  1. I have a question. When I try to activate the Rotate camera and then try to rotate the image I get this message: "Could not complete your request because it only works with OpenGL enabled document windows". What does it mean and what should I do? And also thank you for your tutorials, David! You rock! ^^

  2. I have always been fairly good with computers, building my own systems etc, programming, scripting, web deisgn etc but i've never been able to get my head around photoshop! Your tutorials are really helping me to get to grips with it so far and i'm enjoying watching them too! thank you very much for the time you have taken to make this series..
