Excellent Tutorial.In Step 8, you have stated that -- "Set your foreground color to white. You can just click on
that arrow near your foreground & background colors to switch the colors.
Now fill the square you just drew with white by doing an alt+backspace." I suggest -
Alt+Backspace/or Alt+Delete. Hope you admit it.

I made this tutorial for everyone to understand including anyone who has just started usingPhotoshop Lahiripartha.
I don't need to admit anything as there is nothing wrong with it, and if your trying to teach your
grandmother how to suck eggs you are barking up the wrong tree.

I made a suggestion after reading the Tutorial "POSTAGE STAMP CREATOR" written by you. Ifyou hurt by any means, I feel sorry for that. You are a great photoshopper and also an artist. I
respect your work. I am still learning. So, I have no audacity to teach you. I apologised for my
suggestion.
