Thanks for asking, I should’ve described what I was doing. At that point I created a clipping mask using the shape layer below. The shortcut for that is to Option-click the line between the two layers. You can also select “Layer > Create Clipping Mask”. For more info on clipping masks, see Screencast 2: How and when to use clipping masks – http://weheartgames.com/2010/07/screencast-clipping-masks/

Hey, awesome video. Quick question, what’s the shortcut you did at 5:47 when you fit your texture to the template? you did it so fast…

Thanks guys! Glad you found them helpful. Many conversations I've had with devs who do their own art have showed me that there are a lot of simple Ps tricks I can share that would make the process a lot more efficient and a lot less frustrating. So here we are! I hope future screencasts are as helpful.

Great video, Mike! I just learned a bunch of stuff I didn't know, and I've been using PS for almost 10 years!
