Nice tutorial, though I get the feeling that it is for those who have played with sigs, but have yet to become overly skiled(rather than for pure beginers). Basically a tutorial for novices.


Most people who qualify as beginners that I know in person would have gotten lost. My computer book says it best, "You must assume they know nothing and to walk them through every step holding thier hand; as well as using visual aids at every corner when possible"(paraphrased since the actually book isn't with me at the moment). Part of what you miss is the visual aid of the tools as you yourself was asking about. Other bits inlude edited photos. don't be afraid to put red(or any color that stands off) circles or marks at the places you want thier attention to be. This will help your explaination of what the effect did.

Basically what happens is that a full tutorial for someone new to the scene(which is what I see a beginner as[there are of course lvls of beginners, the green ones and the vetrens, and there is a big gap of knowledge difference there]) requires a lot of effort and time to be put in.

Anyways, I know I get anal about amount of detail in a tutorial(and I hate myself cause I cut corners when I shouldn't); however, you did ask for some critique on it so there you go.

Now, for someone who knows a bit about playing with images and has enough knowledge to understand everything without having thier hands held(whether it is a veteran beginner, a novice, or a very ambitious and innovative beginner) this is a real cool tutorial.
