http://www.good-tutorials.com/user/Trakoiram Trakoiram's tutorials with comments on Good-Tutorials.com. en-us I've got a couple of Photoshop books and neither one explained paths as clearly and in a less intimating fashion as this tutorials. Excellent. stak Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:44:09 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/23900/drawing-paths-and-making-selections-with-the-pen-tool-in-photoshop#comment-3254 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/23900/drawing-paths-and-making-selections-with-the-pen-tool-in-photoshop#comment-3254 Thanks, I always try to write with beginner Photoshop users in mind. There's plenty of tutorials out there for people who already know what they're doing, but they're not very useful for people who are still trying to learn the basics.

There are some where it gets bothersome... signature tutorials with the same old effects come to mind, but if it's a relatively unique tutorial that someone has already touched upon, I'm fine with listing it as long as it's not a blatant rip, obviously. There are a lot of people who visit Good-Tutorials, but some don't come every day to see every new tutorial. So you're right on the money, radicalrom. :) zachholman Wed, 01 Aug 2007 15:46:46 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/20904/create-an-optical-illusion-by-filling-a-photo-with-more-photos#comment-1778 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/20904/create-an-optical-illusion-by-filling-a-photo-with-more-photos#comment-1778 You will find most tutorials are some sort of similar to other ones out there on the web. I do not have a problem with new tutorials about the same subject. Go do a seach for "Fire Text" on the major tutorial sites and you find a lot of different tutorials. Most of them are similar steps due to the fact that certain areas have to be done to accomplish a certain result. As long as wording, pictures are not ripped from the other tutorial, I do not have a problem with new tutorials about the same subject. There are 2 main reasons I do not have a problem with the same subject covered. 1). Maybe the person never saw the first tutorial, so this is new to them. 2). Certain people have a knack for writing tutorials. I know personally there have been subjects that I could not follow, because it was poorly written. That is when I look for the second or third tutorial about the same subject. radicalrom Wed, 01 Aug 2007 15:32:00 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/20904/create-an-optical-illusion-by-filling-a-photo-with-more-photos#comment-1772 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/20904/create-an-optical-illusion-by-filling-a-photo-with-more-photos#comment-1772 I enjoyed the tutorial and appreciate Trakoiram making it available. If the mods are going to point out every tutorial that is the same or similar to others, you will be quite busy making those comments as there are quite a few related tutorials out there and at this site as well. If the tutorial has been accepted by good-tutorials then comments such as the mod made should not be put in the public view.

And so, this one is good tutorial anyway. i thing it could reach first page...

I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just saying that there's already a tutorial like that in the database. A 2nd one isn't needed imo. xiao Fri, 27 Jul 2007 19:43:41 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/20904/create-an-optical-illusion-by-filling-a-photo-with-more-photos#comment-1668 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/20904/create-an-optical-illusion-by-filling-a-photo-with-more-photos#comment-1668
