Damn Skwa, I used to think I was OK with photoshop........Now I see you have a PhD in it and a Nobel Prize!!! You are the undisputed king of photoshop for this forum, that much I know!!!

What software are you using? Is it only photoshop? You seem to have some insane plu-ins if that's the case, what are you using?Don't tell me you are using bare bones-PS or just an Apple i-photo or something!

I am trying to fish out a picture myself but you know what would be helpful? Is there any way you could provide a basic tutorial for some of us amateur photoshoppers to have a better understanding how you do this so well. I have a BASIC idea of what you are doing here but I know you have some magic skills up your sleeve. Maybe more people can practice and even contribute and do their takes for the people who are on line here. It would be cool to see different people's renditions of the same pic/car. One thing I am really trying to perfect is that HDR look. Any tips??

Thanks for the kind words, lol! Believe it or not, I only really use one of the extra plug-ins I have to get some of the effects you see. In the past I've used Flaming Pear, Eye Candy, and a few others, but now, if and when I use a non Adobe filter, I use a program called Virtual Photographer by OptikVerve Labs. It's a free download.

I really don't use filters too much because I think it looks, well, like all you did was use a filter, lol. I now rely mainly on layer styles and brush styles. A good example is the pic I did with the flames in the background. That's all brushwork. I used a combination of color burn, dodge, and multiply with a few tones of yellow and orange with a couple of different brushes.

I've learned quite a few tricks over the years and I'd be more than happy to share them with everyone.

Maybe I should start a new thread with just tutorials. It can be like this thread, except people can post questions on how to do a certain effect or manipulation. Like: "How did you do _____?"

Hahaha, ok, I guess this will be the first tutorial that will go on my future thread, lol. I'll put together a similar pic with a step by step hopefully within the next couple of days.

You're on the list, I just haven't uploaded the most up to date list yet. So if anyone posted requests after my post containing the list on pg 6, you are on the updated list, which I will post asap.
