I NO LONGER USE THIS ACCOUNTPlease visit my new account (~kalliann ) if you would like to watch me or send me a note/comment. Thank you
So yeah, my first try at making a tutorial. This is for because shes been coloring with colored pencils, and now she wants to learn PS. I leant her the CD. yadda yadda yaddaa~
So yeah, she is all confuzzled about layers. So IM here to help her out. ^^-
These are some of the Hotkeys for PS
Brush sizes:
[ :makes brush smaller
] :makes brush bigger
Zoom:
CTRL - :zoom out
CTRL + :zoom in
CTRL Z :Undo *My fave! ^^*
CTRL A :Select All
CTRL X :Cut
CTRL C :Copy
CTRL V : Paste
(Just for you people who are wondering, these hotkeys can also work on Painter. I use Painter 9, but it should work in any version.)
*EDIT*
-Sorry about this. But AFTER I made the tutorial, I then realized a new way of duplicating your layer. You can drag your layer to the "add a new layer" icon thing at the bottom of your layers box. Im SORRY! I hope you guys know where it is.. You better.. >w< If you have any questions. jus comment.
P.S-I know that I made a few mistakes somewhere, this Tutorial is meant for all the Photoshop n00bs out there. But others may find some helpful tips. BTW. I LOVE to see whut you guys can do after lookin at my tut! >w< Put the link up here, and Ayl check it out! Cuz m thinkin of complining all your great deviations, then putting it up! >w<
HOPE THIS HELPED YOU GUYS!!
-EDIT2-
Uhm. I made this quite a while back, and now I have my tabby. But you can still ask me about this. ^^ I do some traditional media every now and then.
Want to request another tutorial?? Ask me here!!! [link]

Ahh, the magic of photoshop!
If you find that you have unwanted shades or whatever else, I suggest scanning at a dpi of 200+ (whatever your computer can handle) and then using the Levels feature to lighten everything up and to make it look like a clean scan. :3 (Image>adjustments>levels)

Cool! I'll definitely try that out next time I get my hands on a scanner. ^^

Ok, just one thing.
When I select the channels, lock the transparent pixels, and then delete the channels, I still have the original background; not a transparent one.
What do I do about that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH, actually when you select the channels and lock the transparent pixels, you're supposed to hit 'delete' on your keyboard while on your lineart layer. (not delete the channels themselves) (:
If that isnt the problem, perhaps you didnt hide your original background layer? So it still gives your picture a white background.
I hope I helped, but if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. ^^

Oh..okay. Thanks for telling me that, I just got a bit confused on the tutorial.
It's just that I don't use Photoshop that much, I'm just practicing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, sorry. xDD I'm not the best at explaining things. Haha~
That's totally understandable. (: Photoshop might seem a bit intimidating to people who're just starting out, but once you get the hang of it, you'll really love the program. (and it gets SO much easier to use) ^^
Oh gosh, I cant tell you how confused I was of the thing when I first heard of it. xD hahaha!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, it's alright. But I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Okay I don't get it. How do I get it to print? I downloaded it, but when it printed I had a small thumbnail of it. Am I to save this then open it in my program? Help please.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm a little confused by your question, but did you want to print out my tutorial?
I'm not quite sure how to answer you, as I never really expected anyone to print it out. xDD haha~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. My computer can't handle too many programs running at once and I have to read things + times before I understand what I've read. I think I know what I'm gonna do to print it out. But thanks though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that's completely understandable. (: I guess you could just fullview the tutorial, copy the image and paste it in paint or something. xD haha~ I hope it's the least bit helpful. (: Good luck to you!

It should help me. Now that I have it in my hand.

I need to *coughcough* get my photoshop back. D:
Any suggestions where I can get cs2 from a good reliable site? >w<
Your tutorial looks so convincing I want to try.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh. XD You can get Photoshop CS2 by searching for it on google or somethin. -Its only a trial version though-
I highly doubt you'll be able to get a full-download. ._.
>w< Im glad you find it convincing. I hope you can go and try it out!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have googled it. XP I can't find anything reliable. xP
I have it registered to Adobe.com when I lost it but they are currently down. D:

Thanks though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
