Description Lately, a lot of people have been asking me how I edit my photos, so I decided to make a tutorial.
It's rather simple and I hope that those of you who wondered what I do to my photos will find it useful.

EDIT: In the third step I forgot to write filter>blur>gaussian blur

If you use this tutorial it'd be nice if you credited me. Also, feel free to post links to your photos edited with the help of this tutorial, I'd love to see them

Thank you for the DD
