tut doubt

Hey folks

i'm learning the tut "Creating a Multi-Layered Ring effect", then when i've got at step "5", i had some problem, it tells us to "ctrl click" layer alpha1 at channels window, then go back to layer window and keep selected ring1 layer, but it doesnt work, cause i can't keep both layers selected, when i go to the apply lightning effects and change all the values to those mentioned at the tut, all i have back is a dark image, nothing alike to that one at the tut. Does anyoen can help me pls???

thx
:(

What do you mean keep both layers selected? The tutorial tells you to keep the selection from the Alpha 1 layer all throughout Step 5.

Once you have it selected go back into your layers palette and click on the ring1 layer (Make sure it is still selected).

Click on the ring1 layer but do not deselect or change the selection.

Thx for your attention, i've made it now. I was missing something along the path...

thx a lot
