That's it, I'm indebted to the internet (not just for the easy tutorial above)... and addicted to youtube. It is my official tutor for photoshop.

Why else would I want to spend hours flipping through dogearred books for one effect when I can learn it for free under 10mins with step-by-step guidance? When u're handling the currency of time, u realize just how vital it is for business.
But this is not my main point.

With every skillset attained, comes the invaluable revelation of potential in each of the tools and applications used in that tutorial. This naturally leads to "what happens if I do this before that" and before I know it, I have created an effect I don't even have a name for. With the endless possibilities and permutations, no wonder it doesnt make sense to write just 1 comprehensive manual -- new ones are being uncovered every second.

In the world of Photoshop, a definition for "mistake" does not exist... cos nothing is a mistake and everything is a creation. To me, this is art... and my playground for 2009 & many years to come ;p

It's the day-to-day stuff like this that make me realise how amazing God is.
One earnest prayer for creativity and He gives you a simple revelation to blow ur mind away and keep u inspired to keep trying when the going gets tough. Man, He's awesome!
