I know my sig says "sting." But I would like to soften the sting of these comments if you feel offended at all.
That is not the intention nor spirit. We have skilled, experienced, awesome members here who really want to help teach and guide. They give critique, advice, suggestions, make individual tutorials. We would really like to see the progressive results of the requester. Many times people come back and post their works after trying to put this advice into effect. When people don't, we just shrug and hope they've gone on to learning, even if it is unmannerly not to continue the dialogue and exchange of ideas. Which we as artists do by sharing our work with one another.
On the other hand, when you come here with request after request for guidance, but don't show us if you've learned anything from one to the next, we get irritated. We are above still trying to give you civil advice, but I think I hear the tone changing and rightfully so. How about a show of good faith and posting results from your other requests?
We are right on the mark by saying you don't appear to have the basic understanding of design principles, much less have understanding of the operation of PS software, nor the practice that is part of the effort needed to learn Photoshop.
Maybe I just added more sting rather than softened anything after all! But I think you really need to understand and respect the purpose of this forum.
We would love to help you learn. We want to help you. Absolutely. But we want to know if our advice is producing any results and you could share those with us. Maybe you need more guidance in those areas. That would really help move you forward. After awhile, giving the same critique over and over to one degree or another is bound to make us wonder if what we say is falling on deaf ears. So, prove us wrong!
