Re: Designing a custom overlay for controller
I'm confused too.
Colleague has already supplied you with a template, which to me looks like it covers everything you need.....what part of the machine does it not cover?
Well....what file is that then? How does it differ from what colleague kindly produced for you?
Why don't you post that so we can see what you have to work with?
That very much depends on the 'purpose' of the project.
If you intend to print this out and use it as an actual overlay then of course it will need to be of the correct size....but hasn't colleague already gone through this with you?
I think we all understand completely what you are trying to do so there is no need to repeat it for a third time but what isn't clear is why that which has already been suggested, provided and explained isn't working or good enough for you.
We're all for helping out "newbies" but at the moment its impossible to say what to do next without knowing at what stage you are at now, what you have to work with and what it is you need guidance on.
From what I can tell this isn't a complicated project and to be honest quite a good one to cut your teeth on.
Having said that it would be impractical to instruct you from start to finish without you knowing 'some' basic tools, methods, procedures and most importantly the terminology that PS uses, that would be a big advantage....that's what we use here too.
Check out video's on YouTube for different tools and basic workflows, try them out, get comfortable using them.....if you have difficulties then by all means ask here and we will help you....but you need to at least try first.
If you know nothing about PS at all then starting with a 'project' isn't the way to go and it would be a very time consuming and boring process for anyone to try to instruct you through it, even a simple project like this....least of all a little beyond the enormous generosity of the members here.
Baby steps......and we'll help you take them if you need it.
Regards.
