# Yes, you're right
but i've worked my way through about 18 pages and can't find anything that I can make work! Everything is at the wrong angle/size or watermarked! I may have to resort to trying to make my own, but then I will be venturing into territory I've never ventured into before!

# Some crappy program called photoplus
then after some tweaking, ran it through vector magic online.

I have come up with a solution on the chips image. Borrowed some friends chips and used a camera! Why are the obvious things always the things I miss!!!!

# If you are after a chip face on then you can use the Crop Tool set to perspective to pull it straight
if you want to turn a chip to the side just select the chip invert the selection and delete the surrounding pixels. Free Transform the chip to the angle you require. Ctrl click on the thumbnail in the Layer Palette to select it and press Ctrl + Alt and tap the Up arrow key and it will extrude the chip to the required depth - job's a good 'un.

# top chip!

# you can also invert the selection after you've done the extrude
and then Shift+Alt click on the Layer Palette's thumbnail and that will switch the selection to the extruded edge only - you can dodge and burn some shadows and highlights or smooth out some of those lines by locking the layer's transparency and using a Guassian Blur.

# That's what your edit and transform tools are for.
even easier, if you have CS2+ then just copy a poker chip face, extrude it to 3d then rotate to whatever you want it to be. Copy, paste and repeat.
