Oh, god. Not another one, right? Well, boredom struck, and I simply couldn't contain myself. How shocking. Well, here goes nothing.

( Yami-chan's Blending Turtorial, Part One: The Bare Basics of BlendingCollapse )

Tell me what you think, and if it even helped at all. I'll write part two when I have a bit more time.

It summer vacation. It's early morning, and I had too much coffee for me to go back to sleep. Since I don't have anything else to do, I figured I might as well write a tutorial to keep my brain functioning. I apologize in advance for my terrible use to the English language before fully waking. :-)

I'm using Photoshop Elements to create this tutorial, but I'm fairly certain that it could be easily translated into other programs. All images are fairly large, but there are only three of them, and they have been linked to. It's my first tutorial, so please bear with me.

I hope someone out there could benefit from this. Feel free to ask questions, and I will try my best to answer.
