I am using CS5 and it didn't match with your above mentioned pictures. Would it be possible for you to explain, how could I use this tutorial in CS5. Regards. Hi,

You really ARE better off with a photo of a real feather, cutting out the background and using that. However, the way that I usually do it with the very best results is doing it by hand. I put the brush on its own new layer, in black. Then make a new layer beneath it, and paint in the colors by hand. ( I have a graphics tablet, so this is fairly intuitive... doing it with a mouse would be difficult.) It still may not look 100% real, but that's how I made the preview image here. Hope this helps!

Do you have a tutorial on that? I tried doing what you explained on this tutorial, but it looks wrong. Thanks for everything you do, you are a blessing!

So you need to make sure that the prior instructions were followed correctly and you have only a brush mark on that layer. If you have the whole image duplicated on that layer somehow, then it would show up everywhere. Try making a new layer above an image that you have open, setting the layer blend mode to color, and then use a brush to paint a few strokes. You'll see what I mean, and that may help you understand what went wrong. :) It should only overlay with color whatever part of the image you have markings on, so if you only have the brush mark on there, then that’s the only part that it’ll color.

GIMP imitates Photoshop pretty closely in functionality, even though they have completely different ways of actually going through the actions of doing stuff. So, your best bet is to look up how to do certain steps using an internet search. Like, if you get to a point where it says to make a new layer, search for 'new layer GIMP' or somesuch, and you should be able to still make it through the tutorial just fine... albeit a bit slowly and painfully. :) Sorry that I don't have a GIMP version!

But I've been using Photoshop for over 10 years now. I would really need a whole tutorial in order to explain how to do this, I'm afraid.

I'd really suggest using actual stock photos (images) for the realism, unless you're used to doing a lot of hand painting and an advanced Photoshop user - and have got lots of time to waste, since using an image for what you're looking for would be much faster. :) Good luck!
