I looked over a couple of your tutorials and noticed that the The Ethereal Effect tutorial or 'diffused glow' as I am use to calling it is missing a couple of steps to acheive the desired result. after the gaussian blur try double clicking on the blurred layer and selecting the black arrow under the 'blend if' option. slide the black arrow until it starts to seperate the shadows and highlights> alt+click on the black arrow to seperate its transition> then apply your overlay or soft light blending mode.

Just a question for the Digital Painting Tutorial, did you use a Tablet or just the mouse?
And, I wanted to know if it would be considered 'cheating' persay, if I used the pen tool instead of the pencil, if I'm only using the mouse. Thanks..

Hey
I wasn't sure where to post this exactly, so I hope I'm in the right area. I've been trying to use the 'comic coloring' tutorial on your site but I continualy get stuck at one part. The tutorial I get stuck on is really more of the getting a picture ready to color tutorial, and this is the one part I keep getting stuck on;
3. Now we need to make a selection of the Line
While pressing the <ctrl> key, click on the little picture window beside the blue channel. This will load it as a selection. You should now have a marquee on white. Now <ctrl + shift+ I> inverse the selection.
-I follows the steps, hold down <ctrl> but I don't know what is meant by highlighting the picture window. I tried highlight the blue RBG window but that ended up not doing anything and I wasn't coming up with what the tutorial said I should be. I'm sorry if this question seems a bit stupid, I'm a bit of a slow learner and having difficulty with all this stuff, and I'd really like to color using a more comic style approach, rather then the burn/dodge tools I normaly use.
thanks for any assistance.

What line art are you using?
Da Boz
08-19-2005, 07:50 AM
Oh, I'm not sure what you mean...it's just basic inked line art, I usualy don't do all the added ink type shading as in the tutorial itself for example, I usualy leave shading for color. I wouldn't mind doing the black shading but that's a whole other matter...
what I usualy do is scan the inked image in grayscale, there's no pencil lines left on my artwork (normaly) because I use a little 'trace 'n' draw' lighting desk to ink the pencil sketch on an entirely new piece of paper. Just so incase I mess up with inking, I won't have ruined the original pencil sketch. I'm not sure what you'd call that.
Again I appologize if I seem a bit slow about this stuff, I've only recently started using photoshop at all. But that probably goes without saying.

I wish I could help you more, but I am not sure what to say, maybe attach the line art or email me the line art and I will take a look at the file.

I was thinking that myself actualy, it's probably hard to describe, least for someone who's not as familiar with these sort of terms like myself. I'll send something alot today and thank you very much for stepping up to try and assist me with this, it means alot to me.
SteelDolphin, the first tutorial that you made are excellent, but I'm stuck at one point...
Fisrt of all, I don't know anything in photoshop, i'm a beginner...
In the Digital Coloring Part II - The Render (Photoshop) tutorial, in the part where I want to create my ''flat Color Channel'', I do exactly like the tutorial, but all I get is a copy of the layer I copied (DHU!!!) and it messes up my colors because I have 2 times the same channel...
On your picture, it's like all the colors apears on you ''flat channel''... if I copy from the blue, I only get the blue...
Can you give me a little bit more details?
Just so you know, what I do is select one of the 3 channels (R,G or B) then Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-C, then create a new channel and the Ctrl-V on that new channel...
I only get the channel I copied and not all the colors...
Thanks
Pinks

Correction:
I do get all the channel, but all in black & white, no color.
And when this channel is created, it adds up to the other so everything is darker. I have to shut it off, so I don't really see the point of creating this ''FLAT'' channel...
