There has happened a lot since Photoshop 5, but i think the basics are more or less the same..

Photoshop 6 is (obviously) closer to version 5 or 5.5, so those tutorials you should be able to use without too much trouble.



Here's some of my Photoshop work... in case you are interested:

[oosacker]

I have to say I took a while to learn photoshop

 

[CDailey]

ok.I actually IMed Bryce22 and he walked me through the color change.now i need your help with the lowering.

can you please explain it too me please?

 

[Klostrophobic]

Erm, just follow the instructions. I don't think it can get an easier.

 

[CDailey]

ok...i re-read over the instructions CAREFULLY and i found out what i was doing wrong.it says "Follow the lower edge of the body and continue to go outside your working space and select everything from the bottom up the car and up."what i was doing was selecting every below the selection instead of above! STUPID ME!

 

[CDailey]

ok...this is my 2nd ever shoped car ever!

before:

 

[CDailey]

after:

 

[Klostrophobic]

Just get rid of the cheap lens flare and fix up the edges of the car. They look sloppy.

Try to outline the car better and it will look a lot better.

 

[CDailey]

ok
ill try

 

[Klostrophobic]

It probably doesn't help that you are using such a small picture either. Try finding a nice big picture with good quality.

There are a bunch in various threads here.

 

[CDailey]

well...if you can kindly point me to a source of nice big hi-res pics then will do!

 

[CDailey]

any sites ppl??!!
