Pretty good tut, but you should crop the pictures and remove all the white space around them. Make it as 56k friendly as possible

how do i crop in photoshop?
to ne one who uses this plz post your outcome!

The one under the lasso tool :P

thanks, ill makes sur to crop and make this more 56k safe

Thanks for the tutorial SBA. I always wondered about that. How do you give it a color besides hue or color balance?

in blending options there is a section from color over lay, but if your border is too dark it wont change much

Im Going To Try this really soon ones im done doing my others ones ill post my outcome when i do

:( no work for me!

r u following all steps?
