- You know I’m not exactly sure?
- Sorry it took so long to answer! Just click on the contour thumbnail in the layerstyles dialog box.
- Hi Swedane ~ Yes, for .jpg files you will have to convert them into patterns by opening each image then going to EDIT >> DEFINE PATTERN in the menu.

Hi Paul,The only thing that could cause that is the code in “Step #4 – Disabling Wordpress wpautop and wptexturize filters.”
Try removing those lines of code and see if the line breaks disappear.

Hi Adrian,In that case you will want to use the pure html versions of the columns and not the shortcodes.

The tutorial doesn’t actually state in Step 11 which layer(s) you apply the drop shadow etc. to – instead it just jumps straight into ‘Open up the Layers Styles…’. Otherwise, it is a good tutorial.

To Donna Dolorosa – you need to pay attention to the details that were given to you. Remeber you duplicated the text layer and in Step 11 it says to apply the blending options to the BOTTOM text layer. You have to follow the tutorials given exactly. Good luck on your next try.

How do you get the two .jpg files (smoky-texture.jpg and blurred-lights.jpg) to show up in the pattern folder?
I know where the plug-ins & other are located, I just can’t get them to show up.
I have Photoshop CS4, running on a Mac.
Thank you.

Love the effect!
I just had a question about Step 10 – the step with Bevel & Emboss>Contour. I can’t seem to find the contour that you used. I am assuming that makes the white on top.
Thanks for the great TUT!

Thank you for the close up ii did make the white a little bigger but not as big as yours. I did the “etc glass tut” and had the same thing just something I must of missed…Thanks for the quick response! I really enjoy your tuts!!!

This was a really great tutorial! I was just wondering, what if you wanted to color the text as in a clear red? Would that work?

Wow, such complicated looking stuff in just so few steps. Got the same result on this one too, following the described steps above. Now I am going to experiment with it.

Really like this tutorial. The glass effect is great and I like the frame. In step 10 I do not have the drop shadow contour in Photoshop 7. Is it possible that you could show me a close-up screenshot of the contour? Toda Tehillah

Thank you very much for sharing. I noticed when I went through the steps I did not have some of the contours that you asked to choose. Is there a way to get more contours for Photoshop?
