The dog legacy

I got problems with this one, but hopefully is will work. If not, I have a screenshot for you.

go to text tool, or just press T key
click Toggle palettes button (last button on in the text tool menu, hover over your mouse to make sure u are pressing the right button)
in character tab (default one), type one of the font u have installed, like 'Verdana'
now type a name of one of the 'crew' dogs - 'anthony' or 'mitzgy' or 'francis' or 'christopher'
now click Toggle palettes button again and voila!

The interesting thing about this, is that in previous versions (before 2004), the pictures are different - including all four dogs - but since Francis passed out...

Merlin the Wizard

Did you know that the crew 'mascot' is wizard Merlin?
Yes, he is hidden in your Photoshop.

go to layers toolbar (on the left in default workspace)
hold ALT key, and go onto the arrow that points left (look at the screenshot, where the pop-up menu goes from)
while holding mouse button and ALT key, go to the last menu option - Palette Options
release your mouse button
look, Merlin is right there!

Just to realise, do the same thing without pressed ALT key and you will notice little Merlins.
If do the same thing with channels you will only see their silhouettes. Look.
