august 12 Two more tutorials: using smart objects (cs2) and the guassian blur (elements & cs2). wow, i just realized that i've made 5 tutorials in the past three days. i'm on a roll! hehe
august 11 Another tutorial: blending. This works for Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop Elements. Also, I listed some more tutorials in the CS2 section. Most of them were from the old Elements tutorials, but work for CS2 as well.
august 10 Welcome to the new and improved Ameera's Tutorials! I'm going to start writing some tutorials for Photoshop CS2 along with the ones for Elements xD Oh, and isn't the layout pretty? I made seven layouts before I made one that I liked... lol. Oh, and there's two new tutorials for Elements: shortcut to cutouts and making text manipulations (also for cs2).
july 10 I've noticed that the banners weren't working. They're fixed now though, so feel free to add them to your page:) Also, I've created my own [design gallery] :D
july o8 Two more tutorials: smoothing the rough edges on cutouts and cool pic effects. I think the pic effect tutorial is my favorite yet-- go check it out;)
Also, I'm going to be away July 9-10, so you all will have to get by without me^^
later Another new tutorial; fading. You guys have been requesting this one:) Oh, and I set up the page with free avatars. They're nothing much, but they'll due for now. I'll start free layout... tomorrow.. maybe? Yes, I think tomorrow will be good. I'm going to be away for the weekend without internet, but I'll have my laptop, so I can make lots of layouts then:D
july o7 New design! I've pretty much been working on the site all day. You now have four new tutorials: Reducing noise (smoothes your pic), cropping the background, using textures, and installing fonts. I've also added two new sections to the site, one of them being information on the staff and another being the links page. There you can find links to information on Photoshop, image hosting sites, web hosts, stock photography, free fonts, and a few of my favorite sites;)
Oh, and have you looked at the counter? (under the chat box) Since I reopened the site last night, it's had over 380 hits. Thanks so much to everybody who's keeping the site a great hit:D
july o6 Re-opened the site:)
