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

I have a doubt. I haven't got the filter blur, what can I use?

What do you mean you don't have the blur filter? Are you using Photoshop?

Yes, but I have CS2..

Sorry but I'm a newbie when it comes to photoshop. On step 2 when I'm chosing the slective color, in the right corner, but there's no button to press ok, so nothing is happening.
But when I go up in the menu: Image>Adjustment>Selective color a window pop up where I'm able to press okay, but nothing happens

When you select the Image>Adjustment>Selective color you have to choose colors in the drop menu and slide the sliders, then something will happen

Haha I did so, but I still didn't see any difference. But I then remembered that you wrote it all depends on the colors of the pic I'm using. But thanks for this tutorial!
