Is there a pdf version of the full tutorial available for download?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I'm sorry - just a .zip file with all the parts in jpg format. Do you have problems viewing it?
π: 0 β©: 1
No problems, I just prefer PDFs for the sake of convenience.

Oh, Yeah for you!!! I just bought a bunch of graphics I couldn't afford because I've been dying to try to figure out photomanipulation...but where the heck to start? I've got uber-basic photoshop skills, but want to learn as I go and create somethin' pretty along the way. Your tuts...and I just read thru first one halfway so far...are clear enough to follow without being so weighed down w teensy details that following becomes more hassle than fun. So thank you, thank you, thank you!! After going thru your series, hopefully I'll have created something decent enough to post in public! lol

I have a one question: from which stock is the girl in the middle(with the latern) and the girl who wear the white dress and have a book?
best regards

It says so under the pictures
They're from the same artist, *lucias-stock . Sadly she took down her gallery a long time ago... I'm still upset about that - she was one of the very first stock artists that I discovered on dA.
Glad you like the tut

I know the stock is closed but the two pictures are beautiful..

BA-DOW! I just read the whole thing in your LJ. I'm soooooooooo excited to go home and play some more with my stuff! (I'm at work now... and clearly only pretending to work and instead reading PS TUTs on DA.) I've only done two manips so far (they're uploaded now) and they just... seem off. You know? Of course you know. So now I want to go home and start a new one after having read this exhaustive tutorial! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

This is an absolutely incredible tutorial! I can't imagine all the work that went into creating it. Thank you so much for that, and for sharing it with everyone. I have only done a few photo manipulations and I was feeling a bit lost about where to start. Your tutorial not only gave me many great ideas, it also inspired me in a few creative directions. So again, thank you!
