Thanks for all the tutorials but do you guys know where you can download photo shop? My laptop doesn't have it.

I don't think you can download Photoshop online for free but you can get a free trial of it. I'm using GIMP at the moment, which is free, and it's a lot like Photoshop. :D

You can get heaps more information off here.

Yeah I use GIMP as well! :D

This is what I do to make new layers: Layer>New From Visible

Then while on that new layer, go to Colours>Hue/Saturation, Colour Balance, etc.

And to get to Channel Mixer: Colours>Components>Channel Mixer

Lol I hope you get it, GIMP is a bit fiddly at times. :lol::D
