EDIT: Post #1's tutorial links have all been updated and now point to the appropriate tutorial.

[RobA]

Vandy-

Would it be possibly to provide a link to the original online tutorial in the pdf files? Often there are additional comments/discussion in the tutorial thread that may be of additional value.

Creating skirmish VTT Tokens using CC3 & Photoshop (Original tutorial thread)

[Vandy]

Hello, All.

Thank you all for your great comments as well as your permissions to "PDFize" your tutorials. I will be working on these documents on an on-going basis.

NeonKnight and RobA, I've taken your suggestions and incorporated them into the first post. I believe it is now much more "user friendly".

Thanks for the suggestions.

Regards,

Gary

[NeonKnight]

Ok, but you haven't posted any of my CC3 tutorials
