Interesting tutorial, a bit sparse for beginners though.

Yeah took me a while to work out that he meant use the dodge tool to bring out the detail, which is the key..

I need to spend more time on this as I saw the end and rushed the dodge tool, stupid as the result looks really half-arsed

I'd share it but it looks bad, i'd rather wait till it's sorted.

Also you can use alt + click when in the dodge mode to burn, ie do the opposite. quite hard to explain but youll get it if you do it in the tutorial.

yeah i'm getting there...still sKetChy as fork but i'm not really feeling very creative tonight...I blame other people naturally, i mean why not?

i've got the idea down anyway, so I know how to do it now...it's really easy as long as the source images are clean, or you've cleaned them well - which I didn't.
