Venster's creative trials

[Venster]

I just downloaded the trial of photoshop, thus gave it a shot. First time ever editing a picture actually, so I still need to figure out how it works.

It looks a bit stretched out but good on your first try ^^.

[Venster]

Yeah, i wasn't sure about the size of a banner(If you know it, feel free to post it here or to pm it to me), but that is easily adjustable.. Also i haven't quitte figured out how to cut the bottom line off decently without messing up the pic.

[Miss Ember]

Well the maximum for a signature is 500x220, banners are max, I believe, is 500x200 or 500x150. Signatures are a max of 130x130 by the way ^^.

And I see, I don't really use photoshop, I use picnik.

[Venster]

Is picnik a free program/does it have a trial version? I'm always looking for new stuff to do so yeah, and i'll adjust the size of it, it was way too big in my eyes too..

[Miss Ember]

Picnik is free, but the best things are in premium ^^; you can look on my shop for examples for what they do. It's not as complicated as photoshop but doesn't have all the capabilites of it either.

Hey! I'm a Photoshop user so if you want tips or help, let me know. Like Mistake, stop by my shop to see a few of the signatures I made.

Welcome to the forum

[Venster]

Thanks for the help Mistake, and i'll take a look at the both of your shops. You were right on the size.

You've done a better job than my first attempt, at photoshop, by far.

Been using photoshop for a few years now also. If you have questions feel free to ask! (If Zelda or Mistake haven't already andswered them)

Photoshop always managed to find a way to mess me around (because it can't possibly be a fault on my end) so you're automatically much better than me. I only really use it occasionally for some of the functions, but most of the time I just improvise with Paint.NET. It's a great program with some great plugins (although they're a nightmare to find) and you can do great things with great improvisation.

Nice work!
