Wow, if Photobacks and Topaz new you were teaching us all these effects for free, they’d be really upset. I watch their tutorials for tips and tricks but I sure don’t want to buy their stuff since I just play with it and am not a professional.
So instead, it is I who is thankful and greatful that you enjoy teaching us what you know. Sharing is wonderful.
If only the world would learn that too :O)
Thanks again. I’ll keep watching.
Fran,
Those guys have a ton of stuff for sale geared to a specific audience, so I don’t think they’ll mind!
Thanks for watching!
I plan to be as good as you in Photoshop! Keep up the good work!
Juvian, You can do it! All you need is to keep practicing, and learning. I still read books, watch tutorials and learn from those who are better than me (and even those who are not!).
Great tutorial!
Thank you!
