Multilayered rings

In the multi layered tutorial it says that i need to select the bevel texture, but it isnt there, i only see the blue, red, green, alpha 1 and 2 and the ring 1 transparancy,
whats wrong??

you are looking at the "channels" pallet....

you wont find a "bevel texture" in there.

Read a little more carefully.... you missed something.

If you say so.

4.
With the layer selected click on your channels tab and click on the "save selection as channel" button. It should be the second one going left to right at the bottom of your channels window. You should now see a new channel and by default it should be called Alpha 1. Click on this channel and then drag it into the "create new channel" button to duplicate it. This channel should be called Alpha 2 by default. Rename this channel to bevel. Once you have renamed the channel to bevel go to Filter/Blur/Guassian Blur and choose a value of 8. Then Guassian Blur it again with a value of 5, and one more time with a value of 1. Now hit Ctrl+Shift+I to invert the selection. Hit your delete key to get rid of any unwanted jaggies. Hit Ctrl+D to deselect the bevel channel. You should have a nice smooth ring now.


You are making a new "alpha channel" and naming it bevel. That would be the one I am referring to ;)

Hope that helps...

He thanks!!

Now i run into another problem, i have PS 7 and if i select the thick layer and i need to do show/guides and the other one, there not available to choose, do i need to select something??
