06.04.08 11:01 pmThis made me fall back in love with Photoshop!
I’ve been using PhotoImpact (mostly) for the little things and Photoshop only when I have to. But having done this, I’m hungry for more. It is true what they say: There is noth you can’t do with Photoshop!
A really great tutorial, thank you!

12.04.08 4:18 pmI wonder if it is just a coincidence that PSDTuts.com published the same type of tutorial on the SAME DAY as you. Too bad theres was much better. Maybe you should come up with your own work instead of stealing the ideas of others, you hack. Quit polluting the internet with this stolen tripe.
giackop
12.04.08 5:55 pmYou should check on psdtuts.. I said there on a comment that i was creating a very similar effect at the same time.. I’m not this good to create an effect and make the tutorial in one day.. It’s a pure coincidence but i don’t care if you believe it or not.. I wont remove your comment because I’ve nothing to hide.. If you don’t like it just don’t come here..

Jonathan Solichin
02.05.08 3:20 amCool! I’ve also had a technique that has a similar result to this. But because my photoshop didn’t have fibers, i used mezzotint instead. I’ve written a tutorial on it on psdtuts. Sorry if this seems like advertisements. I think it’s interesting to see others doing the same thing with a different method
giackop
02.05.08 3:43 amI know Jonathan.. I was finishing this tutorial the very same day as your tutorial on psdtuts.. that’s cool.. we had almost the same idea at the same time.. thanxs for visiting the blog..

16.09.08 6:37 amThis tutorial was really cool. some time i got amazed my self that how professional people get the result out from the filters. by the way do you know when you are applying filters that what type of result will occur as outcome and according to your desire.

30.10.09 11:25 pmI liked this tutorial, but I think you should be more descriptive. I also think you should explain the step better because they are a little bit hard to understand for us that we are beginners. sorry for the inconvenience but that is my opinion!!!!!!
