Great Tutorial as I picked up a lot on information BUT the Dog was the star Must get rid of the chap and it will be perfect!!
Again a great tutorial. I especially liked lesson 4 and 5, very useful for me. Keep on PHLearning!
Great content as always! Showing the methods that may not be the most efficient before the better option is valuable in helping us all to develop a deeper understanding/knowledge of Photoshop. Thanks PHLEARN team! Stay safe all …
Great training. I thought you would touch on other export options. I would like to know is it possible to export out as a vector (eps) so that the image has a transparent background and can be scaled for large sign printing? This is the only reason why I use illustrator.
I always enjoy Phlearn’s tutorials, they have really helped my PS skills. Now I feel like I can design my very own photography logo, thanks!!
