Hey Puma, thanks! That place has a lot of great photos at high resolution, that will really come in handy!

PetGoat, those are really nice! You're off to a great start.

Skepsis, nice job on that horse. The edges on the face are really clean and the color is great!

To all the people that responded on the tutorial. Thanks and I'd glad it helped. Photoshop is very powerful and once you learn the hang of it, very quick to work with. The trick is just knowing which pieces of it you need to get something done and how to use them the easy way. I'll try to put together another video tutorial or two this week.

It is VERY addicting petgoat! Especially as the season goes on and we see all the annoying habits of the HG's.

Also this might help you a little bit. Here is a link where you can download all the cast photos in high resolution. You always want to work with the highest resolution images you can and things will stay more crisp.

Another helpful thing is to convert layers to "Smart Objects" in photoshop. This lets you resize and adjust things without losing detail. If you just drag a face into another image like in my tutorial and then resize it multiple times, it will lose detail each time you resize it. If you make it a smart object, you can resize all you want and you won't ever lose any detail. It will stay crisp.

To convert a layer to a smart object, just right click on the layer in the layers pallet and choose "Convert to smart object". Do that right after you drag it to the other image and you will be set!
