The Tutorial Tutorial

Welcome to "The Tutorial Tutorial", in this thread I will be teaching you how to properly make a signature tutorial. Follow the directions here and you will have the knowledge to make your own when ever you like.

-Making a signature tutorial is very easy, all you have to do is provide step by step instructions with examples and you are made in the shade.

-To add your step by step images you should also have some screen shots of how you did it in photoshop. To do that all you have to do is shift>print screen, then simply copy and paste it to a new image in photoshop.

-Staring your tutorial is also a very good idea, because if give others an idea of how hard it is to make the final product. Remember to rate your tutorial using either 1-5 stars.(one being easy and 5 being hard)


With the instructions out of the way I have made a tutorial as an example, just so that you can get an idea of how to make one yourself.



Example:

ONE STAR



file>new or ctrl>n to make a new image.



choose the resolution that you want and make the new image, then use your paint bucket tool to fill it with black.





make a new layer by clicking on the icon located at the bottom of your layer menu, then use your elliptical marquee tool to make a circle and fill it with your color of choice using the paint bucket. (remember to press shift when using the elliptical marquee tool to make a perfect circle)

make a new layer, and put in some circles and position them where you want.
