Other than that, really helpful! thanks!
How do I apply the gradient?
some pretty cool tips for novice photo shop users ~ thanx!
A general question for all those reading here. Any advice on where I can find either tips or plugins for creating painterly or fine art effects for use in photo shop? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
fuckk!really cool tutorials
really nice list, thanks for sharing…
ncluding specific questions in posts definitely helps get higher numbers of comments. I find that when I include questions in my headings that it is a particularly effective way of getting a response from readers as you set a question in their mind from the first moments of blog,
I can’t believe this, i have to take a look one by one, hopefully I’m in the category of clever beginners instead of not so clever beginners
