Wow this is one collage of a manipulation lol......

Please don't hate me for what I'm about to say lol. I will bear in mind that this is your first go AND you lost the .psd.

First off, you have way too many stocks. My advice is keep it simple and then practice lighting, blending and shadowing. Also, try and get high quality stocks, I normally go to dA for them.

I say to people who have just started manips, use a single background image then practise adding a model in there and make it look like he/she is really in the picture. This sounds easy, but it actually takes some skill and a good eye. Practise, practise and then practise some more lol. If you ever need ANY help at all, I'm here to help.

Don't let the unfortunate events of losing .psd's put you off from doing more manips.

Thanks Inkz... Don't hate anyone..

everything is a learning process for me .. And any comments good or bad are welcome.. helps people lean, I know i used a lot of stocks,was trying to achieve to much to soon i think. i do struggle on getting the colors of different images to blend together.. I never know if i should use levels,or curves, hue and saturation, so on and so on..

then i see photo filters, gradient maps , just get lost... I am not very patient when doing Photoshop if things don't go right. In a way i'm glad i lost that psd.. i won't keep going back and doing more to it. I just can't leave things alone until they are right.

DA , is that Deviant Art ? didn't realize you could use stocks from there outside of Deviant...I am not a member.. Thats where all the good guys go.. not there yet..

Thanks Inkz and for the advice..
