Christmas Cookies in Photoshop 3D

ChristmasCookies-Thumb

The gifts are wrapped, the tree is decorated, and you’re ready for your long winter’s nap. But wait – you’ve forgotten something: the cookies! Never fear, with Photoshop you can whip up some great Christmas cookies from scratch.

In this two part tutorial (with both parts presented here), I make use of some freely available assets that you can download for your own use and experimentation:

Watch, enjoy, try it yourself; and have a happy and safe holiday, and a prosperous new year. I’ll see you in January!

3 Comments on Christmas Cookies in Photoshop 3D

  1. I hear this name first photoshop 3d and the products are looking real and too much creative.

  2. Hello, I was quite excited to try these and downloaded the cookies and followed you up to the point where you clicked on the 3D button and I went to do the same but … when I did, I realized that I do not have PS extended and thus I assume that I do not have the 3D because of this which means I cannot make them. Just want you to confirm that this is why I could not find the 3D button.

  3. Kelly,

    Yes, I’m sorry to say that the 3D capabilities are only in Photoshop CS5 Extended. You can download a 30 day free trial from Adobe, but if you already have PS CS5 installed you may not want to mess with it, at least not on the same machine.
