If you have had trouble trying to download then i suggest you get someone more computer savvy to get the file for you, cause the unpacking bit might confuse you.

The download works fine.

Bottom of page click on 'free download' button
Wait 30 seconds
Click on the download link.

Unzip/rar the file

Great links! I could spend days messing around with them heh!

So, does anyone here use the selective colour doohicky? All I ever seem to see in PS books is about the channel mixer for controlling colour. I have messed with the channel mixer, and like what it can do (good for b/w conversions, although I'm only just starting out using this method), but at the moment I seem to prefer selective colour instead. There are so many variables you can tweak to get it just right.

Does anyone know of any good selective colour tutorials out there?

Anyone got anything good for PSP and/or The Gimp?

 

[Firky]

I'd of thought the PS tuts would apply to Gimp.

PSP is crapola.

I often have a problem with tutorials because I want to know 'why' as well as 'how'. I've found this site pretty useful on the 'why' part of learning PP basics.
