OK...

Please if the stock images are for Deviant Art Artists, don`t do the things that theese tutorial says.

Don`t use the de Healing Brush, and don`t crop the image.

The reasons? because maybe digital artists do better than de stockers. And if you do you can make the foto look bad at an Artist eyes..

Sorry if you read this comment like an insult, but that is not the reason.
I wanna best stocks for everyone.

Cheers!
I thought the tut was very helpful. Although I prolly won't fool around too much with the healing tool...it scares me. It was nice to see another way of leveling the picture as well...as mine was pretty much "guesswork".

As far as the previous comment about not touching the photos...in some cases that may be true, but having the stock slightly "prepared" as well. Why would I upload an image with a ton of unessesary background when I could shave some of that off? I suppose I couldjust leave it? *shrug*

I second the above.

Besides, it's more tempting to use a clean photo if you're going to use tons of work on things besides the character itself. I'm very grateful stock artists save me some time by doing this, so I can jump right to the fun part -> being creative!

She also nailed the point of not painting off freckles and birthmarks. That's very important to me, at least. There's so much more beauty to a natural stock-artist, than a plastic-skinned one.
It's also easier to use for multiple purposes; it's easier to remove details from the skin than it is to add them.

Thanks so much for this tutorial!
