BY...doing this tutorial you are agreeing to the Terms of Use
Please
make sure you have read them.
This tutorial uses a different
technique. You will only see the canvas in the downloaded file.
Everything you need is on the canvas. Make sure you have your Layer
Palette visible. You will Load from the Alpha Channel (not Selections).
Supplies are HERE
I would consider this tutorial
more advanced because of the use of the Retouch Tool to add detail.
I left a background layer
for you to flood fill to help you see better. You can delete this
layer before merging.
