Try using Sharpen (found in Effects > Photo) I have just tried it on a setting of 15 and it looks somewhat better.

Really nice colours and shine Pixey what a nice easy on the eye image. Top work.

Soda with ice cubes is very good Helen, looks great larger the cubes and the can look very detailed. top work

Top result dug - looks good enough to drink. Heres mine with a shiny frame surround. Great tut Yellowman.

Very well written and explained Sir. This is bookmarked for later. Thanks for sharing

Cheers Skullbonz. It has already had the Welshblue seal of approval.(I e-mailed it to him) I have had it on my hard drive for almost a month before I decided to upload it today

Cheers Sasha, I'm pleased with the photo-manip, I don't really do many of them, but pleased that you like it. The sig is my attempt at emulating the King on here And with that in mind - A perfect opportunity to post on page #1 a gun barrel that was made by a tut that Welshblue did for me.

Mercy filling station is very impressive, great detail and textures almost like a real photograph. Top work.

The theme this week is – Soda Can. And has been chosen by – Helen. This week you are invited to create a sig based on a soda can. This Barrel tutorial by Skullbonz will help you with the basic shape.

I'm sure the up / down & enter method would be better than hitting the wrong effect I use that method all the time because I have a massive amount of plug ins in some of the sub categories. That is the only work around I know of.

There is a way - Open the effects menu and position your cursor on the sub menu so it opens the list of plug ins in there, then use your up down arrows on your keyboard to select the effect you want, then press enter on your keyboard Edit - When I say sub menu I mean something like Effects > Photo or Effects > Object etc...

I will challenge you with my Welshblue inspired sig

@ Welshblue - Cheers mate, I'm pretty pleased with the end result of the photo manip. I have changed the sig slightly to add a little more shape to it. For the matal effect I used a gradient on a negation layer for each part and then colour balance to make some parts golden. I did play with blend modes on the overlap part, I think it looks better now. @ Daniels - Cheers sir, got to admit I either use too little drop shadow or I go for overkill - I'm sure there is a happy balance, I just can't find it @ Helen, Inspiration from one of the best is always a good thing Thanks for your comment. @dug - Many thanks for the visit and comment too, glad you like them. @ Barbieq - Thank you, it took me a long time to make, but the result is worth it (I think) Modified the sig slightly to make it less tube like.

Thank you Barbieq, If a rat darted out I would be right up that ladder I am pleased with the overall ambience of the finished product though. Thanks Helen. It was one of those kind of views that begged to be captured. I only thought of adding the barrels after looking at the one doughty made. New one on page #1 while I am here again
