Great tutorial, it taught me a lot. Thanks soo much!! There were somethings you werent very specific about. For example, how do you create a curve layer? I was able to create a layer and add the image adjustment "curve" but the layer didnt look the same as your screen, or how to make the mask Black. everytime I create a mask it shows up white ^_^ pls help

@carcas302 Hi, pleased you liked it, for the curves, just make an adjustment layer with the curve option. and make a curve shape at about 4mins 22secs it should show you. I did make an extra one on top from the looks of it to make the highlights brighter.

for the mask when it comes up as white, fill the area with black with the bucket tool.

Hope this helps :)

could i ask about the left panel ( what is this )

if you have a link for a good res video , if its possible.

[mitchellnelsontuts]

@drahmedbelal Well the left pannel is just the history bar. I use CS3 so you can arrange the tools into bars and pannels. The other ones on the left are Brushes, and Tools. I cant send a higher res video, because the file is too big. But if you full screen the video or make it larger, the layout will be clearer.

As far as the possible job, what would this involve?

@officiallaybare Very sorry about that, the original tutorial was intended for advance users of PS. I hope though you found some elements useful.
