Seriously...... Answer people when they need your Help, theres countless of comments regarding the second part of this Tutorial. Since you did not explain it well at all. You can at least answer their questions....... Other than that, it's a good tut.. besides the middle part.

I want to do that too, but I have problems to understand this tutorial plus I only have german version what it makes even harder to find the tools.

The second part I don't understand what went wrong. I did everything the tutorial said to do but when I apply the filter the dots don't show up at all like they are supposed to. I unlocked the layer. So what am I doing wrong?

new layer, paint the whole layer the color of your choice, create clipping mask over the dots!

Hey, I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I tried to do the Greek one but my picture came out like this [link]
Is there something else I have to do so the picture will stand out infront of the background? (that's the whole reason I don't do backgrounds is because I can never figure that out...)

I don't understand why it won't work...after the blur, it won't pixelate and i don't understand what you mean by selecting the dark part and then expand(??) the selection...?? please can you explain that part to me...??

Hi!
You must make it on new Channel not in Layer Clict to Channels and make one new. And later you can make like in this tutorial

I don't get what you mean by "combination of various colors can be made by combining the color of the layer with the mode"
Maybe a picture would help?

indigo1202 In reply to ??? [2009-12-28 23:01:52 +0000 UTC]

hii! this is soo cool and helpful, but I'm still confused on how you can make it two different colors, like for example, the dots are blue and the background is light blue?

Thank you!

This is a very nice tutorial
However, on number 2, I'm having some issues. I understand how to lock the transparent pixels and paint it black, but how do I do the last steps where you're supposed to expand it and paint it out again to blur it?
