So yeah, my first try at making a tutorial. This is for because shes been coloring with colored pencils, and now she wants to learn PS. I leant her the CD. yadda yadda yaddaa~
So yeah, she is all confuzzled about layers. So IM here to help her out. ^^-

These are some of the Hotkeys for PS
Brush sizes:
[ :makes brush smaller
] :makes brush bigger

Zoom:
CTRL - :zoom out
CTRL + :zoom in

CTRL Z :Undo *My fave! ^^*

CTRL A :Select All
CTRL X :Cut
CTRL C :Copy
CTRL V : Paste

(Just for you people who are wondering, these hotkeys can also work on Painter. I use Painter 9, but it should work in any version.)

*EDIT*
-Sorry about this. But AFTER I made the tutorial, I then realized a new way of duplicating your layer. You can drag your layer to the "add a new layer" icon thing at the bottom of your layers box. Im SORRY! I hope you guys know where it is.. You better.. >w< If you have any questions. jus comment.

P.S-I know that I made a few mistakes somewhere, this Tutorial is meant for all the Photoshop n00bs out there. But others may find some helpful tips. BTW. I LOVE to see whut you guys can do after lookin at my tut! >w< Put the link up here, and Ayl check it out! Cuz m thinkin of complining all your great deviations, then putting it up! >w<

HOPE THIS HELPED YOU GUYS!!

-EDIT2-
Uhm. I made this quite a while back, and now I have my tabby. But you can still ask me about this. ^^ I do some traditional media every now and then.
