Thought would try orton technique...so followed fiona's link followed the step by step...no luck

so went off in search for further info , got to another photography forum ,which were saying it was for p1 and the adobe ps cs3 didnt work with that particular steps.
So that was ok ...bit more searching , no luck

followed few more links

had few choice words to computer for not understanding what i wanted
So i figured i would compromise ,attempted to take the info i had and adjust it for ps c3 ...sounds simple enough
Ended up getting side tracked and playing with layers and blending and merging then flattening image ...have my own version in critique section.
Hoping someone can do a step by step on how to do the orton technique in ps that i can work in adobe ps cs3.
really would be appreciated
