Out Of Bounds Shadows-Mini Tut
11/18/2005
This is an update of an old mini tut, inspired by the beginning of the then new Out Of Bounds contest format. There were quite a few images using an incorrect or impossible shadow treatment. While there are considerably fewer entries containing this mistake I felt it might be of some help, to beginners particularly, to update it. Essentially this is intended to be of some help to those who are either beginners to graphics programs or new to the OOB concept and would appreciate some very, very basic advice.

As in all image manipulations there are usually several ways to do the job. When doing an invisible this is particularly true. It depends on the original image and what needs to be replaced.

Yet Another Colorization Tutorial
5/5/2003
Variety is the spice of life, and with that in mind, I offer you yet another colorization tutorial. This one uses a different method than either of the previous tutorials (CMYK curves adjustment layers), one that I feel is slightly easier than either of the other two methods while still acheiving good results. This tutorial is for PS7, as I have no working knowledge of PSP (sorry). I also use PC, but it is nearly the same on a Mac.

Primary Colorizing
3/25/2003
Because I have been promising to do it for months, and I finally got around to taking some screenshots while explaining it to someone, here it is. It works in either PaintShopPro or Photoshop, and I can't imagine why you couldn't do it in any image editor that supports layer masks, because that's pretty much all you need. It's very easy, once you get the hang of it, and imo, produces more lifelike, realistic results than colouring each object separately does.
