Hi ...

... and welcome to the forum :)

Sadly this was taken away in PSE5 and its loss has upset quite a lot of people, there are workarounds but it was much easier when you didn't need them ..

Which leason are you doing and I will try to help you out ... :)

Do you have to have PSE 5 to download some of the things from Adobe Exchange? I wanted to do the filmstrip but I have 3. Will it work?

Thanks

I think that is the one. It is whatever is in the downloads of adobe exchange. Will PS3 do it?

Hi Donna ...

There are hundreds of downloads at the Adobe Exchange and without knowing which one it is ... then its vitually impossible to say :(

Hi ...

Sadly Adobe removed the ability to uncheck global light in PSE5 so that means that all shadows follow the same direction .. try this as a workaround:

Create your two layers and apply the inner shadow as Matt does in the tutorial
Then go to the layers palette, click on the top layer and do Layer>Simplify Layer.
Next do Image>Rotate>Layer 180 degrees
Then change the blend mode of the top layer to multiply

That should now work OK and you will be able to continue with the tutorial :)

Do let us know how you go on with it ...

Wendy,
Thanks for your help, here is what I did.
layers>inner shadows, Light or High, opacity at 100%
Duplicate
d. click on to open style settings
choose Bevel>up>5 pixels
merge (control E)
normal>multiply
Some how this worked went back to the rest of the bonus lesson, looks fine.
Thanks
P.S. I think I got all the steps.
