  1. Using the image from the tutorial and running it through This website looks like it's Frankfurter font

  3. sounds like a job for conditional hue/saturation and select the green range, then adjust your hue sliders
  4. here's one I did while messing around with BoltBait's bevel plugin a while back: I started out by filling a larger circle with a less saturated red to a vibrant red radial gradient on one layer, then a smaller circle on another layer with the primary/secondary colors flipped and radial gradient again. Then, I magic wand selected the larger circle and ran bevel using a large radius with a couple different red colors as the shadow and highlight colors. Then did the same thing on the smaller circle, except switched the lighting direction. Then, I merged the 2 circle layers down and magic wand selected the one circle, and used an average blur on it to make the transition less pronounced.
  5. simply paste your cut-out to a new layer and then use move selected pixels tool to position it refer to This webpage for a detailed explanation of the move tools
  6. There are a few plugins you should try: Tile Image (with "Join Edges" checked) Seamless Texture Maker Mirror You could also just use the Layers> Rotate/Zoom with the "Tiling" box checked, and shrink the size
  7. could use a whole host of plugins, such as: color tint color filter color flip/rotate grayscale on colored paper duotone ink on paper monochrome ink on paper etc...
  8. Without knowing what software you used to create the animation, it's hard to give you an intelligent answer. If you are using UnFREEz, in the bottom right of the interface you should see "Frame delay"...if you increase the number beside it it will increase the amount of time each frame is displayed.
  9. Try reading this page about the line tool: Click Here
  10. not exactly sure what you mean...if you could post an image here it would be beneficial one possible way, if I understand you correctly, is to use clone stamp...clone-stamping the surrounding area over the spots. you can learn about the clone stamp tool by clicking here
  11. select it using :LassoTool: or and then blur it
  12. currently, the code in the plugin denotes the tab where it will be stored under effects, so it's impossible like LJXD said... on a side note, polls aren't allowed in the General Discussion & Questions forum, so it would be wise to remove it.
  13. I finally got a bit of time to try this one out...pretty fun little tutorial. The clouds settings were too over the top for my taste, so I changed the clouds settings as well as using height field to normal mapping instead of the edge detect. Then pasted it over some cropped water photo, et voilĂ , it's a spring thaw
  14. First, you'd have to find a fairly large image of the shield, since you can scale an image down without distorting it too much, however scaling it up distorts it quite a bit... Then, I'd make several copies of the shield image and use image> resize (by percentage) to scale them down...up to you how much, but for a smooth looking zoom in/out, I'd set it at 95%, then 90%, then 85%, and so forth until it's as small as you want it to get. Save each sized shield as a separate image. Open up your background, then create a new layer, and paste a shield on that layer, and merge it down. Then save this as a separate image (gif file if using unfreez). Repeat this step with each smaller shield you created. When you create the gif file, you'll need to drag the files in order so that the shield will appear to zoom in, then back out. in the end, it would look something like this:
  15. right-click on the file, and then click on "open with" at the bottom you'll find "choose default program"...click on it then select Paint.NET for that file type
  16. I think it's been done a few times in the past, but since the legacy tutorials are going bye-bye soon, that's not an issue. But I also think: The glossy layer you add almost completely negates any effect you get from the transparent gradient You should tell them to use filled shape :ShapeBoth: for the ellipse, otherwise they'll get just an ellipse :ShapeOutline: instead I think you should explain to select the text layer and globally select outside their text, otherwise it won't select inside the letters if needed I think the Curves, adjustment to all white and then invert colors was unnecessary...could just turn it to all black and save the extra step just a few ideas...
  17. magnetic lasso isn't much better, just faster best way would be to use an alpha mask...but if you really want to spend the money and use Photoshop, then go right ahead
  18. You can use the up/down/left/right arrow keys for precise starting point alignment
  19. what I'd suggest doing: run the "grayscale on colored paper" plugin with the color set to white (255,255,255) then use posterize and reduce the colors to the number you want total this usually gives you a better grayscale than a simple black & white would produce and posterize is the way to reduce the number of shades of gray you want
  20. My niece liked the look of it, so here is the one she approved of lol
  21. Did you try search? Because I just did, and using the exact same wording you used gave me 19 results...
  22. I guess the part about rule #21 didn't sink in, where it said polls should only be posted in the Overflow forum (AKA the Alfredo forum now) and if you really need an answer from someone, then my answer is no.
  23. lol for someone that likes to point out that someone is breaking the forum rules, I must point you to rule #21 and I think there is already an image umbrella for pixel images in the Pictorium
