alyburns[info]alyburns on October 3rd, 2006 05:58 pm (UTC)
I have a question about step 7
of the b/w tut? When you made the new layer, you colored it black then painted in the red circle?
Kate[info]pureskies on October 4th, 2006 02:45 am (UTC)
Re: I have a question about step 7
well, an easy way to do that is to use the 'gradient brush' that i included in the tut. Just drag it onto your image and set to screen.

If you need any more help please don't hesistate to ask!

Added to mems. And sweetie, I hope you don't mind if I use these two for my icon batches. For some of them I will be fiddling around with the color blance etc, but, I might just end up sticking to your step by step guide..
