Thanks for the welcome, and thanks for the links! I'll definitely check em' out.
*Edit
About that tutorial, I was having trouble with the text part. I'm not at all familiar with CS4's interface. Took me awhile just to find where I can change the settings of my brushes!
Anyways, I got to the part where you were working on a focal point with sparks coming from spidey's hands. And was totally lost, so I skipped to the text. Wasn't quite detailed as I was hoping. But none the less it got me started on the right track. If you have anymore it would be great if you could post links for me. Otherwise I'll probably come across it.
