First post and a puzzle in a Keeper tutorial

This is my first post here and is caused by a question from the glass globe tutorial in the first part of the sessions that can be downloaded from above addy. When you get to page 5 it says oh it looks dusty and scratched. Up to that point it hadnt bothered me so I went to fix it but no directions how to in the tut. I have tried every way I can find to fix it including many different blurs and redoing some steps different ways. Im pretty much obsessed with learning how to do the fix and it just nags at me. If you have a idea what the right way to do it me and my obsession would greatly appreciate it. ;\

It would help us to help you if you could tell us a bit more.
1. Are you sure it is a "glass globe" tutorial? OR, is it a "Button" tutorial. Please give the name as you see it.

2. Cut and paste the exact "Oh, it looks dusty" comment, along with the surrounding paragraph. It really sounds like you are just missing something.

Lots of people have done these tutorials, so the answer is probably there somewhere, but I can't find anything in Mark's site for a Glass Globe...specifics and precision in descriptions are almost tantamount if you want to learn or need help...

Welcome to the community Shrela. We hope you enjoy your stay. [honesty]

MsOz... Shrela is talking about a tute that is no longer posted on the site but instead only offered as a download. It was the very old "Sessions" section of the "Experienced User" section.

Shrela... the very next sentence right below the one you posted "It looks all dusty and scratched.", holds the answer to your question...

"There is a simple way to fix this (if you don't want it that way), and here it is... READY?!... Click on the 'Surface 1' layer, and return its Opacity setting back to 100%. Simple huh? "

I'm not sure how you missed that though. But it doesn't matter in any case. I hope that satisfies your obsession.

How I missed it? Hmm Appears the sentence is not even there lol I think I figured out why after I dowloaded a new copy of sessions. I believe I erased that part accidently when I was screwing around with making the html a word file. 8}

Heres is what I am using the globe for

I try to use all tuts I do in a project so that I am doing it myself and hopefully causing it to stick in my brain!! This will be on top of a web page me and my fiance are putting together for ourselves. Course Im new at photoshop and hes very rusy on html and java. He really wants to incorportae something cool into the site that uses C++ whitch is what hes going to school for. So well see how this turns out [excited]
