ok. First Question: What happened to the "lighting effects" option in filter>render for CS5? its in that menu in older PS versions. is there a easier way to do background lighting effects?

its still there in mine

I only have: clouds, difference clouds, fibers, and lens flair.

EDIT I Figured it out. macs automatically run CS5 in 64 bit mode vs.32 bit. If anybody else needs help see the article below to easily run CS5 in 32bit mode to be able to use these effects.

How to run CS5 in 32bit mode

Well, since I have literally never used PS, I am going to need lots of help. Let me just go ahead and apologize in advance

First order of business: Bookmark Deviant art. You can access ton and tons of resources and tutorials there. I will give you this link here to get you started. Layers threw me of for a bit when I first started out Most of all just experiment with it have fun and if you accidentally make something cool, write down what you did right away!, cause you will forget it when your first starting out. Anyway here is a link :

DC's videos helped me make 100% of the monkeys

I, for one, would love to see a vid or two on how to do this. I am the tyoe of guy that learns better from seeing and doing, rather than reading.

Planning to learn something here lol

why not start with this for the couple that mentioned being completely new to PS

lesson1 beginners

Sweet!! I'll check it out. Thanks!

Awesome getting good already

Tip: save your psd often if youre working on something ongoing.
I just had my PS crash last night and lost a total of three days changes to two psds and one brand new psd. Had them open since Wednesday night and was adding/changing things and poof, all work gone
