Attached Link: AEGIPAN's First Tutorial : Smoothing Skin (¨Part I - Work in Progress )
Hello World !As I promised, I've started to write some tutorials about digital photography: from "before the click" to "after the click" of the shutter button.
I would like to have some comments about the first 4 pages I've written ( I know there are only 4 pages but I'm still working on it ):
learn.aegipan.net/en/tuts/01/p001.html
Is it clear enough ?
I must say that I've some limitations ( i.e. : I want to preserve the "look-and-feel" of my website ( colors, typo ... www.aegipan.net)
During the writing process, some ideas still come to my mind but before I get lost in my ideas, I need your opinion and some motivation from the readers.
Thanks for reading me.
Peace.
AEGIPAN

thanks for doing this, I am sure that many will find it very useful. It is a little hard to read the text though, and I had to click the content advisory for since you are showing partial nudity there.

Oops that's true I've forget the nudity "flag". I will change the text ASAP, Italic writing isn't easy to read, that's true. Thanks for your reply.

Please tell me that at the end of the tutorial she doesn't look like a rest of the overly photoshopped plastic women you see on the web!

No, don't worry. My "smoothing" method preserves the natural aspect of skin. ( i.e: textures, ... )
Of course, it's a general method, you can always adjust the "smoothing" effect.

Thanks for taking the time to write the tutorial,I for one look forward to reading the rest of it and others you may write.
We know it takes time to do this but I am sure there will be many who appreciate it and also learn new methods with Photoshop.

Upto page 7 there's a link on the end of the text to goto the next page, after that you can only advance with the links on the top. Not a showstopper, but it's not consistent.
I think this can be made into an action. Just select the parts you want corrected and fire off the action :)

You seem to have made the corrections needed for smooth sailing through the tut. Thanks so very much for this one, fine work! I wrote and submitted a tut not long ago and believe me, I did agonize during the writing process and editing. Mine did not rely on captures of windows and areas used in software and you did well in that making the steps clear to me. For those who have not written a tutorial, the process is not easy in any regard.
I truyly appreciate the tutorial and the work actually needed to put it into form to share. Many thanks. TomDart.
PS. I am glad to see more tuts being added to the photo area of 'rosity. The tuts are a beneficial resourse for different aspects of the photography directions one may take.

Thanks for all of your comments. And that's true, making tutorials ask a lot of time ( that's the frustrating part) but if it can help someone ...It will make me happy.
Long Life to RR.

Looks interesting, thanks for doing that! I still see serifed text though, a bit hard to read. ;'D

Thank you for this tutorial. I just used it on a picture I took of my wife yesterday. The link is below if you were interested in how it turned out. How do you do the whole body? Do you just keep doing the same thing in small areas like the forehead just all over the body? I can't wait to read the next tutorial.
Thanks Much,
