    That's what you're looking for, although I really don't think that broken ASCII robots help get your point across.

    As for the question, with some clever layering and a plugin like Colour Chop by n d or something similar to it, you can simulate this effect.

    By the way, what do you mean "what font does the editor use"? If you mean the post editor on the forums, there's a choice of fonts at the top when you use the full editor. If you mean something else, then I'm afraid I don't know what - would you care to elaborate?

    Finally, there is no apostrophe in "agrees" and there should be a space after the period in "mr.robot" - that is, it should be more like "Mr. Robot". Sorry, OCD. Apologies if I'm being insensitive and English isn't your first language.

    Have a nice day!

    Hah, I love the new piece. :D Being British, that's always been a favourite meme of mine, though I like the bit "American-ising" it in the bottom right corner. :) All of your work is lovely, and it feels very finished - keep up the good work.

    Pixel Competition #4 - Voting has ended!

    in The Archives

    Posted · Edited by Rubrica

    YAY! At last, a third entry! With that, I feel better about closing the entry period; I will shortly be updating the OP with voting details. Without further adieu...

    Locked!

    Temporarily, anyway.

    Changed, as I am allowing people to post their votes in this thread should they wish to vote publicly.

    How to Remove the Background in an Image

    in Tutorial Graveyard

    Posted · Edited by Rubrica

    OK. Let's assume that you're being justified here. First, cut vs. delete. They both achieve the same thing. EXACTLY the same thing. Unless, of course, you want to keep the background for something else, which is entirely possible. But it's highly unlikely; you're following a tutorial designed to help you GET RID of the background. So, that's your first argument invalidated in that they are doing the same thing.. Next: the wording... where's the problem in the other tutorial's wording? Oh, let me think... there isn't a problem. There can't be a problem, anyway, can there? Because according to you, your wording is perfect, and it is practically identical to the other tutorial's wording. Due to the law of binary relations, this means that there is no problem n the other tutorial, you've just rephrased what the it says.

    So, we must now acknowledge that the two tutorials are identical. In every way. I don't care about the title, I don't care about whether the "gaps thing" is "obvious", they're identical. Onto the next thing; in one of your other posts, you clearly stated that you had read the other tutorial before you posted this one in that you were "just skimming the thread". Therefore, it is your own fault you're in this mess; you obviously thought that Simon's tutorial was similar to yours if you took the time to examine it, yet you could only be bothered to skim it? Sounds more to me like you're twisting what you actually did to defend your point of view.

    Now, another thing is that instead of politely accepting what is a perfectly valid question and answering it, you have decided to be arrogant. It is very clear you HAVE made an attempt to be polite, however you've really failed. First, you said, and I quote, "as for the images I can easily re-size them, once you decide to lock/not lock this thread.". No. You do NOT say that. It's not up to you to negotiate with the moderators, who, by the way, deserve RESPECT, you do what they ask you to. It is clearly stated in the rules for posting a tutorial that the images must be 800 pixels in their largest dimension, which shows that you didn't actually read those rules.

    Finally, the medicine bottle example is a COMPLETELY different situation. Seriously, how is that similar to this?

    I'm sorry, I really am. It IS clear that you put effort into this. It shows! The images are good (just, of course, too big) and you have made an effort to write it up well. But when you start talking back to moderators and posting tutorials that only differ slightly from other ones without thinking it through... that's when people start arguing.

    Have a nice day!

    New Idea for a Tutorial Competition

    in Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Rubrica

    I like this idea too, however I think that there should be a novice and an advanced category, so as not to confuse the newbies while still providing a fun challenge for the more experienced members.

    The question that this presents is whether the same person should host both competitions or whether they should both be hosted by different people who correspond when necessary?

    Another thing is this; if there were two difficulty categories, would the advanced one be a harder version of the novice tutorial or a completely different tutorial?

    Lovely tutorial, and quite a clever way of getting to the end result, however when in the last step you say "adjust as shown here"... nothing is "shown here". Admittedly, it's not really needed, as people can probably do the final step themselves in one way or another, but still...
