    first attempt at a space theme

    Content wise, it looks cool to me. :) The first thing I notice about it though is that the brightness/contrast looks a little low. Everything looks quite grey, like the brighter colours have the potential to pop out at me more. Is this deliberate? eg I might do this if it's a background image...

    Helios' gallery

    Mooooon Not sure if this needs something else, but otherwise I'm quite happy with it for now. :) I felt inspired when I glanced out of my window this afternoon, just after a rain shower. Lovely piles of clouds all lit up by the sun under a daytime moon. Clouds largely made up, as they moved...

    Merry Christmas PSG Members One and All.

    I wish everyone the best for the season, however you like to celebrate it. :) Have some snow!

    Voting For Challenge 32

    7 days sounds reasonable to me. The obvious thing that comes to mind is that the general prominence of the competitions could be better. Can we highlight the voting thread around the forum somehow? Is the 'popular threads' side bar completely automated according to how many replies they've...

    Quick question, when does voting end?

    Would still be nice to see it finished, Zee. :)

    Bamboo Pen causing mouse to move erratically

    What OS and version of PS are you using, Ged? I was just thinking that could be useful info - I was thinking of getting a Wacom at some point, and as Mr Tom asked: Could other Wacom owners expect the same thing to happen eventually?

    Bamboo Pen causing mouse to move erratically

    Oh, I see! So this is an older make of Wacom tablet (can only really find Intuos if you just search 'wacom'), but they also sell styluses that are also named Bamboo (which is all I'm finding if I search 'bamboo wacom' - sigh). Got it now - I've only ever had one graphics tablet in my life...

    Bamboo Pen causing mouse to move erratically

    If I may just ask a bit of a noob question relating to this: What exactly is a Bamboo and how does it work? I looked at these just now and they all seem to be for use with tablets - only Ged's issue of it being used alongside a mouse suggests he is using it with a desktop PC. I are...

    Making it look as though iPhone is being charged

    Just as a quick answer to this: Hit ctrl-T to free transform the desired layer. This brings up a box around the contents of the whole layer that can then be resized and skewed by clicking and dragging the edges and corners. Holding Shift while transforming will constrain the proportions. Holding...

    Touch up 3d face

    Just some suggestions, but you could also try giving her face more definite lines and creases, maybe a scar? This might give her a more realistic 'rough' appearance, as the problem with the original plastic 3d face is not the smoothness of her skin, but more that she has no defining features and...

    Challenge 32 - TubeWorld

    And I thought I was going for a bigger scale. Nice and epic, good job!

    Challenge 32 - TubeWorld

    I decided to take an illustrative approach. :) Were day and night to be simulated on tube world, watching the sunrise might be quite a spectacle.

    Curiously enough, the shading layer on its own, at full opacity, looks madly interesting... :eek:

    Helios' gallery

    I may go back and paint some areas a little darker - I agree I probably haven't gone far enough, I'd just got it to a point I was happy with and was concerned about wrecking it. The program has no image manipulation, really, it's purely a painting program. So yeah all the shading is done with...

    Helios' gallery

    So here is one of my first proper attempts at using Mischief. I call it.... well "Mischief", obviously. ;) Painted on top of a portion of a pencil sketch I made of a character I am working on for my graphic novel. Pose, lighting etc all out of my head again.

    Making Titles Pop More

    Aaah ok, didn't realise you meant it was a whole photograph as the background. Yes, lightening that with just the brightness/contrast would probably just make it looked washed out, I guess, but making the whole image a bit lighter might still help the text pop satisfactorily. A recent thread...

    Making Titles Pop More

    Hi Marc, Without screenshots of what you are working on, or similar examples, it is difficult to provide specific advice. Squareup.com doesn't appear to have any busy or textured backgrounds behind its text, either (if I'm looking at the right page). As a general rule, your text will stand out...

    PaintTool SAI, Mischief and other painting programs

    Cheers guys, I took a look at their site. Unfortunately, their FAQs point out that AMD graphics cards are a bit incompatible with it. As that is the type of card I have, I think I'll stick with Mischief as that is working out really well for me at the moment. In fact Mischief is working so...

    How do I do this text effect?

    Nice job, I'm glad it all worked out. :)
