Anyways...here ya go.

very nice tutorial babe!

so nice of you to do full screen screencaps like that, it makes it very clear! if someone doesn't understand how to do it, it's not because you didn't make it easy!

=D

*smooches*

[keyweegirlie]

Thanks Sweetie. ;)

I figured full screen caps might be nice, glad you agreed.

OH OH OH THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!! :D :D I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THIS PROGRAM FOR WEEKS NOW, AND I FEEL SO LAME FOR NOT THINKING OF THIS.

BUT I LOVE YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! ♥

THANKS A BUNCH. (I feel so happy right now, hahahaha!)

[keyweegirlie]

Wow, you're happy! *giggles*

I'm glad that I could help you out Sweetie, but really, I've seen what you can do with graphics already so I know that you're talented. Just practice and play around and you'll be surprised at what you can figure out. ♥

Let me put it this way. I have NEVER tried any kind of photo editing software, and *I* understood these directions 100%. Testament to someone who actually knows how to explain what they're doing.

Kudos.

Now to actually develop some creativity and I might be good to go. LOL

[keyweegirlie]

Aww well thanks. If you ever wanna try to play with the program just let me know and I'll find you the download link...I have it somewhere.

*hugs*

Aww, thanks Katie!

And you should definitely start to make some icons...I saw the mini batch you posted on your LJ the other night and I thought they were cute. All you've gotta do is practice practice practice.

Wanna see my first mini batch ever?

Hi, I stumbled over this by chance, just wanted to thank you for that! I don't have Photoshop, but with a few tweaks I was able to use it for Photofiltre as well. Thanks a bunch, I'm playing with it now...*g*

[keyweegirlie]

Stumbling is always fun, glad I could help you. ;)

I don't actually have Photoshop either, I use PhotoPlus, but it's good to hear that this also works with the program that you use. Have fun playing.

The free version of Photofiltre does not have an erase tool, but the Windows program Paint has! Hah! And then I can do the transparency thing in Photofiltre and with a little bit of bribing and cookies it works... *g*
I so adore your black and white/color icons, and I'm glad I can play with it now for wallpapers and such. Fun!
