There are no programs that I am aware of that you can get for free without downloading or signing up for an e-mail or whatever. Trial versions of Photoshop and such things are free but then again they're only trials.

Actually you CAN use Paint to make graphics. My friend Kelly does it all the time. If used properly you can make some amazing stuff in Paint.

NOW I've got another tutorial for yall. I wrote this tutorial a couple weeks ago for someone on LJ so I figured that I should share it with you lovely SS people.

Program Used: Photoshop CS3
Difficulty: Intermediate
Translatable? NO. This tutorial is STRICTLY for Photoshop users. It has Selective Coloring in it and A LOT of it so no.

We're going from

to

SPOILER!!: Blake Lively Tutorial

8. OPTIONAL STEP!

I decided that I wanted Blake's diamond earring to shine so I merged all layers (Layer -> Merge Visible) and took the Sharpen tool to her earring. My mode was normal and my strength was 50 percent. (To get to the Sharpen tool, right click on the Blur tool and you'll see it.)

& that's it! If you use this PLEASE let me know so I can see your results!
