Virtual Bonsai How-to ?

I am able to do virtual, but from what I see in others people virtual, they seem to have a more advanced technique.

Does anyone know a good virtual guide on the web ?
Links would be appreciated.

Thx
Patrick

The first thing you want to do when you have such a question, is to google the topic (not very useful in this case - most of the links seem to be to various sorts of "Sim-Bonsai" )

Many of the best at virtual bonsai, simply use an image editing program, such as Photoshop (there are many less expensive ones) and master the techniques needed to use the program expertly.

Such a discussion would be far beyond the scope of this forum. The books that instruct are heavy!! The time needed to learn the techniques is long.

And then, you have to know how to style bonsai!

If you have photoshop and know how to use it, Virtuals should be a breezy.

Good Luck

I'm still learning photoshop, i'm ok with it I guess.
