Hi All,
I don't know how much this will help, but I thought I'd give a bit more of a detailed description of how I work. I also found this was something that I struggled with a while ago, so I figured maybe it may help someone.
This was done in GIMP, but will work just as well in Photoshop, with a few exceptions that shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
