Mark says: October 14, 2009 at 5:13 am And in creating the texture for the 4th ellipse, probably should let beginners know they will need to rasterize the layer before they can apply the filter. Also, in Photoshop CS3, the rough pastels filter isnt under Texture in the filters, but rather under Artistic. Cant speak for other versions. Reply

Johnson Koh says: October 14, 2009 at 5:50 pm Thanks Mark for the pointers. Will be adding the amendments into the tutorial.

Mark says: October 14, 2009 at 4:29 am The step where you add the third ellipse the color is wrong. #1a1a1a is darker, and the one shown is lighter than the first two. Reply
