tweaking the channels, and subtle image toning. All of that plus the usual load of little tips and tricks will all be in this video, watch, learn, enjoy!

Watch the HD version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XPj0XdbkuA&fmt=18

In this video I demonstrate the new features in Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended. Today I will be looking at the new 3D capabilities not found in the previous Creative Suite (CS3 Extended).

Features demonstrated:

O Converting 2D images to 3D shapes
- The new “3D” menu
- Conversion to 3D

O Working with 3D shapes
- Moving the 3D object
- Rotating the 3D object
- Scaling the 3D object

O Painting on 3D objects
- Using regular Photoshop tools eg. brush, dodge, smudge on 3D shapes
- Paint remains when rotating

O Editing a flat texture
- Painting on the flat texture of the object
- Exporting it onto the object

O 3D Advanced Workspace
- Lighting tools
- Materials
- Textures
- Other 3D tools

My thoughts on the 3D capabilities
I am very impressed with the 3D tools and how fast they are. I think it is amazing that I can use all the tools for 2D images on the 3D shape. I think editing the flat texture could do with a live preview as you are making changes whilst blind.

There is a good selection of shapes eg. sphere, cube. But one thing that disappoints me is there is no ability to create a custom shape with lines. They should have added that feature instead of making the pointless “hat” shape.

My thoughts on the program as a whole
The regular tools run incredibly fast when editing 2D images and run a lot faster than expected on 3D shapes. There are a few minor additions which will speed up productivity which is very good.

However, I feel very angry at Adobe as they say they have lots of new features powered by your graphics card. If you don’t have a good system then these are useless to you.

What Adobe have just added is something to make the faster computers faster. Not all tools work if you have a bad graphics card (that means me and my 72mb Unicorn :P).

I will demonstrate canvas rotation, panning, zooming and other OpenGL features when I get a new computer in December.

If you like the look of this 3D shape then you can download the improved high detail versions of it and other objects here: http://r0qwyg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pc3yBU3zqOjS-GgjK8GGnL3gbEjdNc_41JYfbIECKKDj3HsByGrYcpoSth-psoFACFABbThqwdKg/3D%20Objects.zip?download

All you need is Photoshop CS3 Extended or greater.

You’re probably seen the effect of making an everyday object appear to be painted or made of a strange material before. The effect is popular on adverts and creative websites like worth1000 but how is it done?

Well it’s all down to the displace filter. This prehistoric filter is very unhelpful to look at but digital expert Gavin Hoey http://www.gavtrain.com shows you how to use it and create amazing results
