Any chance you can do this effect with a TT?

With a TT, the effect would take too much work imo compared to Shawn's version.

No need for a TT, Platt. That's only one reason that I love this effect (I hate TTs)!
It would really be quite tragic
if the world had to do without magic! |

I have just ordered this and am fortunate to have friends in a four piece band called 'The Torn' http://www.thetorn.co.uk
Their publicity photo's have the band name printed on them, so I am thinking that this will be a great 'autographed' souvenir for a fan wanting a signed photo at one of their gigs. Looking forward to trying it. Paul Mc.

If youve tried everything and still can't create your photo then I'm willing to help. I have the photo creation down pretty quick now using Photoshop. Just send me the photo(s) you want converting. Include a photo of yourself holding the back of the DVD case to the camera just to keep it fair. I'll try to get back to you as quick as I can. If I suddenly get flooded I may have to rethink but I suspect it's a small minority having problems.

I received my T2P DVD about ten days ago. The templates worked well with my edition of Photoshop CS2. I printed several photos from the template at my desktop with photo paper, and also some at Walgreens and Wal-Mart. My problem is that after tearing the left hand has the packet and a quarter piece of the torn photo (glossy side to glossy side). Shawn easily displays it by pushing it up with his thumb. But I can't get the two pieces to do that. The gloss-to-gloss contact makes them adhere to each other.
Did any of you face the same problem...and do you have a solution? (I don't have any problems with the two pieces in the right hand. That's because the glossy paper rubs against the flat (matte) surface of the pieces in front of it.) Cheers.

I got this years ago from Shawn, before the DVD came out. I use Photoshop Elements and PrintShop 20 (both ancient) to create my photos for this. Probably not as quick as the new methods, but has worked great for me for years. If I'm doing a private gig I love to get a photo of the host in advance and set this up with their photo.

Play with it a little bit with both the phase of showing the four pieces separately (two in each hand), then the phase where they are all stacked and transfered to the other hand. Probably the best solution is to use both suggestions. Takes some practice, but will really releive the tackyness you speak of when separating the photo front to photo front issue that you mentioned. I don't have Shawn's DVD version, just his CD Rom version, so I don't know if he addressed this on the DVD. Hope this gives you a few ideas. Sammy

I bought the T2P when I translated Shawn lecture in France a couple of years ago, but I am just working on it now, and have some problems with the templates: I am using photoshop element on a Mac...Is there anyone who could help with Photoshop element please?

I would suggest using GIMP and the .xcf templates on the MAC for free. Or download a trial version of Photoshop and do all the templates you need in under 30 days... who knows you may like Photoshop so much you actually buy it. eMail me direct Jean-Luc and I'll help you as you were so generous to help me on my tour of France. -shawn |

Great news! Adobe is offering Photoshop CS2 for free here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/k......ads.html I've got Windows 7 and this worked perfect for me.
Photoshop CS2 is toward the bottom of the list. This is an authorized version. Make sure you keep the webpage open because you will need to input the serial number. A couple other tips: If you are unable to grab and drop the image, click the Move Tool on the left side of the screen. It is under the feather. If you need to flip your image got to: Image, Rotate Canvas, 180 Jake

Adobe is also offering a free 30 trail of their new Cloud version of Photoshop and I have tested it and it works perfect with the provided T2P templates. http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html

Hi Shawn and others, I'm trying desperately to get this to work for a birthday party on Saturday--I gave up on trying to get Gimp to work with the template included on the dvd, but downloaded the trial photoshop CC version as Shawn noted above. The problem I'm having is this: The template loads perfectly. When I follow the first step of double-clicking where instructed, the picture that pops up doesn't show up in the same screen as the template, it makes its own file beside it. Like I can click back and forth between them, but can't get them to show up together. I'm assuming something with the "layering" is going on, and am wondering if the program defaults to this set up and how I should fix it...Hope this makes sense to someone. THANK YOU in advance for any suggestions!!!

Hi Wendy, you need to drag and drop the image into the template. Or you can copy and paste the image into the template. If you still need help, pm me.

I would love to purchase this effect. I am not very "techie" and was wondering how difficult Gimp is to use for this application? Also, does this come with pre-made photo gimmicks that can be simply copied and then reprinted in order to perform the routine? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Gimp is super simple and there are various templates to work from.

Yes, it comes with at least one pre-made gimmick that you can make more copies of. I didn't have the easiest time importing my own photo for some reason (and I'm pretty saavy) but it can certainly be done. Enjoy!
