Tattoo transplantation
Level 1 - From catalogue on skin
1. Open tattoo picture
2. Select tattoo usind any selection-making tool (e.g. rectangular marquee tool)
3. Copy (Ctrl+C)
4. Open target picture
5. Paste (Ctrl+V)
6. Change size, set layer mode to multiply, (this acts as printer, will not print white, will it?)
7. Change opacity to about 70%.
8. Hurrah! Lets make our own tatto studio, shall we?
Level 2 - From skin on skin
1. Open tattoo picture
2. Select tattoo usind any selection-making tool
3. Copy (Ctrl+C)
4. Open target picture
5. Paste (Ctrl+V)
6. Change size, change layer mode to multiply (this acts as printer,and as I said before, printers dont usually print white, do they?)
7. Use Image/Adjustments/Levels with following settings
8.Transform it, opacity 87%
9. That's it, you have just earned your surgeon degree !!
And when we managed to make all of the above, we can do plenty more. We can just change layer mode (e.g. to screen when using lighter colors, or multiply when using dark colors) and use the same efect many times for variety of purposes.
or maybe
So long, I hope you enjoyed.

Well, welcome to the photoshop tutorials page. All thing on this site are made in Aobe Photoshop. The latest version is CS2. It is a graphic program used predominantly to transform pictures but also to create some. If you wish to learn more about Photoshop (PS), I strongly recommend some guidance in the form of a book. I, personally, have learned a great deal from such a book about basics of adobe photoshop. Sites such as this one show you tutorials of how to make things, I mean some specialities you seek and want to know how to make the in PS. Good luck on your PS-quest :)

I dont understand what you mean. If you want to download tutorial, just copy and paste. If you want to download the picture of tattoo, just search google for pics.
