    How can I use a SPECIFIC font(s) with XHTML or .CSS

    If that's true that's great-but it raises a question in my mind. Do you know how the font is downloaded? In other words, does it become a font like any other font that's installed on the user's system-did they now just get a font for free? If so, isn't that potential piracy? Or is the font...

    WHAT TO SAVE IT AS!!!

    Oops-forgot PDFs! PDFs are mighty versatile, you can use them for: 1) Sending images to someone else to view (perhaps comps to a client). They're especially nice because pretty much anyone can read them these days, while they might not be able to read your native application files (InDesign...

    WHAT TO SAVE IT AS!!!

    I thought I'd add a bit more info in answer to the original post ("what should I save my file as?") As others have stated, PSD, TIFF, JPEG and GIF are the formats you'll use most of the time (for print and web folks anyway). Photoshop (PSD): This is the format to save in by default. This...

    WHAT TO SAVE IT AS!!!

    To clarify Di's point (about CMYK)- CMYK is not just a matter of having black added to the mix (DI makes it sound like RGB is simply CMYK without the black), it's an entirely different color model than RGB (additive vs. subtractive). It's also not entirely accurate to say that anything sent to...

    How Can I Do This????

    Sorry-I'm not familiar with Gimp, I'm strictly a Photoshop guy! Anyone else have any thoughts?

    This cover design ok or not ????

    Hey-not bad!! :} Constructive comments: 1) The logos and text on the bottom seem a little disorganized-especially the Catalogue 2005-maybe center it all? Or run Catalogue 2005 up the side? 2) Love the text in the background, but unfortunately you can't read some of it since it's covered up...

    Realistically contoured 3D textures

    Very cool! I need to take the time to really dive into the tutorial (looks intense!), but it seems like it's a good possibility... I was doing some searching and found this site, lots of nice tutorials here: http://div.dyndns.org/EK/tutorial/

    Realistically contoured 3D textures

    Hello all! For a few days now I've been trying to think of a way to create realistically contoured textures, e.g., flowing hair or a cloth texture wrapped around a shape (as in clothing). Of course, the ideal solutions are 1) rendering with a 3D program and 2) very careful painting. However, I...

    Custom Filters??

    Here's a link I quickly found: http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/photoshop-custom-filter/ You'll get a ton of hits if you do a Google search like MsOz suggested...they'll be much more comprehensive (necessarily) than anyone will be able to post here as a reply. The one I found has a lot of...

    light beam

    Nice start! Here's some things you could do to make it more realistic: 1) You have the light coming in through only the top panes, it should come in the bottom as well. 2) The light beams seem like they're too blue, I think that even if it were a blue light the beam itself would be much...

    Selecting highlights problem

    OK-this one is stumping me. First of all, put this down as the coolest tip I've heard in a while-I had no idea you could do that! :righton: :righton: As to your problem, can you be more specific? What version of Photoshop are you running? I don't understand what you mean by Alt + Gr to make...

    what if i dont have Photoshop?

    Also, keep in mind that if you buy a scanner or digital camera, you will sometimes get a light version of Photoshop (not sure if that would be Elements these days, it was called LE once upon a time-I haven't bought a scanner in quite a while!!) Not every scanner or camera comes with it but if...

    How to do an Effect?

    It looks like you could do this with some (very careful) use of the Liquify filter. That will let you push the pixels around in nice sweeping arcs, and you can add some twirling in there too. Unfortunately, it's not a "click a button and presto" kind of filter. You'll have to experiment a lot...

    Some input please...

    Lookin' good! If you're still up for suggestions [confused] here are my thoughts: 1) I agree with JoeD about the headlines being hard to read, right now they're actually the last thing I notice 2) I didn't notice before, but I would rather see the bulleted items line up. What you could do...

    Avatar Tips

    If you're uncomfortable working at the reduced size of the final avatar, you can always set up the file at the final size (50 x 50 or whatever), and magnify it so it's comfy to work at. Then go to Window > Document > New Window to open another view of your art in a separate window. You can size...

    How Can I Do This????

    Additionally, if reducing the Opacity in the background level still leaves the background too yellow, go to Hue-Saturation (Image > Adjustments) and reduce the saturation level a bit to mute the colors. Have fun!

    How Can I Do This????

    Piece of cake! 1) Create a new document properly sized to accomodate both pieces of art (you can check Image Size under Image to verify the sizes of the art you're working from-make sure the canvas is white!) 2) With your new document and the documents for the 2 pieces of art open, drag the...

    Question About Layouts

    Can you clarify the exact problems you are having? This sounds like it should be fairly straightforward and hopefully not too difficult to get you on the right path again, we're just not sure where the confusion is lying. Thanks!! :D

    Some input please...

    Hi there! It's a nice start, here things I would suggest: 1) Bringing out the text in the top (with the little baseballs) is going to be difficult since the background image has very light and very dark areas. You're going down a good path, light text with a good dark shadow. A bolder font...

    Rounded edges

    Thanks- Yes, I go back a ways! Why, I remember when Photoshop 3 would fit on a floppy! (what are those? ;) )
