Hey Thanks again and again! LOL

I was going to upgrade myself but I feel like I know this so well and I still haven't learned everything in this version! Everything I learn I forget anyway! CRS, ya know? (Can't remember Sh!t)

The banners have to be in by Wed next week. I am going to make a few and see which are the best 3. I doubt I will win. There are way too many...

I think you can use anything in your brush box as long as its "squiggly"!
I ordered PSPXII and got PSPXI........I never used it....lol!
The XII was so much easier to use, its all in what you get use to!
The very best of luck in your contest!
When is it........? Let us know how you do!

What version of PSP do you have Nightcrawler?
I didnt import and "sponges" so I know they came with PSP9
Click on your brush,then in the box at the top click on the lil arrow that will bring the dropdown......then you can select from there......What ever you have in your box will do, try a few ......here are some screenshots, I hope they help!

I'm as excited as you are Nightcrawler......I know the feeling when a project comes to fruitation! I like the first one best........I think that a lil inter bevel might keep it from looking flat......and moving "Fan Wiki" between Wolff and Huratio might balance it a bit........When you go to try...

Hey Chey, I am all excited... I have been at this all day and finally got the lines right... how I like them anyway. What do you think? What can i do to make it look more professional done. I added each character too. The background first, they the pics I liked, then the text and now lines. I can't believe I made this!!! LMAO!!! Thank you also for all of your help. I am going back to see if I can play with the text now. I am never going to sleep!

Try using one of the "sponges" in your paint brush box......make your text
on a seperate layer, I magic wand the yellow letters,for the marching ants then choose a red/orange, "splotch" it till you get what you want!
I didnt have the exact font you used but I think from this you can get the idea!

Yes it helped. Thank you!

I am making a banner for this CSI Miami contest and I really want to spiff it up and make it professional looking. Which leads me to another question. How do I create that look with the color text. I know, I know. Don't laugh.... all right go ahead and laugh!

I so hope this helped.......you can also do an interbevel on the "white lines" while they have the "ants" around them to give it a conture......!
Fallstar.......that " csi lab" is one modern set up.......lol.....ultra in every way......and the light play the senimatographer uses is fansastic!....And I would like to second that Nightcrawler......there are the most wonderful and giving people on this site!
Thank you

Thank Chey,

I will give it a try. I kept thinking it was blinds but seeing you example and realizing to use a new transparent layer... it all makes sense. I do love this look and yes. I am a huge CSI:Miami fan. That is why i am always making walls and banners and manips for my website. Thanks so much for all the help and tips. I do love this site and all the wonderful people willing to lend a hand. :high-fiveThank you!

Good call Chey! I didn't realize there was a bigger sized image, and had to squint...I thought for sure the verticle white lines were part of the photo, like he was standing next to (or behind) a glass fixture!

feeds@yuku.com (Chey Wolftalker) — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:18:40 GMT

That is a wall......ok after you have it in place go to your image layer......use again your selection tool, and make "boxes" inbetween the white "stripes"
go up to adjust and use the blur till you have it like you want it!

feeds@yuku.com (Chey Wolftalker) — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:14:23 GMT

Have white as your foreground color........on a new transparent canvas.... use your selection tool and have your mode set at Add(shift).....
make as many elongated "boxes" from the top of your canvas to the bottom as you want and at different thicknesses!
Use your paint brush now and paint in the "stripes" You can now drag this to your CSI Miami image......or any other, but I love your example.....hugh fan of all the CSI's Loves C

Hey Thanks, This is really cool. Its amazing how we keep learning new things everyday!

Okay another question. This is a wall I made a while back but the pic is not mine. I am trying to learn how to duplicate the lines in this pic. Can anyone figure out what I need to create them? I tried blinds but it doesn't look this good.

yuppers,, thats a great tip cause when your doing straight lines that comes in so handy..

Re: line segments

feeds@yuku.com (Nanson) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:17:44 GMT

Great tip, mujersequra..

That works with other tools too, like the push brush and the warp brush.

Maybe everyone else knows this, but just in case . . . I was experimenting (with brush variances) when I discovered an interesting feature. Using a paint brush with its default settings or whatever you like, click once on a fresh layer, e.g., at the upper left corner. Then, hold down the Shift key, position the brush somewhere else on the layer (e.g., the middle of the layer), and click. A straight line using your brush tip will appear from the point of this second click to your first click....
