E said on 2008-12-02 12:12:15 You skip a lot of steps in the explanation, which makes it hard to follow. All tutorials on this site are like that. Why? It sucks! |
|

Thanx. |

Dave said on 2009-03-09 16:03:42 Thanks for the great tutorial, it really helps a lot. The only issue I have is that the original that you provided seems to already have quite a bit of post-processing. |
