Sonny Day, many thank you for these awesome tips. I am so blind with photoshop, and this tutorials help me how to use it.
thanks for the photoshop tips and tutorials. I use gimp 2.6 mainly since it was the free alternative to photoshop but have since started to learn photoshop and these tutorials will be a nice boost in learning some new design. Gimp is a little limited in its capabilities compared to photoshop. I used it recently on our logo for my ecommerce website
killer list of tutorials I thought I seen them all guess not {smiles}
thanks for sharing I will be sure to do the same.
Vincent
