[krix3l]

asdfghjkl this doesn't work Q____Q

There's no layer mask button thing and that thing with ALT doesn't work either ><

......yay for Gimp, The photoshop for dumb idiots like me Q____Q

[TutorVidCom]

@krix3l which version of photoshop are you using?

[TutorVidCom]

sorry, I see you are using elements. Photoshop elements doesn't offer the option of adding a layer mask to a regular layer. It only has them on adjustment layers.

[krix3l]

this dragging thing doesn't work o.o

I've got Photoshop elements 8.0 but asdfghjkl ._.

Amazing.

I have a Piercing. :P

haha :P

[iLoveDinoRawrsz]

Great tutorial, but I would definitely scale those piercings down a bit, the bottom of the piercing would be at the bottom of your lip, those are like halfway down to her chin. I would also recommend using the dodge & burn tools instead of curves (if your aiming for a more realistic look).

You sound more manly then you look LOLOLOL

[Bubbles2cute4u]

What is photoshop and how do you get it...I know i sound really stupid right now!

[TutorVidCom]

@Bubbles2cute4u Photoshop is a program for editing photos and you get it at adobe.com. It is quite expensive though so if you are thinking of buying an editing program I would suggest starting with Adobe Elements.

I don't have that button you pressed at 1:58 and it's just painting black over the part i want to edit, i created a layer mask but i don't know what to do >_<. help!

[TutorVidCom]

@iwantarocketship That button at 1:58 creates the layer mask. I guess you figured it out since you say you created a layer mask. It is probably painting black because you are painting on the image part of the layer and not on the layer mask part of the layer. I did a tutorial just on layer masks, check that out.

[Mrthestyle1]

hmmmm, tho it eould look more realistic

[WickedScream666]

3:14 I don't have that button !

Any idea where would that button be in CS2? x3

[TutorVidCom]

@WickedScream666 If you hold down the ALT key and move the mouse to the line between the two layers, I think you'll see a symbol appear, then you can click and the two layers will be linked. Let me know if that doesn't work.

[WickedScream666]

@TutorVidCom Yeey thank you! It worked :D

[FuckNormality]

i have a new version of photoshop, and i dont have the "layer mask"-button. then what do i do? please help

[bruklynthompson]

So i have Photoshop Cs3 and when I opened up the curves to adjust the "lighting" on the piercing it didn't have the little key that you have on Cs5; how do I adjust it on Cs3 to only adjust the lighting on the piercing??

[RockeetShips]

what version of photoshop is this?

[TutorVidCom]

@RockeetShips Photoshop CS5

[ammmyy100]

hey, i have a problem if someone can help me. at 1:55 i pressed the button and selected the brush, but then it pained black on the picture, and i don't no what did i do wrong. i watched the video a lot of times but i cant figure out what i'm missing :( help me please??

[TutorVidCom]

@ammmyy100 Did you create the layer mask? It sounds like you are painting on the actual layer and not the layer mask. Do a search for "tutorvidcom layer mask" if you don't get how layer masks work.
