Hello again I would also like to know how to make the Softwarebox... Mostly interested in, not how he did the 3d effect, more interesting to me is what colors he used for the filling of the box, maybe someone knows?

kindest regards

I like your glass avatar, storm. Sorry I can't help you make that box. One of the guru's will be around shortly. ;)

Come to think of it, I can make a box it you want to look at it straight on but somehow I really don't think that's what you had in mind. :D

Storm has pointed out that the actual effect is not really his concern, as much as deciding what colours to use.

Do this Storm, it'll make things like this much easier in the future...

Start out using a white to mid grey (50%) gradient, then simply apply the LEVELS filter to the parts and adjust the middle slider to the left or right until the shades are as light/dark as you want them to be.

Thanks Lee! :)

But the original is much better really!
You will notice it, if you have a real close look at it...
Not sure what among of Noise he used seems to be a really fine one...
Also his grey looks a little bit like a very fine Metal thought need some fine tuning tomorrow I think

Excellent work stOrM! ;)

Its wonderful to see that PS has 'hooked' another one... You're enthusiasm and dedication to working your way through all these tutes is fantastic. I can already see much improvement :}

Keep up the good work...

STORM, you should do as Mark suggested, but even better, use an Levels adjustment layer, so you can tweak the result, even disable, and adjust even more!

Hi :)

I will, can you please give me the shortcut for Level-Adjustments? Problem is that my Photoshop is different (not english version) its hard to translate or find Level adjustments then... but the shortcut will bring the right window to me...

What version is it/language are you speaking?

You can click on the black and white circle in your layers palette, and select the equivalent of levels...

If you've got a selection loaded, the adjustment layer will have mask, so only the selected area will be affected... VERY useful! :perfect:

I'd say the fourth one, first one after the separation line... you'll get a histogram...
