Tutorial Help

[JustInCredible]

I'm planning on making a tutorial but I dont know how to make one. By this I mean, I dont know how to copy a specific step of the picture and post it on the tutorial. Many people told me to print screen and such but is there a more effective way. Basically, I just need someone to teach me all the basic steps to make a tutorial.

Well when I made my tut I just copied the layer with a very thin 1 px border and pasted it on the tutorial canvas. But there is some cropping tool that works like printscreen. SpartanKiller has a tutorial on how to make a tutorial lol.

Lol, its called cropper, thanks for the reference XD

No, just hit Ctrl+A than Ctrl+Shift+C than paste it with Ctrl+V.

anybody that uses a Mac already has the cropper tool on board. it is under the key-combination:

cmd + shift + 4

When you making the tutorial you should say how it works.
Like if you use selective color then how can you imply it and how it works. basically say how to balance eachother out.

Just Unhide the layer by layer and paste it on then just explain what ya did.

I open up the PSD, hide all the layers and as I unhide each of the layers I save them as a normal png image. Then you'll have one image for each layer to use in the tut. For images of more specific areas, like for showing the gradient map or other adjustments, I use Winsnap.

Moved to the help section!

well.. besides the images i need to know a lot of other things like dimensions.. what if i use my whole canvas and i need more space?

also whats winsnap?

Winsnap is a screen capture program www.ntwind.com/software/winsnap.html

Use the crop tool to expand your cancaves if needed. Check out others tutorials to get some ideas and tips on how to do.

I usually start out wit 600-700 x 10000 pix, the expand if needed.
