Description
As I promised to some of the people here, I'm releasing the first tutorial here.This is the tutorial for how to do soft cell shading on Photoshop, based on my experience.
The version of Photoshop used in the tutorial is 6. If you use later versions, names of tools/modes and/or allocation of shortcut keys might be different.
I'm working on Windows, so if you use Mac please change these notations as: Ctrl to Command, Alt to Option.
I just hope it helps you.

How do you set up a deviation like this to have a separate preview image? I can only get it to work for files.

ty for the tutorial, and will this work for Photoshop Elements 7.0?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well actually, you can do most of it in Elements 7.0. There are some things like grouping that doesn't work. But pretty much this tutorial is viable for Elements... You just need to erase more 
It also isn't as easy as it looks...
