Yep you're right, no clipping mask.

Also one thing I didn't get, was the deep blue photo filter. I'm not sure if that's just something in CS or not. For that step I just filled the layer with black, applied a lens flare, adjusted the colour to blue, then set it to screen and lowered the opacity. Eh, in the end it worked, so it's all a-okay xD.

As I said before, I like this tut, except the whole soup can thing was weird. I guess I just wasn't expecting it xD. It was fun though, good tut.
