Hi!
Do you know which version of Ps I need to do this kind of tutorial?
Can I use cs3 or I need cs4?
Thanks!

It doesn’t even look all that hard to make, but it looks great.
( )Tomasz October 21st

Tomasz has some great techniques in this tutorial. He’s got loads of techniques he’s built up over the years and I’m really excited to have him contributing to the site. Great job Tomasz!
I look forward to the next one. We’ll have another pro technique workflow from Tomasz next month as well for Psd Plus members.

Wow that’s amazing. Nice tut.
I hope this comment shows up, since my comments on the pillow post aren’t :\
( )student 011 October 21st
yeah, I agree. lots of things look simple, but when it actually comes to doing it…it’s not. that’s the genius in Opasinski, he makes it look like it’s no big deal. I bet he gets big bucks for making things look like “easy.” well deserved!!!

Looks worth a tuts membership, th only thing that looks dodgy is the smoke, it’s too transparent in my opinion, if you know what i mean.
Either way this looks good
Wish I had plus membership.
( )emmanuel Umukoro October 21st

Looks awesome! Once I start work next week I’ll have to subscribe for a few months to see what I’ve been missing out on!
( )Donald October 21st
It looks pretty real, and it works simply great.
( )Nicholas Cardot October 21st
I think this effect looks very realistic and I can’t wait to try it out on some buildings…like the building I work in. That would be a lot of fun.
