Filter Gallery ( and I assume smart blur filter too ) are greyed out when you work in 16bit mode. You can only use them and they only show up in 8bit mode. 😉
Started with Photoshop 7 but only really started seriously trying to learn in the last couple of years. I am getting there slowly and I really find your tutorials helpful
Like you, I started with the original release - I got a free copy by buying a scanner! Used Photoshop continuously up to just before the release of CS and then didn't touch it for many years. When I started again in 2018, I couldn't believe how much had changed. Basically, I had to completely relearn it. I mean, when I stopped using Photoshop, they had only recently introduced layers!
My first was CS2, but... I still learn new things all the time thanks to channels like yours. (Or at least easier/better/more effecient ways to do them) Thanks.
Cool tutorial... Don't supose you have any tips on lining up a reflection made to a car with a 3/4 angle... Mine are coming out ok but didn't know if there's any tips you have? Cheers
My first photoshop at college was Photoshop 3 you had to wait for an eternity for it to do anything! Then I think I had photoshop 5 on my first home desktop Power Macintosh G3 with 100mb zip discs / drive!
Unlike you, I'm a relative newbie. I started using PS in one of the early CC versions in 2015. If you want some wind/breeze distortion in your puddle, you might want to try using the wave filter on top of it
Colin, I was hoping you'd have tried to deal at least a wee bit with true reflections, as in you would not see the hedge or sea reflected from behind the car because the angles would be wrong. Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection sort of thing. The least you'd need to do would be to cut out the car with the reflection showing just sky behind it. Perhaps lower the top of the seat and take out the far side A pillar and the took of the boot/trunk. It can get pretty tricky, so it is usually best to obscure the top of the reflection as you did later in the tutorial. Bert Monroy would probably model the scene as a side view in Illustrator work out the exact angles and what would be visible. I remember him saying he did something like that with his Times Square illustration. I have always been a PC kind of a guy, so I started with Version 4.0. (I used Delux Paint on an Amiga 1000 prior to that) I'm impressed that you still have your floppy installation disks.
Colin, Wish you would show the Before and After image for a few seconds at the end before you start blabbering about smashing the Like Button. We are here to be educated and wowed , not to be exposed to your site's needs.
Hi Colin....I want to consult you about my work in photoshop, I need to refine my skills and you are the best person for it. For example... I take a an old passport photo etc of some family member, use some software to enlarge it, add skin texture, replace eyes if needed etc etc. This is were you can help me with.....how to add a partial male or female body to that face from the neck down, best way to add clothing using free transform, how to go about drop shadows from clothing or jewelry, and most important...shoulders width in proportion to the head ratio. I think that could be a great tutorial. If you think this this is too much, just ignore it, and sorry to bother you. Thanks
Cool video for today👍👍👍👍
First! Great vid! Very useful tips!
PhotoShop 7 was my first. Thank you for all your tips over the years.
brian willert you are welcome!
U look scary
Good techniques, will come in handy in the future!
I am curious why your smart blur filter and also your filter gallery is grayed out?

As dunnymonster correctly said, 16-bit mode FGallery won't work. Smart Blur works in 16-bit, but doesn't work on a layer mask.

This wasn't supposed to be an advanced reflections tut.
