  1. This is a wonderful tutorial, but is not easy based on the fact it is minimal instructions and more pictures showing you what to do. You often have no idea what effect to use because it is in German, but nonetheless, nice to know how to make decent books.

    Attached it my result.

    It seems to be aliased (pixely) around the paper, and there is a grey line at the top of my book. But, I'd still use this book of spells and potions.

  2. Agree about the pixelization.

    Anyways, the only places the pixelization is clearly visible without looking for it is in the bottom of the photo, although I do not see why it isn't on the top.

  3. That's a really strong, interesting image - I'd love to see both source photos.

    The only (minor) suggestion is the top LHS 'ghost' branch, through the blue sky, may be worth removing.

    The 2 images have registered together well and the idea and source pictures are stunning.

    The two images (links) are:

    Fire: http://4.bp.blogspot...HouseFire_2.jpg

    Ice: http://icons-pe.wund.../bill791/15.jpg

    Yes, I had to do a bit of resizing. These pictures were found with the simple google searches of "fire house" and "ice house".

    Yes, on the top left side there is a ghost branch, which would have been somewhat easy to remove. I'll keep that in mind next time.

    On the left hand side there is also a floating window on fire. I guess windows can have ghosts too... boltbait.roll.png

    There is also the obvious difference of times of day, with the ice being taken in the day and the fire being taken at night.

    SH Art, this is an excellant tutorial for a beginner who doesn't know what a "transparency gradient" is like me. As for your last image, it is a stunning mixture and image. The photos would be beautiful on their own.

  4. Oh, thanks. I didn't even know there was a real "transparency" mode, I was just using a blue and a full transparent on a Gradient. This is the first tutorial I've had trouble with that I haven't figured out myself.

    Anyways, here is my result.

    I personally think I should've been using all the Effects on Anti-Elias, but, I didn't think of it, so, it's a little pixely (if that is even a word) now. Also, there's too much white on the top and bottom, but I'm too lazy to upload it to Photobucket again.

  5. I'm assuming you mean text with your name over the image?

    Get a decent size + text,

    on a new layer type the text (keep in mind, make the text a noticable color on the background),

    put the text in a very akward position as to avoid it eing edited out,

    and take the layer's transparency down to 75 or so.

    Thats how I make watermarks...

    Sorry If I'm not understandable, Im not good at explaining things...
