Here I’ll talk about the basic tools that you’ll need in order to change age of empires II graphics. In this tutorial I will mainly focus on aoe buildings and copy and paste methods but the methods used here can also be applied to units. If you have any suggestions/remarks or corrections either contact me on http://aok.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/aokcgi/display.cgi?action=t&fn=26 or on [email protected]. NOTE: I will talk only about tools and options that I think are useful for making aok graphics. There are a lot more options available but for that you’ll have to consult one of many Photoshop tutorials available on the internet. BASIC HOTKEYS When working with Photoshop, hotkeys can be a very useful help tool. Get to know them and you’ll see you can have things done a lot quicker. You’ll find most hotkeys by hovering over items or by looking it up under Edit/keyboard Shortcuts. In the chapter ”tools” you’ll find the hotkeys for most basic tools.
