This is an incredibly long, detailed and helpful tutorial. I can only imagine how long it took you to put it together especially after the computer mishaps and whatnot, but I'm glad you stuck with it because I'm sure it's a valued resource to many. I faved only the first part so it can be found from the beginning and am commenting on the last part to asure you I have read and appreciated the whole thing. (Even the extra bits on frost and stone.) I tend to be more of a painter than a manipper but still there are many tips, and useful information here that can be applied to both genras. Thanks for taking the time and patience to give back to the community!

I faved all the tutorial parts up to this point, but I'm only commenting on the last one because I don't want to spam you too much

For someone who's just starting out [me], this is the most helpful tutorial in existence. I honestly appreciate the amount of time that you put in to this - if my computer crashed during a tutorial, I would probably give up immediately. Therefor, I applaud you and your amazingness:

This is fantastic. I mean, really fantastic. I learned so much, not only about photo manip, but about photoshop in general (so THAT'S what the clone stamp does! XD )

but seriously, this was a great tutorial/walkthough thing.

I love it.

absolutely excellent tutorial, it amazes me how much work you put into this.
as a complete beginner, i made this picture [link]
however, after reading your tutorial i can almost guarantee that i'll change your photoshop based things to fit PSP and i can't wait to put all this new knowledge to use!~ X3
again, this is most likely the most indepth and explanatory tutorial ive ever seen, and i've faved every single part of it to make sure i dont miss any.
thanks so much for creating it, i cant tell you how much i love this!

Wow. This is among one of the best guides I have ever seen. I'm just starting to get back into manips for the first time in a while, and I have to say, I learned a lot. Can't wait to try out some new stuff!
