{sensible} Backgrounds 2

Sorry for the problem with the last version of this thread... now, I'll try again with out the problem...

Can anyone give me some tips for Adobe Photoshop for creating pics? I've got some basic stuff, but anyone have anything cool that they know about?

ph33r the b34ms!

Yes. Render effects = your friend. Distortion effects = your friend.
Resizing and resampling are two very different things, use both when appropriate.

Oh yeah, layers = really your friend.

And learn lighting effects, I've done some VERY kick-ass stuff with lighting. Major fun to play with that.

Pardon my ignorance, but...

oh very well

Starfields made easy
1. Fill screen with black
2. Choose 'Add noise' filter.
3. Set noise to Monochromatic Gaussian, and the amount to 14.
4. Activate the levels window Image/Adjust/Levels...)
5. For the final step you simply need to re-arrange the 3 triangles on the upper bar. I'd recommend you experiment and see what you can get but generally I find this adjustment works best;
[68] [0.52] [183]

For more information I must be given an offering of 6 beautiful, plump-bosomed young virgin girls. (I can't stress the importance of the bosom bit)

Did I ever mention that I hate you Plasma? Oh...I didn't? Ok...

I HATE YOU!

And not that touchy feely kind of hate...the kind that really makes me want to rip your head off and sh!t down your neck! h4w!

All I got to say is: I know where both of you live. Don't think I am not willing to drive over there and give you a boot sandwich.

Nice idea, but I think Orange ripped that from Dark or so..

Hmm - I couldn't get tht to work well... and another thing just occured to me... do you ever see many FS artwork pics with lasers anyway? theres a couple of beam ones, but nothing with other weapons in...
