   this is meant as a reply for “Joe”’s comment on April 29:

   You could go to adobe.com. They have a pretty good site and it’s really easy to get to the photoshop page. There you can download a trial version that lets you fully try PS for 30 days and if you like it, you can buy it (the $$ info is on the site). I strongly encourage you to get PS as it is in my opinion the best image program on the market.

   There’s also a program called GIMP. its open-source, free, and (even though not as much as photoshop), has many functions.

   Wow Corey,
   amazing as always!
   The thing with your tutorials is that you always take it one step further than others, in this case it was that burning tool stroke trick. Really cool to watch you thinking over the tutorials you show here.
   Btw, is there a possibility to supply download links for your videos?
   The tutorials are so educating that i just want to collect them

   Nice one… Hei, Shawty, perhaps, and I don’t want to go all the way trough the tutorial, but he might have meant, after that, if you are on a pc, you might want to try instead of command the control key, and, if it was to remove the saturation of the leaf, it needs to be in color… Was it? Did you selected it? After that, press command, or control plus shift plus U and it should work fine, if not, in the other hand, go to the image menu, then desaturate, instead of the shortcut! Hope I had helped… And by the way, at least, if yuou want some help, try to write your words properly… I am portuguese and I try not to make mistakes… Try it yourself…

   Corey… Keep it up, man!
