Good stuff but i suggest that when ur starting in the graphics try to develop something yourself becasue that gives a lot better stuff to you

I agree, it's always more rewarding to develop your own stuff.

Feel free to post any of your own tips and tricks in here, too.

I never used or will use tutorials.The best stuff is all experimental and creating unique personalised techniques.

Erin · Apr 12, 2004

I use them if I see an effect on someone else's graphic and I'd really like to try it out. I think they come in handy then.

i like that :] Good sentence, tuts suck

Sasha · Apr 12, 2004

Tutorials suck, ripping off someones work sucks. Design is all about imagination, you are an artist when given that canvas, it's up to you to make something out of it.

DajuanWagner#2 · Apr 12, 2004

^Don't really agree... effects that shows how to make effects and stuff is not good, but tutorials that shows how to use a tool is ok, right?

Erin · Apr 12, 2004

How are you gonna design something if you don't know how to use anything? Tutorials are great for beginners.

MagicForEver123 · Apr 12, 2004

I gotta agree with kvh4fan.

With tutorials like the one you find on www.good-tutorials.com (thanks TimFlem for giving me credit) you learn the basic stuff. It's not about ripping off someones work like sasha said it's like getting new ideas and learning how to use photoshop and all the tools around. It's also about getting new ideas. You'll find a lot tuts which are there just to copy it but you still learn and see how things work and what different effects can do. But you also find other tutorials which explain how to use tools, how to improve your pics, how to do a cutout properly and all that kind of stuff.

I've always used Paint Shop Pro. I just started using PhotoShop in school and I've been looking at different tutorials on how to achieve certain effects and how to use them. If I was just to sit there and try to figure out how to use it on my own, I'd be there for ages! Do you know how long it took me to find how to add a border? lol.

eginobili20 · Apr 12, 2004

I think theyre only little options in paint shop pro but maybe its cause i havent experimented that much with it

Theres alot of stuff in PSP.

Sasha · Apr 13, 2004

I like experimenting, and creating different effects. No tutorial is going to teach you how to use polar cooridnates, or wind effects, or Eye Candy type stuff. that's something you do on your own, and I find it better like that.

DajuanWagner#2 · Apr 13, 2004

No, but how to use the potential of those effects is possible to get in tutorials.

rjnavarrete · Apr 13, 2004

I really don't mind usign it one time to learn how to do a certain (prob. popular) effect, eTC. But some people fire up a tut. everytime they do a chop and that is just wrong.

MagicForEver123 · Apr 13, 2004

Well, I found quite a lot of different tuts for polar coordinates and wind effects. They were basically some which you would call just to copy but as DajuanWagner said they show you the potential and the way you can use them. Which helped me a lot. Together with your own imagination you can create new and other stuff. Trying to figure this all out by your own is sometimes really time-intensive and can be really dissatisfying. But seeing and working through those tuts can give you new inspiration. After a while you know how to use most of the stuff and you don't need tuts as much as at the beginning but I like to look at them to get new inspiration.

GraphicXpert · Apr 13, 2004

I still think its better to not use tutorials ,your work may be real robotic and by the book and nothing unique will be developed.But i can also understand the view that some people may need them to start and do not posess the experimental mindset.

I am still learning and never needed any help,i just keep using techniques over and over and discover the best,however i do agree with this statement by Dajuan Wagner.Sometimes tutorials are essential for people to get the best of the certain effect,but still that is possible for yourself to discover ,like me.

this is really funny because i should go to walls-cave and in the walls section find a guy who's name's MARCOOL he made very wall in paint shop pro

heh then you will know that it has tons of options

InNETSweTrust · Jun 7, 2004

hey guys...where exactly can i download a free tool to make these stuffs?

Mr.Fundamentals · Jun 27, 2004

question: where do you find the scalelines in photoshop?

bbwtrench · Nov 1, 2004

I dont know about everyone else, but I love to learn by using tutorials. Good Tutorialz ownz all! After the tutorial I try to extend it on my own. Tutorials are like going to school. You need classes before you can write your own thesis.
