How did you all learn to do this and what program do you use. I have P/S 6 or 7 and for the life of me can't figure out how to do it. I also have ArcSoft PhotoStudio that I use but can't get anywhere near the effects and look of the ones you guys are making.

Please help a dummy out! [:'(]

Thanks!

Here's some examples from the program I use but the ones I've seen here are the BOMB!!

 

just search for texture/background tutorials. recently ive been using the texture section of the photoshop part of tutorialized.com

 

pro i really like the last two you did.

 

me i have only used a tutorial maybe 2 or 3 times for a sig but the rest is all just trial and error

 

Yeah but I can't even figure out how to navigate the program. [:'(]

 

i use different tutorials all the time so i dont keep getting the same effects... it also helps me figure out the odds and ends that i already didnt know about the program

try this:

some of the stuff isnt always straight forward, but they usually try to explain it as much as possible. just let us know if youre stuck on somethin and we'll try and help ya out.
