That is soo cool, washing up liquid and cling film!! :omfg: that's just soo nifty!

Personally I'm gonna be doing the digital version, but when I go analogue with a film camera then I'll remember this cool trick. Cheers :kiss:

Yet another great tutorial from you guys, part. for its succinct laser-focus. (Ironic, eh?)

One quibble in this case, though: At the end, the reader should not have to scroll up and down to compare the before and after. It really impacts the ease of clearly discerning the benefit.

However, this combination of "technical backstory" and Photoshop methodology is truly a winning one. It's a real added-value for the reader how you've addressed the topic from both the analog/mechanical and digital postwork directions.

I'm really pleased with the simplicity of the exercise/technique too. I always tend to make tasks like this too hard/complicated on myself, but you demonstrate so effectively that it simply doesn't have to be.

These are the most eagerly-read tutorials I follow on DA - I love the format and the professionalism of them.
Another great tutorial guys - nice to see you covering both traditional and digital methods!

So when do you get a DA community service award? :)
