[Contests]

So, would you participate in a collaboration with a theme of "the building blocks of matter: strings, atoms, molecules and cells"? - Gary

Good point. My intent really is cooperation rather than competition. But I posted earlier for a collaboration and got no response. Is it the subject matter? The way I presented it? - Gary

Vision River - I saw your thread and actually followed your link. I was just not sure what you were looking for. "Collaborative effort" is quite vauge. What are you looking to produce? How will the images be used?

I think that you would have more support if you were a little more explicit. Additionally if your purpose is to use images from this collaboration on another website I am sure that you will find quite a few willing participants. (Although you might have some disparity when it comes to quality and content.)

Are you refering to string theory as your theme? If so I would be interested as I find the subject matter very intriguing.

Thank you kindly for this exceptional plug-in which perfectly complements your host of other effective tools to be found here free of charge. Your gratuitous nature is very much appreciated in public communities and forums such as this. Have you ever considered politics?

On the snake and microphones the snakes head and body seem to pop a little too much. Maybe dull that edge a bit.

Wow that bird and gramaphone look sweet!

I concur with the masses. You have a very impressive gallery as well as a work ethic to match. (Although I doubt any of us would really enjoy these little projects as much if it were work.) Your enjoyment for the craft shows in your work.

Fun with High Contrast. You can get a similar effect if you posterize and then change the color to B&W. These were done with several different layers of the same image.

Here is a quick little global map that I put together for my group. It has a lot of imperfection but oh well.

:shock:

That's shweet! How many frames?

Somewhere around 30 frames for the Forumwar Sig.

8 frames, rigth?

Close. More like 16 for the Plasma

Thanks! I've actually been a member of the forum for quite awhile. I just haven't been very active. I'm always telling people about paint.net. I think it is a great program and with all of the plugins it make life without photoshop pretty nice.

Looks neat. Here's a tip...

When you are making an outline or a glow on text or an image, don't select, or else the glow or outline will just end!

Example: Bottom left corner of the word Floridan.

Nice catch! I didn't even see that. Thanks for the tip.

You are good but could use a lot of improvements with effects and depth keep trying though!

I haven't really tried to do any render sigs like yours. I think that they look pretty cool. I just like simple designs. I try some depth in a future sig.

Endless variety!! Sweet effect!! Nice tut.

A little movement.

[Popping out of a picture.]

Here is my stab at it. Thanks for the tutorial.

Here is a sig I made for another forum that I like to visit. I used teh Beneton GIF animator.

A little twist on the wave tutorial.

Take a stroll through the tutorials I sure that you will find something there that will get you on your way. It shouldn't be too difficult though. I haven't really had much practice but the program is super easy to work with so have fun. Do a couple of the tutorials at it will teach you some of the basic techniques that you will need to know.

Nice and easy effect.

Thanks

[Thunder bolt effect?]

Did you duplicate your lightning bolt? I looks like one layer Gaussian blurred. Having two layers of your bolts one blurred one not blurred gived more depth and substance.

[I know, I know, this is dumb, but......]

Layers>Layer Properties>Opacity.

Play with the opacity or....

You can use the layer mode "overlay" What ever works best to you situation

I've posted in pitorium quite some time ago and now have a dead link there because I did some spring cleaning at photobucket.com. So......

Here's a couple for your review.

[Fade Photo to Transparence]

If you are trying to make a photo transparent overall there is a way.

Go into Layer Properties and there is a transparency adjustment bar there.

Here is a picture that I created using that feature and serveral different pictures on different layers.

Okay. Im not as great as some of you. I practicing and getting ideas. This is my first post here so plaese be kind. I've been looking for a program like this for awhile now. I've never use Photoshop since I can't afford it. I love Paint.Net!
