Thank you Yeah... I stumbled over some of his stock a long time ago, and when I made this his was the only stock that bore some resemblance to my idea of how a professor should look

When looking through tutorials, it's always bugged me when they've rushed confusing parts or just when they have tons of typos.
Hopefully people review this before thinking about making one. Thanks for making this!

Yum, gummy bears.... Huh, what? Oh yeah, the tutorial! lol. But that is true, alot of people want to be more specific while others can mainly figure it out on their own. But Specific is alot better.

Yeah - this tutorial was mainly inspired by tuts I read that went along the lines of "And when you've filled your canvas, just mess around with some cloud filters and stock to get a kind of whirly effect."

Ah thank you! This is the kind of inspiration to kick my butt back into tutorial making mode.
I like the reasons you've put up there as to why one should make tutorials. I only ever considered one of those possibilities. XD
I think I'm a walkthrough-ist...
Oh and thank you so much for all those shortcut codes! I wondered how to do some of those for a long time.
Excellent tutorial!

^^ By the way, I think it's awesome that you're taking the time to respond to all of your comments. Most people would quit after five. You're quite an exceptional person, I think.

Thank you for the kind words - I really appreciate all the feedback I get, so I do my best to leave a few words for those who comment. At least on this account - I've all but given up on my main one.
Anyhow, thanks again. It means alot

The design on this is lovely. <3
The problem with using short-cuts is that not everyone has the same short cuts; I changed mine so that it would be easier for me when working, so...
Banana + shoe lace = AWESOME.

Eilorendil In reply to chibixestella [2007-07-06 16:15:54 +0000 UTC]
You're right about the shortcuts - I realized it when I tried a Norwegian version of PS at school and the program kept doing odd things when I tried different commands So yeah, you'd have to change to another standard... Most people use the American as default, though, but I'll be sure to mention this if I write about shortcuts again
Thanks for the comment - the layout are on of the things I like to do most when I make tuts.
As for the banana, for some reason I associate "humour" with "clown slipping on banana", so I searched for banana on sxc.hu and got up that image

You really deserved the Daily Deviation
So far, I only read part 1 - it's really good. It follows your own guidelines, i.e. being clear, having enough images etcetera. I think it may help aspiring tutorial writers quite a lot, so be proud

Why thankies I try to be consistent when I write, though it's not always easy to catch all the typos. Anyhow, I'm glad you liked it, and I hope you enjoyed part 2 as well.
