no avatarI need some help here!
Step 5: do i make a new layer for the gradient? do i paste the photo in? or do i work on it
seperately?
Step 6: how i'm i supposed to guess the proportions in the alpha channel?
step 8: after i do the color halftone effect, and i select the black part and go back to layers to
delete, it doesn't end up like on the tutorial...it's just...white.
