Artist's Comments

Part 4 of the SO YOU WANT TO BE A PHOTOMANIPULATOR series.

This part teaches you how to cut out characters and objects. Please consider faving and/or commenting if you find this helpful. Then I know it's worth doing more!

Part 1 is Creating a Resource Library
Part 2 is Understanding Image Size & Quality
Part 3 is Using Perspective & Light

Full library of my tutorials: [link]

Download for full size. I'm open to questions and suggestions for additional tutorials, but please be polite.

You may NOT repost this anywhere without explicit written permission. If you wish to translate it into another language, please ask and I can send you my original Photoshop file for you to work with.

This tut uses stock from :iconintergalacticstock:, which I can't recommend highly enough. You can see the completed photomanip I did with this image called Bad Planning.

I keep trying to get to the third part, but it keeps saying the file cannot be found...

And this is awesome. I was thinking about starting to get into photomanipulation, since my camera is gone for god knows how long, and I need some form of artistic expression.

Woops! Sorry about that and thanks for letting me know -- I fixed it and it should work now.

I'm glad you like the tutorials. I appreciate your :+devwatch: and the :+fav:s!!

If anything in the tuts is unclear or you have other things you think might be helpful, let me know. I already added a new one for another friend who's learning. There's a link from Cutting Out the Pieces (above), or you can use this one: [link]

Since you do photos yourself...it's so much fun to photomanip your own stuff, I think. So you'll have even more fun than most. If that's possible. ;)

Thanks for the note!!!

Thank you so much!

Yeah, I was thinking that myself, but unfortunately my camera is not in my possession and I have no clue when I'll be getting it back. It's the main reason why I'm trying to get into this.

I'm so glad to hear that!!! If there are specific things/techniques you're confused about/would like to learn , I'm open to suggestions for additional tutorials! Consider it an open offer for the future if you don't have any ideas now. :)

Thanks again for the note, I really appreciate it!! :flirty:
