Well, if you want me to break specific things down for you, just ask

well for starters i dont really understand the quick mask tool on how it works
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh. Well, you know how when you usually select stuff, you have to use the tool, and kind of drag it around, telling photoshop: "I want to select this!" So if you select like the outline of a stick figure, let's say, you'll have to be very careful going around the sides...
Whereas, with the Quick Mask tool, when you activate it, you can just DRAW your selection
Does that make more sense?

ok thx now i understand the quick mask tool now what i dont understand is how to use the blending mode on the brush mutiply mode on the brush and the linar doge tool also on the brush and oen mroe thing is in on of tutorial you said something about detail brush may i ask which one is that? and thank you fro your help XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you look under your brush options, where I pointed out you can change the brush to Mutiply or Linear Dodge, it's really just to change your brush into.. well, in simple terms...
Multiply will Darken the colors of what you draw over with the brush
Linear dodge will brighten the colors of what you draw over with the brush
And the detail brush is just the non fuzzy brush

This is great. I really needed the part with the water.

Aghhhhhh sorry for asking multiple questions but ; A ;
I'm using Photoshop 7 and don't have the warp too, so I can't use the warp tool to adjust my water. What would be a good alternative?

Mm, is there a perspective tool?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

'May I ask what you used to make this? c: (The tutorial itself, that is. I'd have to be pretty stupid to not know what you used to make the image xDD)

You definitely deserve the DD
This tutorial is just so..WOW, it covers practically all of the SFX that i'd like to use in future artworks. The way you explain is really easy to understand so thank you so much!

This is such a beautiful tutorial, the only thing that i have to nag about is that you could have warped Sora's reflection in the water a bit, since the water has ripples and isn't still. You would only get a mirror like affect such as that in still water :3

awee ;____; That's so sad! I heard people use GIMP a lot because Photoshop can't offer them that.

i've tried GIMP, but its not really my taste xd

thank you very much!!!
the displace filter you used also works on Gimp!!!
I always wondered how I would do that with water reflections, instead of Iwarping if for hours X)
Thank you so much!!!

ee! sweet! thanks for letting me know that!!

Your welcome
Ya know a lot of the things I learnt on gimp I learnt it from Ps tutorials.
they basically have most of the same tools and filters but their usually located in different places or named differently
Perfect example, on this tutorial you went to Filters>Render>Displace.
On gimp I had to go to Filters>Map>Displace. But it basically all does the same thing

you said the warp demostration works in gimp? O.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah you can warp or Iwarp your images on gimp.
Just got to Filters>Distorts>Iwarp
then a window will pop up for you to choose what kind of warping you want to do, like grow, shrink, move, or swirl left or right.
you can even choose the radius of the warping tool.
I used it to warp this piece [link]
on to this piece [link]
It works really well you just gotta play with it a bit

ooh that's good that it's that similar
I like how all the programs have some degree of similarities, this way I can at least help people using gimp from a Photoshop perspective
