So, few days ago I was asked on my tumblr if I could make an editing tutorial on how I edit my pictures. I already have one speed up video tutorial but today I am going to explain everything in details. *I've changed a bit the way I edit so....

Umm, so before we start I want to make a few things straight and clear. I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended. Yes, I know it costs a lot but I got it for free, I have windows 7 operating system, it works for windows xp too because I had windows xp before windows 7 and that was about 2 months ago when I rebooted my system to windows 7.  Here are the links to the tutorials on how to get Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended for free:

Windows 7, XP, Vista version: here *IMPORTANT- If you are using win7 be sure to know whether you have win7 32 bit or 64 bit operating system, you can check that by right clicking on my computer and a window with specifications will appear. From there you should be able to find it.

MAC version: here

Before you continue reading this tutorial you should know that it is really long. The tutorial itself contains 30 detailed&explained steps, so it is your choice. :)

Yes you heard well, I'll be doing extreme photo editing tutorial. It's not for experts it's for intermediate users but by extreme I meant changing everything about a picture, it's colors, shadows, lights.... Everything, stay tuned. I won't be posting any simmies soon as I am using windows 7 now, I used windows xp earlier so I'll need sometime to get back my cc.

Hello simmers, I am finally uploading this video. This isn't a tutorial so don't ask me why there aren't any steps explained, this is just a speed-up video on how do I edit my own pictures. You will see that I used only two shading layers but that's because I didn't want to overreact with them, sometimes I make up to 30 layers depending on what I want to achieve.
