This is truly an excellent tutorial, excellently presented and thought out *nods* Glad my stock came in useful to you and I hope to see the tut completed at some point! :)

Amazing job.. Magnificent tutorial..

:D

Nice and helpful tutorial, good job. :D

Oh, and the comment above was from me, Prashanna. :P

probably the most educational tutorial i have seen so far *bookmarks*
great job. =)

Thank you so much for creating and sharing this tutorial. I have only really started manips in Dec 2006, but there were a few helpful tips here and you explain things so easily. The most useful for me is the liquify tool explanation. Every time I have tried using it and playing with my pics look silly, so I just left it alone, now I might go back and have another go and try making models younger or something. Thanks again, your hard work is appreciated :) MrsNarna

this set of tutorials is much appreciated :D

Wonderful tutorial. It's wonderful for beginner manip'ers (like me.)

Nice job. :)

I admire you for putting so much effort into sharing with others your talent. It means a lot to people if someone can be bothered to give them a helping hand. So, nice job!

Thanks so much for taking all the time to put that together. It really makes me want to get back into photomanips, and to do it better this time 'round. ^_~

THis is really useful, thanks!! Good thing you didn't do a step-by-step tutorial.

thank you for sharing this massive tutorial! I will be reading this in a while, you truly deserve the DD on DA! keep it up!

Being a brand new photo manipulation adventurer I find your tutorial to be absolutely amazing and most helpful, even if at any given moment I need to just see it is possible, and yes, I CAN do it.

Thank you so much for putting this together (and I hope you are able to work through the hosting problems as I look forward to seeing what is missing.

I will not rip this, but I want to post a link in my deviantart journal, so others can see what you have done. I think it is going to prove very helpful!

Thank you so much for the compliments - I'm so glad to hear that it could help you. Feedback like that makes it worth all the time it takes to write tutorials.

I'm sorry I haven't replied before; I don't check back on this very often. You're very welcome to post a link to this in your journal; I'd be flattered if you did.

=)

I think I may love you... seriously. I find it so helpful to look at different tutorials for photoshop, and I must say this is one of the most useful. The artists interview section was very helpful, I always love to hear how different people achieve different (or the same) effects. The cutting out an image was quite interesting. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and sharing it with all of us. The resources you list are quite useful too. Thanks again!

This is by far, the best tutorial I have ever seen on manipulations. I am quite new to it, and though I catch on quickly, I would have never guessed how some of the effects are made. I hope that you'll check out my deviantart, and here is a piece I recently completed with this tutorial.
Thanks so much!

I did not understand that at all :( I just wanna do photo manips. Are they that hard?

wow. thanks for the tips and techniques. i have not even dared to try manipulation but now i'm willing to take the plunge.

great job on this tut and thanks for taking your time to educate newbies like me =)

wow!

This is such an amazing and fabulous tutorial! Thanks so much - it must have taken you hours and hours (or days and days - even weeks!) Excellent job!

So... I jumped straight into making people look "dead" awhile back, but decided it was boreing... With this tutorial I can actually learn, and do other things :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!

<333

This is great~ Thank you so much!
But, I do have a concern.
There seems to be an image [or two?] missing in between where the before and after shots of the liquefy filter ends and chapter four begins. Is it just my computer or are there not really any images there? It just seems like it's missing something...
~Becca

There's two images missing, you're completely right :o The last part, the one with interviews, was also gone... Should be working now :) I'm glad you found it helpful, thanks alot for commenting

Thank you for the great tutorial :)

Some of the images aren't working. >.>
