Looking good. is that a new action from Panos?

[AngelicKim]

Brent, there is a thread named 3D Cube. It started about the regular cube tutorial and ended up with Panos making a new action. Here (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15878&page=8&highlight=cube) is a link to the thread. The link goes to the page that has Panos' example and the link to download.

BTW, I see you changed your quote again.:D

[AngelicKim]

I should add this is the Panos Cube for purchase. The Rubik's Cube is the free one.

Kim,

Great job on the cube. Cute Yorkie.:) :)

[Panos]

Nice one Yorkie!

For best results make sure the original images' size is 1500px by 1500px. There is a section in the PDF manual that shows how to use the crop tool to do this.

At your service.

Kim,
nice one, using Panos's Cube.
One small suggestion, if you merge down ( the cube with the shadow) and use Control T you can make the edges more vertical. Have added one I did as a test, it's not as appealing as Yorkie but shows the edges straightened.
Kev:) :) :)

LOL KEV, YOU READ MY THOUGHTS!!!

I saw the excellent cube you sent me via email and then I noticed the change in the perspective you made.
I was about to post a message showing this tip!

A second transformation tip:
Having merged all cube layers (but the canvas) Press Control+T (Mac: Command+T), hold down CONTROL+ALT+SHIFT (COMMAND+OPTION+SHIFT in Mac ?) and drag the lower left transformation handle outwards, to change the overall perspective to preference.

I'll check it out. I bought the film machine last time and it is super cool. I don't use that stuff much, but like to support Panos so he can keep creating stuff. Panos is in for big times ahead. Gonna soar to the top of the world. Pretty soon Matt, Dave and Scott will be calling him sir :D

Panos,
thanks for endorsing my tip and a Big Thank You for your tip.
Once again you share your skill and knowledge with us.
Kev:) :) :)

Brent,
couldn't agree more.
I think Pano's is great!!!

Those cubes are great!!! I could never do one on my own. One side always seemed distorted! Panos is terrific!

Kev, I love the puzzle touch you added to yours! You always have such great touches in your work!! Beautiful!

[kevq]

Colleen,
pleased you like it. The puzzle effect is one of the actions in Panos's cube actions.
Here's another I've done following the tip in his post.

Ahhh, not even close! ROFL!
I adore their passion for Photoshop and the fact that they spice up their tutes with humorous elements.

And, at last, I've found a perfect treatment for those days when I am not in the right mood: I'm watching Matt's steam effect tutorial!!!!

[AngelicKim]

Thanks for the tips Kev and Panos. How come my puzzle pieces have more of a shiny shadow than looking like a puzzle like Kev's.

Panos, my original was larger than than 1500x1500 but I cropped by inches instead of pixels at 7x7. I will do it by pixels next time. I read the suggested pixels but forgot about them after I cropped. I used some old photos taken with a Kodak 4.0 instead of some taken with my Canon 6.3. So usually that conversion isn't an issue. Will have to remember that next time I use the older photos.

That is sooo cute! Had to try my own so I could join your "Yorkie".

Norma,

Kev:) :) :)

[nkeevers]

Thanks Kev!

Norma,

Your Yorkie is a cutie! My parents' puppy Annie (she's in my gallery) has a puppy friend named Minnie that is a teacup Yorkie. Annie loves to play with her "friend" Minnie:) :)
