    to be honest, i don't have a specific source, well it's all from online. i just get tips and tricks from friends who are experienced. and also find sites online that teach photoshop, i would say i've visited sites in the hundreds. even though i don't use all the tools from PS or all the tricks i've learned from online, i still love to surf around and learn. i'll suggest a few good sites for you when i get home. and also, when i first started i would get a poster which is already photoshopped [example: fanfic posters] and find the same pics from the poster and try to create the same outcome. it teaches you how or where to place your photos. but of course you don't use it, cause that would be wrong. but it's always good for practicing. ^_^

    and if you need more brushes and fonts just let me know. these two are very important tools to finalize your work ~_^

    Gugu, how you do it to create those lines all over the image, like this image you create:

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r220/baccardixx/amorningstroll.jpg')

    the diagonal lines? you have to make them yourself, it's really easy.

    1. open a new sheet, make it 3x3 pixels. also make sure to make your background content 'transparent'.

    2. then zoom in as much as you can.

    3. select your pencil tool. set the; brush: 1px, mode: normal, opacity: 100%

    4. select the color white for your pencil.

    5. now you just go and make a diagonal line from lower left to upper right. you should make 3 blocks on the sheet.

    6. now go to 'edit' then down to 'define pattern'. and a little screen should pop up asking you to name the pattern. i would name it 'white diagonal'.

    AND YOU'RE DONE!


    so now, let's test it out. ^_^

    1. open an image.
    2. create new layer. make sure you create a new layer and not a duplicate of the image. ^_^ Layer->New->Layer or 'shft+ctrl+N'
    3. select your paint bucket tool.
    4. then go up to the settings and make sure it's on 'Pattern', if it's on 'foreground' change it. then click on the drop down next to that and find your pattern that you created! mode:normal and opacity:100%.
    5. now double check to see that your new layer is highlighted and then just go and hit onceon the image! and there you go! if the lines are too intense you can play around with the opacity down on the right lower corner and also try setting it to 'screen' and 'multiply' and other cool features. it's so much fun.

    *NOTE: if you don't see your brush right away you might have to close out of your photoshop and restart it*

    you're doing so much more things! i'm proud of you dear.
    but more hyori's pic i wouldn't go so heavy on sepia and stuff. since her pic is already 'dull' looking. i would try to make her face look 'cleaner' and pop it out more. here's what i did. and also, try to match your fonts so to the look of the image. don't have it stand out so much. it'll look unprofessional. pick a color that's already in the image and try to keep it low on opacity, because you want the picture to do the talking not the words. and i should of had hi-lighted her hair but i'm so tired right now. so i didn't bother.

    Noo, don't compare me with GuGu hehehe, I'm embarassed , I'm just started learning it myself. GuGu is the sifu here. She got great photoshop skills. About the lightning effect, I doesn't do anything, I only use Xenofex effect plugin. Just a click and voila!.

    One must have the plugin, which is a commercial version and not included in a normal photoshop. I download the cracked one from usenet. There are hundreds of those and guides etc on usenet.
