    Okay, I decided that perhaps there should be a place for some users to post tutorial links that they have made to help those who are either interested in new styles or just want to see some new effects.

    I've made an icon tutorial about a month ago so I thought that I'd share it here with those to improve styles and icons. I've posted it here at my graphic community and if you're interested, go ahead and check it out.

    So, anyone else have any tutorial's that they've created and are willing to share?

    Awesome idea, Jen!

    Well, I made one for Paint Shop Pro also about a month ago. It's about colors in depth, vibrant coloring, and also making your icons clear.

    The link that I will give you is to my icon journal, and here is the link to the tutorial : Colors in Depth Tut

    Please let me know if it helps you. It should be translatable to Photoshop, as I have both programs. :)

    Ok speaking of making Icons I know some make them in photoshop and others in Paint Shop Pro, but in your oppinions which would be the better of the two programmes for someone who is a bigginer like me at Macking Icons?

    Both are great programs. Both have their own specialties. But in my preference, Photoshop, it seems to me that it works the best. I know tuesdaymorning aka Jen^ makes her icons in PSP, and her icons are to die for.

    So it is really your preference. :)

    Yeah, it depends on what program seems to work better for you. I personally love Paint Shop Pro (I've got PSP X as of right now) because it's easier for me to work with. Both, as Shane has mentioned, offer different options and features but both work in either way.

    But if I were in your shoes, I'd start off with PSP.

    And awesome tutorial Shane! ;)

    Thanks Jen. ;) Another one is in the works.

    BigB, have you tried trial versions of both programs? To test both of them out?
