I'm going to begin by pointing out the things which this guide is not. I only really have experience doing this kind of work in Photoshop, and I'm using version 5.0, so if you have some other editing program, or some other version of Photoshop, you won't get any hints tailored to that software. If, however, you're using some application which allows separate image layers to be stacked on top of one another in a picture, and you can copy, paste, and do a little digital painting, then you might be able to at least get some ideas here.

Speaking of digital painting, that is another thing you won't find much of in this document. I'm not much of a "painter", though I have a improved a bit since I started, so I won't presume to instruct anyone in that art. All I'd end up doing is spreading some bad habits, anyway. Vitamin C, Bust Artist, and The Unknown Morpher are a few people who have some talents in that direction, so if you're looking for help with digital painting don't miss your chance to ask someone who knows what they're doing. There may well be others - I haven't been much involved in the "morphing" scene for a while - so I apologize if I've left out anyone.

What else is missing in my little guidebook? Really gargantuan boobs. Why? Because I'm writing about what I know, and I've very rarely done any pictures of that sort. They just don't do much for me. Those of you who recognize my "handle" probably already know the kind of girl you'll usually find in my pictures. I like to take a woman of modest or average proportions, like a B or C cup, and give her something in the DD range, maybe a cup or two higher. That's my "sweet spot", I suppose. Yes, I've done pictures that don't fit into that category, but most of my work is along those lines, so that's what I'll be telling you about here. If you're looking to make boobs as big as cars, you should search elsewhere for guidance.

With that in mind, let's get on with the course...
