@jwbjerk, oh, I see. Unfortunately I'm not sure what to suggest in that case.

@Josephgene, I wish I could give you more guidance, but my situation is just the reverse: I am only familiar with GIMP, not Photoshop. I'm sure that there is a Photoshop equivalent to every step in my tutorial, but I'm not sure what they are (except that whereas at one point I use "Bump Map" in my tut, I think in PS the equivalent is something like Emboss or Lighting effects). I'm not sure what to tell you about the tutorials over at the Wilbur site (although I go over some of the same steps in my Eriond tut). If you want to try out the tutorial though I'd recommend continuing to put up WIP pics in your Corth Thread and if/when you get stuck on one of the steps, explain where you are stuck in your thread (and/or PM me) and I'll try to explain what the idea is and see if you can figure out how to accomplish it in Photoshop). One final suggestion I have is to have a look at Jezelf's Photoshop Tutorials, which go over some of the same techniques I use, only for Phostoshop. This might help you translate my tutorial better. Best of luck to you.

Cheers,
