MAKE MORE TUTS
Can anyone help me?
I am using Photoshop CS 3, and I select the patch tool and basically drag from the start of the arrow to the end of the arrrow, but it just tries to move the box down… and nothing happens 
. Patch tool is definitely selected and I’m using the left mouse button… if anyone has any ideas, please help? 
This is an awesome tutorial, thanks so much!
many many thanks for this cool & handy tutorial
PS: more tuts pleace
you got that “magic touch”
Absolutely Awesome! You guys are great!
Nice and simple
great……
looking for more…
Interesting tutorial and good special effect. I experimented with it and found that feathering the selection a bit (say, 10 pixels) can result in an interesting 3D effect, especially for very bold display fonts.
owww realy awesome
wow…So Great!!!!
Simple yet very sophisticated design. Thanks for the tutorial!
it’s that last step that makes the simple technique so effective! Props!
I don’t get ‘hold the left mouse and drag down with patch tool’. When I try to drag it down, the selection box is just moving along. Nothing happened.
Same happened to me but I figured out: Make selection – Right click – Use patch as source – Now you drag
I´m using CS5 and i had the same problem , but then i realized that i didnt had all the layers merged, so if you are having any problem try to merge all layers.
Nice tut but the patch tool doesnt work for me… I mean Im doing exactly as it says when when I select it anddrag it nothing happens :S anyone knows?? Im using photoshop cs3
Woow! excelent! thank you
Thank you for insipiring tut, but we want more…. we want more…
amazing… thank you for best tutor
Really easy and helpful. You should explain all the nice effects you have in your typography examples
i have the same problem when i drag it down,
You just need to unlock the background to this for work, After merge ALL the layers go to: Layer > new > background from layer. And then tray again selecting the area and drag it with the patch tool. (you can see that the square is divided in two) be cool, this is what happen when it works.
sorry for my bad english
hope u can solve this problem
byee
Thank you! As a programmer, I’ve been aparted from desing stuff, but I actually could do it! Now, I’m going to do it again, and again, until I become an multi-colored effect expert
I bet you my soul that you followed this tutorial and wrote your name in your design.
(Sorry for my miserable english)
Thanx for great, simple tutorial!
