Er... not to be a nuisance, but I can't seem to enlarge the picture to actually see it or even download it. Whenever I try it just comes up blank.
Sorry, I just really want to use this tutorial, haha.

This effect of yarn...can be used on photoshop cs3?

ScootLoops In reply to ShadowRose794 [2012-02-18 00:44:49 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure you could, its just going to be awful hard without the pattern wrap tool . You'd have to rely on the transform and warp tools which would make it a lot more difficult I'm afraid.

Great Tutorial, I love Kirby's Epic Yarn!
I made this with it: [link]
But i didn't have Cs5, so I had to resize that strand of yarn with transform tools. So very, Very Hard.

Oh wow! That would have been so tricky and time consuming! Well worth the time you took with it though, it looks awesome!

Need help now. T~T
So I REALLY don't know how to select the image before you expand what you selected while working on getting the canvas (Step four on Backgrounds). It's probably something super simple, but it's been bugging me and can't get it to select only the outer areas. Can you help me? Send me a note if that's alright. Thank you so much, darling~ ^_^
