Please don't copy any of these tutorials exactly. These are to help you expand your knowledge of adjustment layers, and how to achieve various colorings. I'd love to see any results you get from these tutorials. Also, if you are having technically difficulties with something, please feel free to ask. I don't bite, promise. =D
