Basic Photoshop Avvie

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/APavvie1.jpg
I'm going to use the Basic Photoshop Blend as an example. Open it and open a 100x100 window

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/APavvie2.jpg
Click on the selection tool

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/APavvie3.jpg
Select the whole 100x100 window

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/APavvie4.jpg
Use the 100x100 selection and select the picture you wanna use

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/APavvie5.jpg
Now click on the Move tool

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/APavvie6.jpg
Using the Move tool, put the picture you selected in the 100x100 window. If everything comes out good, the picture should fit in perfectly in the window

You´ll get something like this
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/APavvieFINAL.jpg
Remember it's really basic. I'll put some more advanced tuts eventually.
Thanks for reading this and I hope this helps you to get started!

[miji.hannahmontana]

This is quite hard so ask any doubts you have :)

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/AIR1.gif
Open a 100x100 window.

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/AIR2.gif
Open the pictures you wanna use.

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/AIR3.gif
Move one of the pictures to the 100x100 window and put it where you want it. Resize if needed.

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/AIR4.gif
Do the same with the other pic/s.

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/AIR5.gif
You'll have something like that. Yeah, you only see one pic :)

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/AIR6.gif
Open the "Animation" Window if it's not. Then click on the button witch looks like a paper you are taking off. If you have 2 pictures, you'll need 8 frames.

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/AIR7.gif
Click on the 2nd frame. Then double click the first photo's layer and put the clarity of the photo in 75%.

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/AIR8.gif
Then click on the 3rd and put the clarity in 50%. In the 4th, put it in 25%, then make it dissapear so that you can see the pic under it. Then, put it in 25% again, then in 50% and then in 75%.

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/AIR9.gif

But isn't This much better?
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/cirfinal.gif

Just read this tutorial and you'll learn the basics of colorizing in ImageReady

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/CIR1.gif
Open the pic you wanna colorize

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/CIR2.gif
I don't know how is it called in english, but open that window (it's quite big, I think you can see its position in the "Image - Adjusts" window. It may be sth like "LIGHT AND CONTRAST")

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/CIR3.gif
Move the scrolling bar till you get the light and the contrast you want.

And that's it!

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/Other/circomienzo.gif

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/cirfinal.gif

How to make borders, shadow, etc. :) Adobe Photoshop AND ImageReady

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/My%20Fan%20Art/Freebies/AA.jpg
Select the layer you want to add this style to. (In this case, it's a brush, but it can be anything, even text).

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/My%20Fan%20Art/Freebies/B.jpg
Go to layer, then to Layer style and click the last element of the list (In spanish it's trazo, (line) but I don't know the exact word used in the english version of the program). Select the options you want (to see the size and the place where the line will be)

http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t48/criticalmijal/My%20Fan%20Art/Freebies/C.jpg
Then put the parallel shadow and relief.

You'll get sth like this

Coloring can be so easy! This is a really quick way of having a quite good colorizing :D. You can experiment with this tut, it isn't something that will always look the same. You can change it! I made an animated one and an average one. Use the one which is easier for you :P.
