New FotoSketcher tutorial

Hi all,

I have been asked time and time again to write a proper help file or at least a new tutorial. So far, I've always been too lazy busy to do so, but I'm happy to announce a brand new 8 page tutorial (packed with information for both new and more advanced users).

If you've never used FotoSketcher before, this tutorial will help you grasp the basics (open an image file, apply an effect, save your masterpiece).

If you're already familiar with FotoSketcher, this tutorial will show you some tricks you may not know yet, like applying transparent text to your drawing or painting.

Here is the tutorial in .pdf format: http://www.fotosketcher.com/Tips1.pdf

And here is the online version (thanks to the great flowpaper.com solution): http://fotosketcher.com/Tips1.html

For more tips and tricks, head over to: http://fotosketcher.blogspot.fr/2013/04/fotosketcher-secrets-tricks-you-may-not.html

And remember: don't be afraid to experiment with FotoSketcher :)

All the best,

David

P.S. A great, great thank you to all the generous users who have helped me continue the development of FotoSketcher, by supporting me on Patreon or via PayPal donations :)
