Manip T+T - Cutting Techniquesby =kuschelirmel-stock

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Photoshop

I was getting tired of people claiming one method of cutting was better than another. In my opinion, there's not "one right method" but the right method for the right task. Therefore, I think one should learn as many techniques as possible so you can always choose one that fits the circumstances. This tutorial/guide will hopefully help you with that.
