Description I decided to do a COMPLETE tutorial of my 'Autumn Guardian' piece.

Dedicated to everyone at it's a great group that provides a huge amount of support to those who enjoy photomanipulation from beginner upwards.

I'm completely self taught in Photoshop, so it may not be the best way of doing things - just the way I do them. It goes from basic cutting pasting and manipulating, to effects and coloring. I hope it proves useful, I tried to include as much detail as possible for beginners.

This tutorial is in English and made using Adobe Photoshop CS2 in Windows Vista. I tried to write in American English but I'm Australian so it's not my first English

It's in PDF format and it's a large file because it's image heavy - but it's 7 pages and detailed from beginning to end.

I used a demo PDF maker so there's a horrible watermark on the top of the first page.

Well, I made my first ever fantasy photo manip and the tutorial was extremely helpful. Particularly at the end stages. It's not great, but wanted to give you credit for all the help your tutorial provided. [link]

Thank you SO much for this! It's awesome and a beautifully done image. I'm new to photo manipulation and have had the hardest time figuring out how to get things to look more like a painting than the original photos. You've helped hugely with that and so much more. I can't wait to have time to go back through more slowly.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! As a beginner with both Photoshop and manipulations, I always looks for tips and new things I can learn about both. This tutorial is very easy to understand and follow. You did a great job with both the picture and putting together the tutorial. I look forward to others you might put together!

Thank you! I wanted to make it as comprehensive as possible so people could apply it to any manipulation and so there would be something in it for beginners to to intermediate.
