Hah, no problem. I'd like to show more and in more detail. Someday I'll have to make a youtube video or something just haven't gotten around to it really.

I'm glad you could find something out of it!

No problem, I hope I explained it easy enough.

Any other questions about Photoshop you have I'm always willing to answer! (to the best of my knowledge.)

I should clarify, how do you achieve your white corona around your figure. Is there an easy quickie technique?

gemmillw [2011-06-24 00:22:45 +0000 UTC]

your tutorial solves some of the colour issues i've been fighting with recently, (been leary of hue, and saturation) but how do you achieve your symmetrical outlining of your character?
I've experimented with masking, then inverting then brushing around my focal point character, but this is sloppy and slow.....is there a way to expand and contract your mask? Help?

as always any and all tutorials are greatly appreciated.

TheCosbinator In reply to gemmillw [2011-06-24 00:40:52 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, that's an easy one. once you get the selection around your character however you go about doing it. I personally just select every flat layer, skin, clothing, hair until I have a selection around the character. Then goto Select>Modify>Expand Then do like 20px. which gives you a little bit bigger selection around your character. Fill with white and put it behind your character. Done.

I'm glad, I know I've learned a lot from tutorials, so just giving back. If even one person gets something from it, it was worth it to me.

Thank you very much for this, lots of little simple things that make all the difference.
I definatly learnt a trick or too and I have always like the cell shading type of colouring.
