Ok, here`s the first lesson as I said. Before we`ll start, I want to say that I`ll teach you what I have learnt, and I will put a new lesson in any day of week. Ok, here we go.

Step 1:Choose any image you like and let`s chooseSquall`s image.

Step 2:Squall`s image size is 350 pixels x 263 pixels. Create a new file with File> New, or Control+N. Then put these sizes as this diagram.

Step 3:We need putting these sizes because we want the image size like the image size of Squall`s image.
Note: you may choose any image which their sizes are 500 x 200, or 400 x 300, etc.

Step 4:Go to Squall`s image and press the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M), or press M which you`ll find it on the keyboard, as the diagram shows

Step5:Then, use select all by right click on Squall`s imgae and it will show you this

Step 6:After that, use Control+C which means copy. Go to the empty image size picture and press Control+V which means paste.

Step 7:And now, the empty image size picture becomes a copy of Squall`s image, so close the original one, and let`s start with the copy one.
Note: I did those steps because the original image is locked, so I can`t do anything on this image, unless you can copy it. If you have imgae which is not locked, there`s no need to do those steps.

Step 8:In the copy one, you will see that the name of the picture is called layer, as in this diagram

Step 9: Create a new layer by Layer> New> Layer, or Shift+ Control+ N, or by this icon as you see it in this picture

Step 10:After creating a new layer, they will become two layers. The first one is Squall`s image which is layer 1, and the second is empty layer which is layer 2. Go to layer 1 and use select all as I have explained.Then, copy the image and go to layer 2 and paste the image in layer 2

Step 11:Select layer one, and go to Filter>Blur>Guassain blur.

10-Selcet layer 2, and transform the picture from normal to soft light.

Finally the image will be like that

There are some samples which are about our lesson:







Ok, that`s all today, and I haop you will understand me.
