I see these plug ins for photo shop for textures and a program called light…something, how do you use them, add them for a project? The second question does anyone know of cool plug ins for photoshop? I am really interested in the light…plug in I can’t recall the name.. lightroom..something does anyone know what I am talking about and what is it used for. Sorry one more question…I see tutorials for photoshop 7 and photoshop cs…I have cs2 could I still use these tutorials to learn or has cs 2 changed so much? Thanks everybody
OK, lots of questions but I like to see that you are curious…
Question 1: The program you are talking about is Photoshop Lightroom, or it could be LightWave, they both do different things… LightWave is a plug in, and Lightroom is an actual program you can use for 3D animation. I assume you mean Lightroom. To add LightWave to your system or photoshop, you’d have to double click the icon once you download it from the internet, and your computer will install it for you. If that doesn’t work (it means the program doesn’t come with an automatic installer) then the website you downloaded it from should have directions on how to install it manually.
Question 2: Cool plugins for photoshop? Right here:

AND: What is Lightroom? Lightroom is basically a tool for professional photographers, and those who take a lot of photos. What they can do with Lightroom is such things like adjust, fix, and present large quantities of photographs at a time with minimal time spent at the computer. If you are a photographer, you don’t want to spend huge amounts of time preparing and adjusting one photo at a time, and saving it just so you can burn a CD and give them to your client. It can take ALOT of time if you take 1,000 photos for say, a wedding.
Question 3: Which tutorials? Stick to CS or CS2 tutorials. DON’T USE PHOTOSHOP 7 TUTORIALS. The features and menus are too different and old, you’ll get pretty frustrated. Don’t use CS3 tutorials either, you’ll pull your hair out when you see how much has changed.
When you use tutorials for different versions, you’ll notice that menu options change and you’ll have to click on different areas to get to certain places that weren’t in that particular place in the past versions.
