Diokea - I am sorry you feel this tutorial is useless. I was required to do a full tutorial of a technique that took less than 5 minutes. There isn't much you can do in 5 minutes, so I was trying to show a technique that I thought not everyone knew about. Do you have a suggestion of a tutorial that wouldn't be "useless" that I can do in under 5 minutes? I would love to hear about it. Thanks!
