Version Two

This is a new tutorial, a "revised" version of our wonderful imager Jean's original one.

In hers, she had varied ways to do the technique and, at times, it became somewhat hard to decipher what to use where and when
She was very intelligent and sometimes got a bit complicated.
Hopefully ours will give you a more straight-forward and successful way to tackle this awesome effect,
while still holding true to the original technique
