Hi Mitch,

thank you for your constant supply of very useful tips and alternative ways to get the desired results with Photoshop!!! :bigthmb:

I've downloaded all 4 parts of this tutorial, will start reading and, hopefully, learning from it .... It really seems very interesting! :pleased:

What I also use from your tips/tutorials, quite regularly, is the 'Masking by the numbers technique' .... I find it simply great!

Thanks for sharing...

:wavey:

P.S. I'm moving your threads to the Tips Forum .... I think many go there first (I know I did!) when looking for help or simply inspiration... :grin:
