  1. great tutorial. thanx
    but i have one question please.
    can you do the same tutorial with an “A” letter?

    that’ll be very nice

  2. Quite a long tutorial… 45 min! but the result is worth it. Such a high quality image.

  3. ok im not a photoshop guru ….but this guy knows his stuff….he goes really fast so i had to keep pausing…and also used my own back ground and created the heart logo using circles…may be i should have gotten a pic online or something..also i just duplicated the j to get that effect..but ..I really could nt keep up with all of the layer mask stuff. I think hes a really good teacher .

  5. Learned so much from this! Super awesome! Some great techniques in this tutorail! Love it!

  6. thank his video tutorials

  7. Downloaded the file. Can not extract.

  8. I was able to download the file once but unable to extract or open it. I can’t download it again. Evertime I try the download button does not appear.

    • sent you an email with the link

      • Thanks Got it. Works.
        I think because I don’t belong to facebook, google+ or tweet is the reason I can not get a download button to appear. In the future instead of bothering someone who has a plate full already with all the help you are providing I will find similar photos and textures on my own to follow along with.

        Great tutorials by the way and thanks again :)

  9. I just love this place….
