You can also try this if you can open this zip file. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=30713

You can also use gradients with black and white to start :LinearGradient:

I have never used JZip, so I can't help you there, try another program for the zip?

Search Color and Black and White - The Pleasantville Effect

Do you have any program that can open zip file? Windows' built in Zip function, WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip....etc etc.

You just need to jump a few links. Here is where you will end up. http://users.telenet.be/krisvandermotte ... fects.html Click the download button.

That is a plugin can be found in the plugin section of the forum. There are links to the plugins needed in my tuts. And putting your id/email on open forum is usually not a good idea.

Try custom brush mini plugin or check out this tut viewtopic.php?f=15&t=22096&hilit=airbrush see if these help.

What do you need help with?

Have you tried my easy 3d metal/chrome tut? See if that will help.

Like viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28958&start=0 ??

Thanks Possum & nemo @topezia, LOL never thought of it that way, I was too tired to make the teeth Most likely it's not from this earth.... @Nab, You wouldn't believe how many of my stuff starts with a gradient

Thanks topezia & Lance, glad it helped.

I thought there is a CD tut already? Do you mean to put my tut on a CD, or making a CD? :wink:

Nicely done, I like.

Thanks HELEN & (flip).

Ha, I was just in Sabah a little over a month ago. :wink: Let me teach you the easiest method first to get you started, but it doesn't look as nice..just for you to get some ideas. Type letters, Select letters "Shift key+ ", Use with color black and white on the letters.

Thanks man, it's a skull of something...?? Could be a grinning old man if he is skin and bones. Could've been a human like skull, but I got lazy on the nose and didn't bother to make the teeth.

Do you want to work on a white background or transparent background? Do you want your final image on a white background or transparent background?

Make you own? Put your photo on the right side of the canvas. Fill black on the left side, type words on new layer. Done.

There's no need to be sorry, everyone was a newb once. Did you use the image in you earlier post and run the metallic plugin? If yes, don't do that. Use these gradients on your letters :LinearGradient: (Only the letters) will give you a better metallic look. (Or you can always try the method in my tut, on the horizontal surface (face?) of the letters as well, see if you like it.) Hint: Try running the "condition...hue/sat" plugin, Fade horizontal first then Fade vertical. And you will get a 45° gradient. See if that helps.

Seem in such a dark mood lately??....hmmm?? :? Edit: Just in case anyone wondering....this is the starting image for this piece, when all I wanted to do was mess around and do some testing...don't ask...another sleepless night, now I drop in bed.

Easier to just make your own than clone stamping out the numbers. It's just a bunch of gradients. Edit: If you don't mind a little blur, it would be fast to remove the numbers. In this case.

It should be something about you, since you should know yourself the best. It would be up to you, no?

Lovely as usual, do you think adding some reflection and ripples in the water would be better?
