What software are you using? In a tutorial it would be nice if you put down what software and version you are using.Nils

It's in the Photoshop topic, Nils... that's just a con of the 'active topics' thing on the bottom of the page, but if you take a good look around *hint-hint* you can see it...

Geee wiz, did someone slap me with a wet fish... I stink...

 

Sorry about that, I'm scrolling post by post... Didn't even read what the specific forum was. ...

 

The reason it's good to put what software you are using version and all are for googlebot, when the pages are indexed and you perform a search on google nobody will know that this topic was in photoshop...

I'll be more specific why I ask the next time...

I think this is a great tutorial. I tried it and it was pretty simple to do. The effect is impressive! Give it a shot!

Okay, I know its wrong to use tutorials for a program that I don't have for a program that I do have, but some of the photoshop tutorials I have used before you can use with psp 7. Yeah, I know, I'm old schoool, but hey. Anyway, so I was trying out this tutorial and I got lost in a step, so I was wondering if anybody had psp 7, and could xlear it up for me whether or not this tutorial will work in psp 7. Do i need to add a step here or there, or what? I know, I know, photoshop tutorial, but hey some of them work and some of them don't,, so I figured I should give it a shot because I think the outcome would be pretty neat and I could really use it with on of the themes I'm working on for a layout. Thanks a lot for all your help. I'm sure I wouldn't have any questions if I had the proper program.

It would be nice if you put picture up. I didn't try the tut myself because I don't want to spend time on something that might look cheesy. wykked, where did you get lost?

Hmmm, I'm not sure if I did this correctly. It would have been nice to see what the final image was suppose to look like so I could tweak mine accordingly. Another problem is my inability to follow instructions..I always tend to add/remove steps from the process. Anyway, I figured some of you might like to know what it looks like (assuming I did it correctly)....so here it is:

 

 

I'd like to see how some other turned out.

Thanks
