They are very cool. I learned of them and many other things from the 'Photoshop 7 Wow' book which is an excellent read. I'll let you know when the tutorial is complete.

One can do amazing things. I was not aware of this (and many other things in PS, although I bought PS7 long time back and now upgraded to CS2). I worked with the follo0wing sites and tutorials: http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/displacement/displacement.htm http://www.daleglaser.com/art/PhotoShopTips/PSTipsSpec2D.html Thanks for making us aware of this technique.
