I think you should put an annotation at 2:35 to notify that you have the contrast set on Legacy.
My Photoshop had Legacy turned off by default an it took a while to figured out why my background came out so damn dark :)

[Maldracai]

Awesome tutorial, want to try it out!

Noob question: How do you get that... grid type thing around the image? The thing you used to split the image in half.

@EvanEckard good tut, I would like to see some logo tuts :)

[OMGitsJohneh]

Can you give any tips on how to do diagonal lines on a background? Such as the background on the DinPattern website. I always mess it up, help would be appreciated :^]

[Kriindruul]

Hey awesome tut. Question tho. When I try to use my line tool, I only get a single straight line, how do I get it to set as a box like you do? For some reason I cant get mine to do that.

[TheFLeXArts]
