I must really start practicing.

I don't understand how some things work. I don't understand what the first layer means, the one with the light bulb. Gah, I'm useless when it comes to stuff like that.

Hover the mouse over the lightblulb section and it will tell you something about it. I'm trying to learn too.

~ Next one ~

Fireworks 1- very basic, I'm not an art major or anything close so it's all game stuff.

Think of it like this, each layer is a new color channel. The bottom layer is the base layer, and can't be recolored. Every thing above it can. If you want each bunny to be a different color, then put each one on a different layer.

Wow the fireworks one is cool!

Yeah I hovered over the light bulb and it said something about Help. I couldn't even find the button first.

It's okay, I'm getting there.
The only thing I'm struggling with is recolouring the thingies. :s

well i've already done a thread but here's mine!

Aw, thanks for that. I've been messing with them and it's great to not have to.

Yea, this is why I am so happy about this tool. Before it came out you had to individually create each channel. Now you can just dump the new images on the new layer. Much easier! Also easy to create a grunge texture. All I have had to do was drop a texture over a seamless pattern, then adjust the opacacy. I am really loving this!

Well, I uploaded one of my own aswell.
Maybe it's a bit too pink, didn't try it in game.
