A copy of Adobe Photoshop resides on my computer and it has been sitting there now for about 18 months, but I barely know how to use it. It's not for the want of trying but I just find most Photoshop tutorials to be completely incomprehensible. Layers? All I want to do is add the faces of my ex-girlfriends to photos of naked porn stars and then blackmail them - how difficult can that be?! ;-)

I seem to have mastered how to distort photos to give myself Mr Spock ears and make my girlfriend an alien with a funny-shaped head. But the amusement factor in that disappeared a long time ago and I want to learn the nitty-gritty stuff now. Like digitally removing annoying relatives or strangers from holiday snaps or enlarging the assets of Playmate of the Month.

I found a nifty little tutorial earlier today which shows you how to make black and white outline versions of your photos. The tutorial gets full marks from me because a) the language is easy to understand and b) there's photos for Mr Doof (that's me) to follow. The end-result was not bad as you can see on the left.

Does anyone else know of any simple Photoshop tutorials like this one? If so, please post the links in the comments. Whether the tutorial is yours or someone else's doesn't matter. I've already done the "Dash of Colour" one.
