<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Banks:</div><div class="quote_post">When I try to scale my pic so it fits in my 80 x 80 avatar..it takes forever to scale. Is their any way that I can scale my pic to exactly 80x80 without using the scaling tool for a long time to fit it perfectly at 80x80?</div>
Go to Image>Image Size and scale it down by typing in the dimensions in the provided boxes. Make sure that the Constrain Proportions box is checked.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Banks:</div><div class="quote_post">Also how do I make a picture fade in the background? like on Flem's sig:

</div>
Just lower the opacity of it in your Layers Pallete.

I vary my tastes all the time, and it has to do with a theme I am working on. Any font is good, just because I use a font that I like, doesn't mean you will like it. So go by your own instinct, and remember that designing is a way to release your creativeness, and not someone elses.

Well look who it is, what's up man?! Thanks for the comments, but I don't remember any certain KG wall, refresh my memory...
 
Also Sasha in a lot of Infante's sig's he has like an article blended in the background. How do you do that?
 
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Banks:</div><div class="quote_post">Infante creates the text himself</div>

no, like how does he blend it into the background so neatly...I don't think it's Layer>Layer Style>Blending Options

If you mean the text in his some of the sigs that;s blended in the back? ALl he did was type it out and did an outer glow from what I see and maybe lowered the opacity.
 
Sasha, I saw you have a Deviant Art account. I love that place although I haven't updated mine in awhile.
 
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Sasha:</div><div class="quote_post">Well look who it is, what's up man?! Thanks for the comments, but I don't remember any certain KG wall, refresh my memory...</div>

Nah Im asking when you gunna get around to making one ... got some good stuff over there.
 
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Courtking031:</div><div class="quote_post">Also Sasha in a lot of Infante's sig's he has like an article blended in the background. How do you do that?</div>
Can you explain is more in depth please, or you could just contact Infante if I don't understand it?

Yeah, just started it. I've always ventured into different things but had no place to post most of them, and I'd known about DA, just was hesitant. What's your DA id?

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting purehoops:</div><div class="quote_post">Nah Im asking when you gunna get around to making one ... got some good stuff over there.</div>
Oh. Request one at our
request page, and I'll get to it. Thanks for the comments once again. Also, TimFlem, just made one as well.
 
Sasha, I'm dyermaker. I commented on your DA btw.

hey sushi. up until yesterday i thought you were a female. no bull man i was like what?? sasha is a dude? can you confirm this for me? i still think your a girl!
 
If Sasha was a girl, then that would surprise me. I was knew him as a Sasha when reading his posts, because I knew a few people with the name Sasha that are guys.
 


my fault sasha if you already explained this but you have six pages in this thread.

ok how do you make the effect that knick has on his background that hard cube like effect?

Well this thread is about graphics and all, and you should have asked me via PM about anything else, but I'll let it slide. Yeah, I am a guy, and yeah it is a bit weird for a guy to have such a feminine name here in the States. Though, I'm from a different country, and over there it's cool, not entirely normal as is John, or Bob here but more like a Jeremiah or something. Also Sasha Vujacic (LA Lakers rookie has the same name, so do some Olympians, and other well known people).

Show me the image...
 
Sasha he means the grungy effect knicks makes when making his backgrounds(i think). Anyway I have a question again Sasha. I've been wanting to try out the pen tool for awhile now but I have no idea what it's used for other than shapes. Can you give me an explanation on what it's for?
 
You don't use the pen tool to cut out your players? That's the only way I can seperate them from their backgrounds - using the eraser is way too hard and takes too long.

Or, did I misunderstand your question?

You can use the pen tool for many things like cropping, and making shapes. The pen tool is just a tool like a pencil, it gives you the creativity to create anything. Just hit up some tuts on it first off, but don't just do it because everyone at WCR is doing it, do your own thing.

I have the hardest Q ever..How the hell do you put a border on something in Adobe PS 7.0 ...Im new to Adobe its not my programme at all.
 
Hey Sasha,

I'm sure you hear this all the time... but you do very, very nice work.

I tried out saving my file as a .PNG and I think it has the best quality out of all the file formats. Does it have its disadvantages and are we allowed to use them on JBB?

Thanks for your time.

Make a new layer atop every other layer in your layers pallete, then select everything but one pixel on the outside and go to Edit>Stroke, choose your color, set the bubble on Outside, and Opacity on 100.

Thank you for the kind words!

.PNG files are most commonly used as a substitute for .GIF files which are files for transparent images. .JPEG files are the most commonly used files on the WWW, and take up less space. As for .PNG files having any disadvantages, there is mainly one. Internet Explorer does not recognize .PNG files as transparent files as it does with .GIF files, but other browsers like Opera and Firefox do, so try to shy away from Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer leaves a background color of light grey in place of where the graphics is supposed to be transparent.

Notice how the smiley to the left has no background color, as it is transparent. It is a .GIF file which is the same as a .PNG file but at times more rugged. If it were to be .PNG file and if it were to be viewed in Internet Explorer, it would show spots of gray around it's corners.

Also, yes we are allowed to use .PNG files on JBB. To my knowledge we are allowed to use the most commonly used files on web, such as .JPG's, .JPEG's, .BMP's, .GIF's, and .PNG's.
 
Sasha, how do you do color blending like a lot of designers do? Kinda like some of your and TimFlem's work. Thanks.
 
It's me again Sasha
Something is totally wrong with my PS. Most of my filters that normally be there aren't. For example renders are gone,extract are gone sketch,and distort are gone along with several others. WHat shall I do or what can I do to fix this problem? Like none of the filters are there and I need to know how to get them back basicly.
 
hey sup

how do you guys get good fonts onto adobe photoshop and stuff, when i try it just doesnt work?
 
Well, first download them, (I suggest Da Font) go to control panel, click on fonts, and put the downloaded fonts there

How can I put borders around avatars?

You can see what I did with the one I have now, but I'd like to put a 1-line border around it. How can I do that? Thanks Sasha.
