Hi steve, What is the name of the site and what sort of stuff does it sell ? because without that info its a bit hard to help.

Ahmed I would suggest reading the rules first, there is already a battle going on.

Its the other way round for me Not a big fan of reading not sure why, used to enjoy it as a kid but find it hard to keep interested now. Although the TV show A Game Of Thrones has made me think about picking up the books to read, so there may be help for me yet (shame they are so big!)

Is this plug in different from AA Assistant ? Original pic. After AA Asistant

Nice tut can see a lot of possibilities.

You could also clone to a new layer and use feather on it then merge down.

Thats a bit like asking what is the best song ever, its all down to taste for me its the Alphamasking plug in.

Load up your image then click add new layer, fill this with green then double click on this layer in the layer window and change the blending mode if it is too green use the slider.

Some nice stuff here Jim especially the photo restorations, in my opinion yours turned out better than the link you put. Have you tried using alpha masking to cut your images out ? You seem to be using the same technique I used to use ( Magic wand and eraser zoomed in ) you can get good results like this but as I am sure you know can take a long time to get a nice cut out image, where as alpha masking does it in a fraction of the time. Would like to link you to the plug in but cant find it I have looked in the plug in index under A and it doesn't seem to be there, maybe it was part of a pack.

Hope I am not breaking any rules here, but why not just go to this site and make your own its very easy. http://www.userbars.com/

Nice Tut heres my go.

If you did read the rules you would of seen that the current battle had ended with Howler getting 3 votes, you did not need to vote again.

Some nice tutorial work, although there are some jaggies about. Try working bigger and feathering before resizing or use AA assistant.

Why not just make your own, its not that hard you just need a little patience.

You might want to read the rules to sig battles.

I think he might mean @gamerenders.

Do you mean the window where the tools are ? If so press F5, F6, F7 and F8 to hide the windows and press again to bring them back.

@Simplify, welshy is right why complain that a thread is dying and then do nothing to breathe new life into it ? @ Walshy I LOL'd at your drowning man comment Probably shouldn't of @Subsroora if you are new you should be introducing yourself in a welcome thread not sig battles. The Howler you are improving but still have empty area on your sigs. Ninjaman dan yours just seems a bit too blurry for me. The howler 3 Ninjaman dan 0 The Howler wins

@simplify I think you may have an error on your sig

Nice tut, Heres mine made for a friend.

With regards to the line around santas sack, if this is only 1px wide then AA's Assistant wont work, make the line 3-4 px wide then run AA on it. You could also try a combo of feather and AA's assistant.

As I posted above pyros pack does not include these effects. COLOUR DISTORT by Anaco GRAVITY by MadJik

Could I borrow the bits he picks before he hands them back. No worries about the tut I have a lot of respect for people who take the time to do them its something I don't have the patience for.

As welsh said amazing work you really are a talent, I also binned my attempts ( dipping my dogs paws in paint and getting him to run around gave better results than my attempts ) any chance you could do another tut with more pics of the first few stages. By the way no dogs were harmed in my experiment, only my ego.

I used the same technique as making toy cars, just select the area between the person and castle squish it 50% and then run gravity plugin. I tried it on the castle pic from the link that EER posted and it looks fine, the clouds look a little different but only when compared to the original, I am sure someone who never saw the original wouldn't notice. Obviously it wouldn't work so good on all images but until some genius writes a PDN plugin ( and there are plenty here ) I suppose thats all we have. Also I have the liquify plugin and tried that but wasn't sure what I should do with it to replicate that effect.
