		| | They could have taken the .zip off for ya, and you spelled minimise wrong. It should be minimize, but other than that it's a great tut for those that don't know how. Good work Roz.

 Depends on whether you speak real English or that weird American English ;)

		| | Cool, Roz.  I only glanced at it for now.  I assume it will teach us how to be as creative as you are? :-)

		| | a friendly bump for this excellent tutorial |

		| | Nice tutorial, but I would have liked to see a side-by-side of the original vs edited version. | 
 |

		| | Thanks, Roz!  To think I tried to do this without any guidance at all.  Typical guy I guess.  I'm having fun now... 
 |

		| | Thanks, Roz!  I will go over that again when I have more time. 
 One thing... I would like to have a 'finished product' shot to view... or maybe I missed that??
 
 Thanks bunches for doing that for us!

		| | this tutorial was meant only as a guide to show how to incorporate a texture/overlay into another photograph .. it wasnt meant to show a before and after ..
 thought i'd clarify that after seeing a couple of the comments .. i hadnt been back to this thread coz there hadnt been any activity, so i only noticed now ..
 i just hope its helpful and please dont hesitate to ask if you have any more questions .. :)

		| | Hi Roz, the tutorial is very good, thank you for being so detailed with all the steps. I do agree however that it would have been nice to have seen a finished photo. It left an otherwise professional quality tutorial feeling unfinished. Still a great tutorial! You do lovely macro work. |

		| | I wish it showed some kind of finished product. Since I am new to the whole "overlays" thing.

		| | Thanks Roz for a great tutorial.  Now, I have a "still learning" question concerning use of overlays.  Are they allowed in "advanced" editing?  I can't seem to find an answer looking through past forums.  If the answer is there, just point me in the right direction.  I have learned so much from this site, especially reading through the forums and using the tutorials.  Thanks for any help for a slow learner. |

		| | Great tutorial Roz! For those of you who are making do with PSE like me especially an older version, (I hear PSE 9 finally has layer masks!) Anyway I have found a way around it, I thought I would share: Once layering your texture over your photo and selecting your layer style, instead of masking over areas where you don't want the texture, simply use the eraser tool, on around %30 opacity, to erase the parts of the texture you don't want to show, like on a persons face. You simply scrub away with the brush size of your choice, until the texture is the way you want it. It is a lot more limited than layer masks, but it works fairly well. I can't wait to use all the new textures you gave us the link to, great collection!

		| | Can we use commercial textures in our submissions, or do we need to have taken the photo of the texture ourselves? |
