For those of you that like the chick you saw used in this tutorial, she is a French ex-pornstar called Clara Morgane.

Could you please specify which version of Photoshop you are using in future so those of us who don't have the same version won't waste our time trying out a tutorial to find that we can't follow a step.

hi, thx 4 that tut.

my work: http://de.netlogstatic.com//p/oo/036/167/36167539.jpg

I loved the tutorial. I haven't worked on an image that seemed like it would work with the circular fade using the eliptical tool. Here are my pieces.

This is my work :)
http://cid-a801453caf2cec24.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Pictures/Kendi%2...

i dont get it..im stuck at step 4..
is this tut meant for cs3 only?

men your hot big up

Well, after spending 4 days trying this tutorial, i have learnt what the PEN tool does, i have learnt what a PATH is, i have learnt what a MASK is, i've learnt about LAYER STYLES, i've learnt about BRUSHES..

thank you!

this is my attempt at this tut

Excellent Effect, I congratulate them by the tutorial

At the end of it all... this was my creation.
I call it "Friend." :-)

http://abduzeedo.com/30-color-pattern-inspiration-bikinis

That link doesn't work :(

I think the steps with the cloud up to the point where its blended in with the rainbow effects are a bit unclear.
Perhaps because you are a professional you may not have realised that you missed a few basic instructions. :-)

Or... maybe I just need to read again.

Thanks for the tutorial

Great tutorial.. Thanks!

????~ ????? ??

Whats Hot in the Streets Right Now...

1st of all thx for this tutorial - but i think it would be better if it would have been explained much better. its just so short in detail, some parts are just missing, like where to choose the color, how to get to certain tools, i just got started but why in the world should i not be able to do this as well. would be nice of you to explain your tutorials in mor detail. thx though

1st of all, I would like to say thanks!!! Thanks for sharing this OMGAWESOME skill!! I've learn a lot from your tutorial! :)

HI I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF U CAN MAKE ME A PICTURE

awesome tut....but mine came out a lil diff

Chk it.

First of all, forgive me for my terrible English, I was thus somewhat exaggerated, but it was not bad, I made some changes but maintained the central idea of the photo. I am still newcomer therefore was not same to a picture of abduzeedo, thank you for everything, kisses :*

Adorei mais não achei
refine edge!!

awesome tutorials. any hope on getting video tutorials in the future? some of the techniques are above average and I did get stuck on a few. Would make an awesome dvd series or youtube. thanks once again.

mr.sifuentes

Abduzeedo do you add a color to the brush?

Because when i use it on the white layer, the brush strokes don't appear.

I did it! Thanks so much for this tut. You can find my example here:
www.hot-creations.com

bump please explain those steps cant get the cloud to not fill my screen

the chick is hot

I don't get it. Can't even make her glow like that on step 7..

Step 11 is a little uncleat to me.

I dont get the same sparkle effects.
Could you explain, please? I see more have this problem

Hmm I can't do step 11... When I'm trying to brush, I can't see it, help?

Hi,

Hi

if i wanted to put this on a differnet background with out loosing all the layer blending options how would i go about doing it?
Also is there a posibility that you could do a really quick tutorial on variations of the brushes as i have had some problems getting some different charecteristics into the burshes (The splattered glowing dots kind off thing).

Brilliant tutorial, i teach myself everything, from tutorials, and have become a bit of an advanced just from excellent tutorials like this one they really have helped me get good at photoshopping so much =D

Thanks a lot, Sam.
