While reading through your instructable I found a couple of things you could improve:
1. I personally never use the bucket tool. Edit -> Fill with FG color (shortcut ctrl + , ) is much faster. 2. Don't use the pencil tool, but use the brush tool instead. The pencil tool creates hard edges that look awful. 3. There's no advantage in applying the layer mask, you only delete the hidden parts. If you want to correct something later you won't be able to. 4. Draw the shadows on an own transparent layer to be able to change them more easily. 5. To draw the shadows it might be a good idea to insert the original image as a new layer with low opacity above all other layers. Then you can draw the new shadows exactly where the original ones are. Afterwards just toggle the original image invisible.
We had a contest with the topic "Out of Bounds Effect" some months ago at gimpusers.de: http://www.gimpusers.de/contests/5/submissions You'll find some nice images there. (cutting out the space shuttle's launch pad was really hard work :D )

Hi everyone, I'm totally new to photoshop. Please help me know the basic things it does and how I can design picutres with photoshop. Thank you. I know you guys are the best.
I finally got it. Whew... Nice idea, but unfortunately its real preaching to the choir. It's written for well experienced Gimp users, and many steps and all the program settings are left to guess at or give up. New Gimp users will have a an absolutely horrid time with it if they accomplish it at all. Regardless, thanks for the introduction to Gimp. i learned a lot even if it cost me a lot of pulled out hair and about 30 difficult hours trying to discover the necessary steps in a clear, logical order. Here is my first attempt. I think it's interesting and done well enough, but my next one will be better and 29 hours faster. Here is a before and after...
Your efforts were well worth it - it's brilliant., I'd go as far as saying - a better example. I very much like the idea, but I've just started my first hour of trying to figure it out!
