[*][b]Get your 3D Transform filter back[/b]
[list]
[*]Ever wonder where that 3D Transform filter went? Adobe took it out with the newer releases of Photoshop. Adobe was nice enough to keep the filter on the install disc\'s though. Just pop in your Photoshop Resources and Extras disc, navigate to the \"goodies\" folder and find the 3D Transform and move it to your filters folder where you installed Photoshop.
