Well done, a very nice post for your first. This is a good kinda detailed post. An example of what most posts should be like. (as long as it is not copied directly from anywhere else). I know there are a lot of websites with these tutorials on around the net, for beginners mostly who still play around with the filters to get pretty effects.Well done.
