if i open like 10 images that i want to resize, is there a way to change the image size on all of them at once, rather than individually..

[nopes]

you can record an ACTION so you just have to click once to size each photo

- go to ACTIONS pallet - in menu click new action - then record - go through the proces of sizing one image- click stop button - then all you gotta do is select each photo and play that same ACTION
-or go to file>atomate>batch and do em all at once

it helps to name youre action too
you can use this for any long procces that you want to do repetedly

Officially - 5 1/2 years, real indepth - 3 1/2. Before that I was just fucking around and editing pictures and whatnot.

Compared to some of my friends (one of em made the Half Life 2 official site) I really don't know shit :burn: but it's good to hear some compliments with it. Self-taught on everything I know with photoshop and most of what I know with flash.

http://www.lasalle.edu/~aherns1/dartportfolio/start.html - my color theory portfolio in digital form which was finished today. Flash and photoshop. - see some of the other shit I've done.

There's so much out there that you can learn and pick up from other people it's nuts.

Thanks though man, hopefully I get good enough with my paint as I am with my photoshop'ing and I'll be in good shape.

[seeking]

no offense to anyone, because i've been meaning to make this rant for a while....
i just learned about brushes a couple weeks ago. within 4 minutes, i already hated both them and 50% of the 'design' that i used to think was cool. that shit is such a fucking cop out IMO, it's disgusting. i know no one will agree with me, and i dont expect them too, but the shit is just too easy. i downloaded about 100 brushes one night, opened up a blank document and just went through testing them all on top of eachother. half an hour later i had an image that looked exactly like all the hot 'graphic design' now a days, and was nothing but test scribbles. it made me so sad. being a 'designer' used to mean something, now, every fucking starbucks employee is a designer.

i know i'm way more 'hardcore' in my principles than i need to be, but i just cant help it. everything is already done for you now a days, all you gotta do is ptu the pieces together (and theres not even some esoteric science to that).
that font right above this for instance...isn't that the same font atreyu used? lameeeeeeee. motherfuckers (myself included) need to start making their own fonts and their own brushes, not just searching for distressed fonts and 'grunge' brushes. grunge was played out in 95 and it's played out in 05. i love fonts like that, but after downloading 75 of them, now every time i look at a bands logo, i just cringe, knowing that what looked like it took some time to actually make, was done in 7 keystrokes. :( it's fucking image plagarism IMO (image meaning a bands 'image', not image as in 'picture').

this is NOT a personal attack estrogen, the stuff you posted all looks really good, and had i seen it a month ago, i'd have jocked it, but now i just cant. now that i realize that stuff like that can be thrown together in literally under minutes.... i dont know...i just cant fuck with it. i went through this same sort of 'epiphany' with photography a year or two ago and have never really recovered since. everything is just too fucking easy now a days, i hate it. integrity is at an all time low (and still sliding). :(

again, i want to point out that im not attacking anyone in here. im attacking the entire graphic design world. shit is played out and motherfuckers are lazy. hell, i'm lazy, but i'd rather be lazy and not contribute to the downfall of standards, than keep tossing in my 2 cents that i've painted to look like dimes. no thanks.

seeks[/rant]

[estrogen]

well just for the record i make all my images from scratch not downloaded images or downloaded brushes.

[seeking]

dope. i'm glad you're doing it yourself, but then that raises the question... if you're not just rocking other peoples brushes, why make brushes that look exactly like everyone elses?
i know it's kind of unfair of me to question other people without presenting some insanely original work of my own, but i think the question is still valid anyway. i mean, dont get me wrong, i like your stuff, but it's pretty cliche, ya know? vector images...bold, clashing colors, distressed grungy looking brushes and fonts?

i dont know, i just want to see something that's different for a change.

[estrogen]

well that would make you famous. you come up with something new and see what happens. to tell you the truth its incredibly hard to be original. esp with design. for me its not the fact that it has to be original. its what i like. i dont do it for a living its just a past time.

[why write?]

seeking, post up some of your work, i wanna see...

[seeking]

i havent made anything in photoshop in years.
partially it's laziness, partially it's lack of time, and partially it's the fact that until i come up with something original, i'm not gonna bother pounding nails into the coffin of design. infact, it's not even just photoshop, i'm not nearly as productive in any avenue, simply because i refuse to allow myself to cover the same ground thats been done 1000x's before, just so i have something in that genre. maybe thats dumb of me, but i dont really care. i just know that i'd rather do oil changes for a living than use a dear/cowboy/mountain scene or any other contrived, tired image that i see every single time i look at a 'design' site. a few years ago it was all 3d robots and interstellar digital space scopes, now it's all 70's and 80's kitsch or emo screen print nonsense. it's just the usual cycle of things i guess...one decade pushes things into the future, the next rebels and reaches back to the decade prior. it's happened over and over, so it's not surprising that it's happening now, i just dont care to be a part of it.

estrogen,
i know it's hard to be original, but why try to be the same? i'm not gonna start nit picking, cause i'm absolutly not trying to pick on you. your stuff is fine for what it is, but don't you get what i'm saying? all of those images look like myspace banner ads, ya know?

whatever, all of this is just my opinion. i'm not at all trying to pretend like i'm 'right', or that there even is a 'right'. it's just the way i look at things, presented so maybe someone thinks about it. maybe next time estrogen does something, he'll say 'wait, how about instead of using this photo of a tree for a brush, instead i use_________' or 'instead of just using this distressed font that every other indy rock kid is using, i'll take helvetica and combine it with bits and pieces of times, rasterize, mask, erase, filter, etc, and make my own dope font that no one else has'.

just sayin.

[imported_Tesseract]

i used to be good

[heavyLox]

there are a lot of "cool" images but next to content.


Graphic design and illuistration by nature are useless if the message is lost in the design process. SO what seperates the work in the style seeking is talking about is the content. Beyond looking good the effective design using it is successful because the message/content/idea is clear and aided by the design.

[estrogen]

i hear ya seeking i hear ya.

[effyoo]

seeking, you said you haven't made anything photoshop in years. remember that picture of yours that was a handle on a boxcar? it had your name photorealistically 'engraved' on it. yellow, rust, and blue colors. shit was sick. that was a destructive piece of photoshop if i do say so myself.

[MESTHREE]

hey, this is seeking (i know it doesnt look like it, but trust me, it is).

i didnt do anything 'destructive' to that, it was just a photo i took, then used photoshop to give the illusion of my name being molded into the metal. it was a pretty good job if i do say so myself, considering i learned it as i did it, but whatever. i'll post it later when i get back to my computer.

oh, and for the record, mesthree is a big fan of brushes. she loves them. cant fucking get enough of them. she dreams about them and shit. it's bananas. she really loves the ones made out of maple leaves, cause she's canadian, and they're predisposed to liking stuff like that. it's in their genes. (like hocke....and beavers).

[Happy Greens]

Thanks for that seeking. I agree with you whole-heartedly.

Is the importance of style that's as much a part of graffiti as paint itself not as important in other forms of artwork? If graphic designers (vs. graphic artists) are infact not artists, then does it have to be that way? Are the people that employ these graphic designers not concerned with that designer's own creative touch? Why can't every graphic designer be a graphic artist?

I see many trends in computer art, scan lines, and those little honeycomb-like bunches of hexagons, to name a few. Same old fonts, alot of the same color schemes. Whats with that? Even something as simple as expanding on one font that already exists, much like a writer might expand on one letter style and eventually find his own, would make a world of difference. How about some curved lines instead of those same old straight scan lines? There's so much more than could be done, I don't understand why people play themselves to the same old bullshit

Even with a lot more kids getting into writing nowadays, graffiti could be seen as a rather esoteric artform when compared to something like graphic design, but I'm assuming the two artforms are roughly the same age. Graphic design could be seen as though it's progressing at a faster rate, with more people involved overall, more people developing software (as opposed to people developing paint I guess, when it mes to graff?), schools willing to teach people to use the software. Can't go to art school and get some sort of degree in graffiti writing. But when it comes down to it, who wouldn't say graffiti is progressing faster artistiCcally, with all this trendy stagnation in graphic art.

I seem to be rambling here, and have gone way off topic from the original post (I started that way, actually), but I guess what I'm trying to get at is uhmm... if graffiti somehow became more lucrative and 'useful,' would the progression of styles grow stagnant (One might argue that this is already happening, or event that it's already happened, but I don't see that.) like seems to be happening/have happened with graphic design? When things like Marc Ecko's 'Getting Up' and graffiti rugs pop up, does the progression of our artform take a beating?

[MESTHREE]

for me they are nice to look at but fall flat because its all glitz and now content. day or hours no content= no content. relating shapes to words in attempt to create a dialogue when theres no clear connection to the words and the images, is useless if your point to communicate a message, other then confusion.

[MESTHREE]

yo maple leaves rule. And if there was an igloo brush out there I would be jocking that too.

Brushes are cool if you understand the fact that using them doesn't make you a good designer. They are a tool. When I need to get some shit done fast they are great. I am completely aware that I am not creating something groundbreaking or original...and why not? Cause... I don't get paid enough to do that. I don't have time to make every single thing I create a masterpiece of originality. I have to pick and choose. Its hard sometimes when you make images for a living. I want to make everything I do for a client or otherwise a work of art but there is only so much time in the day. Its always a struggle when you have to balance artistic integrity with paying the rent.

[seeking]

heavylox needs to use the 'spell check/grammar' brush.

estrogen,
personally, that image does pretty much nothing for me, but i respect the fact that atleast it took effort (even if it is slightly cliche). i'm not saying everything has to be super original, obviously thats impossible, but it seems that things have gotten to the point where all anyone does is copy eachother. it's probably always been like that since the begining of graphic design, but now a days it seems like people have more ego about it or something. also, 'back in the day', even if you bit, you still needed a certain amount of inherent talent, now a days you just need rudimentary hand-eye cordination. not quite the same.

i'm not trying to take the wind out of anyone's sails. if someone is happy and content with what they're doing, then i'd hate to ruin it for them, i'm just sharing my opinions.

mes33.3,
dont worry, your RA illustration is totally exempt from any and all criticism. ha. the difference between that and some of the stuff here, is that you used brushes to compliment the central figure, not as the central figure. plus, yours totally made sense with the image and story. on top of that, you're a girl, thus held to the 'good for a girl' standard, which much like push ups and playing catch, carries a much lower level of expectation.

[heavyLox]

seeks i havent found that brush yet, and i think the mis=pellings ad a rustic kinda feel to my posts.

[seeking]

did you try a google search? i think 1001freefonts.com had a link to a site that had some at one point.

i didnt even think that you might be doing it on purpose though. you're right, it did give it an earthy, 'back to the roots' kind of feel. very 'ethnic', like african voo doo masks on dentist office walls!

[heavyLox]

c Now you wif me son, AFRICAN masks? nah baby thats my face love it or Brush it out.

naw, i wont brush you out, i'll just adjust the curves a little bit and set you back to 'cracker'.

I feel uncomfortable showing those last two pictures, but also good. They are from a very strange time in my life about 3 years ago. And are meant to be seen successively in vertical order. I asked the girl who is in the picture if I could show them to people and she said no, but fuck her I haven't talked to her in years.


And I've never heard of these brushes things, but I did notice that there are some weird brushes built-in to the new Photoshop (I went from 4.0 to 7) that I never use.

Depends on what you're using. You can do vector just fine in PS but can't really do raster that well in Illustrator - it's all how you use what you have. I just hate how Illustrator is layed out and functions for whatever reason or I'd be inclined to use it more often.

[MESTHREE]

I dont do much photo manipulation which is all I would be using photoshop for. I find photoshop's vector elements to suck. The problem is that illustrator is a little more complicated or...confusing than photoshop at first. But once you get the hang of it and the short cuts its much easier to use. in my opinion.

Im just saying that applying a cut out or solarize filter to your images doesnt make it creative. sure people post things saying 'just messing arround in photoshop' but obviously you must have thought those things worth something to post them. There is more you can do in photoshop than make awkward collages and throw in some filters and brushes.

Im not an expert in photoshop at all. But I also know crap when I see it.

here are some things from a number of years ago. Annnnd not to be a hypocrit but 1. I don't think these are spectacular and 2. Im posting them because you asked and yes these were just 'messing arround in photoshop'

Well, I'm glad you're being honest. Thankfully, I did them for me, not for you.

The one with the girl in the middle, the most blatently collage-like, was all pictures that she made that I felt inclined to throw together. I used to talk to her over IRC years ago. And to be honest, the whole experience was awkward and chaotic, in a BAD way. It's not something I did for everyone to see but it was so long ago I figured why not post it here. The first picture I posted I really like, the others I don't really care about anymore, but this is the Photoshop thread so why not post em. These aren't works of art anyone is claiming to put up here, more like works of hobby. I'm not sure what you were expecting coming in here, Mes3, I mean even the shit you posted is pretty boring. It's Photoshop.


But like I said, I appreciate your honesty, you're the first person to say it's chaotic crap and in ways it is. But I still think the first two pictures I posted are pretty cool.

:p

[MESTHREE]

so youre saying you intentionally made those to be crappy?
I dont buy it. but okay if you say so.

I also dont believe that people create 'art' just for themselves. art beggs to be displayed or else it looses whatever meaning it may have but thats a whole other barrel of monkeys.

Photoshop doesnt have to be boring.
What did I expect to see? I didn't expect anything. Im just saying.

I look at those things you posted and I can see the hrmm lets see motion blur filter, beveled edge filter....eyecandy maybe? the crystalize filter? The composition is not successful in expressing the kind of chaos I think you are getting at and the colours have no connections to anything. And I dont really buy the explaination that 'I was trying to express a chaotic in a bad way' argument. there are ways to do that that still display some level of design skill.

Anyhow Im not trying to tear you down. I just know from too many years of garbage art school that honest critiques are more valuable than being fed bullshit.

[fermentor666]

Yeah, I don't go to art school so that's why I like honest critiques, cause I don't usually get them.

I think you're misunderstanding me on the whole chaos/awkward thing. No, my intention was not to create "shitty" artwork. The one that I specifically said was awkward and chaotic in a bad way, the one with the girl from IRC, what I meant was it came out that way BECAUSE it evolved from a chaotic and shitty situation. To me, it has some value, it's like a dot on a timeline. And I don't think it's pure garbage either, which is why I posted it here. What I do realize is that it is not a masterpiece. But I don't think it's garbage. And yeah, there was probably some bevel in there, I think on the flowers. Maybe some eye candy too. The sequence of black and white-ish distortions is clearly eye candy to anyone who used it before (the spiral filter), but whatever. The eye candy filter is there for a reason: for me to use.

I'm pretty sure I didn't use crystalize. Just about all of them are from early 2002, done on photoshop 4.0. I can't really say for sure what I used other than what the obvious ones are (ie: motion blur)

The only recent ones are the first and second ones I posted, which I did this weekend. Motion blur was used, and I might have done a sharpen or two but that's it. The rest was all contrast/brightness, blur tool, the eraser, and cut and paste. You want an explanation as to what it's about or what it is portraying, the best I can say is that it's supposed to be nightmarish, I do this stuff listening to a lot of music, I usually take a couple of images or designs and just go with it for a couple of hours. That's the end result of a three digital pictures I took of myself on a low exposure to get a blurred effect, the light is from a garage, and you can vaguely see some flowers I took a picture of a couple of months ago. What looks like a goggle eyepiece is actually my ceiling lamp. I think it looks cool.

The long black and white one, just riffing on electronic noise, nothing too deep. I like the way the latter images contain depth between the noise and the light source to the left.

The picture of the guy with his hand to his head is a picture I took in NYC at the WTC site in 2002, pasted over a picture of people from the gaza strip I grabbed from CNN, pasted over another WTC site picture. There's no message, I called it "headache" and tried to make it seem like, well, the title. But I'll admit it doesn't come off to good in completion.

I don't do this a lot, I usually mess around with photoshop two or three times a year. It's a hobby.

[fermentor666]

I think it's also worth pointing out that a collage, in general, does not have a cohesive theme like a Red vs. Blue picture or a girl in a mini-skirt does.

From dictionary.com:

col·lage ( P ) Pronunciation Key (k-läzh, k-)
n.

1.
1. An artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color.
2. A work, such as a literary piece, composed of both borrowed and original material.
2. The art of creating such compositions.
3. An assemblage of diverse elements: a collage of conflicting memories.


I guess I put those up there for someone to make their own ideas as to what they are about.

In particular, the IRC-girl (Jenna) pictures are me taking her photos and putting them together to make some sort of idea of what they look like as a whole. If you saw the original photos, maybe it would make more sense, and if I told you the back-story, which I won't here, it would be pretty clear that the two pictures do, indeed, have a point and you would be able to pick up on the emotions I was trying to put across. You could still hate it, but maybe you'd come to a better understanding of what it stands for instead of seeing it as a jumbled mess of pictures. Which is understandable.

I've only showed those two pictures to three or four people before posting them here, and those two I did in early 2001. They were made for me despite what you think. But I also wanted to post them here to see if they'd get a reaction. Most of the art I do with the idea that other people will hear or see it. The photoshop stuff is more something I do for me, and maybe I'll show it to a couple of friends and that's it. These aren't art-school projects or works that I'm showing in a gallery. This thread was too tempting not to post some of what I've done. I think in a way it contrasts nicely with some of the cleaner, obviously themed pictures that have been posted here so far.

Not trying to anally defend my pictures or lecture, though it might come off as that, just trying to give you an idea of what I do.

to be honest MESTHREE, your stuff is really not that hott, for you to critique others so harshly...your work as well is mediocre... maybe you were just kidding around in photoshop though? or then again it could be the years since you used the program?

[fatalist]

^^^^^which ever, i still don't understand why you have this superior ego...that your some kind of PhotoShop guru.. i don't consider none of my work garbage, so i posted it up on the thread, wheather it was appealing to others or not.. thanks though for your genuine opinion.

[seeking]

weak design is weak design no matter what program or medium you're using. mes's critique is on lack of creativity, not lack of technical ability. it's also the same thing i spoke of a page or two back.

maybe i'm just a different breed, but i'd rather be knocked down than riding on a load of horseshit. i'd rather someone be brutally honest than blow smoke up my ass.

whatever, folks will hear always what they want though.

[MESTHREE]

fuck. by now you would think that I would know that people on here are infinitly stupid but no. Im always a little shocked.

Listen.

Fatalist:

First off. I meant that its been years since i used photoshop like that. I use it all the time. Just in a different way from alot of the stuff on here.

I am honest. I can critique anyone I want as harshly as I want. Just like you can. its up to you wether you take it to heart or not. Go for it. critique mine. I can take it believe me. I can aknowledge the weakneses in what I do and not try and cover it up by saying "oh its just an experiement or "oh I just did it for myself" or "just messing arround in photoshop". Dont be a fucking pussy. If you want to get into art or design or illustration you need to start growing a thick skin.

I am no kind of photoshop guru. There are so many ways to use that program and I am well aware fo the fact that I know but a fraction of them. I never said my stuff was shit hot. If you wanted me too I could tear my own stuff apart right now worse than any of you would ever be capable of... anyhow...

And what are those two things you just posted? honestly....you want me to get into those? you probably don't. But if you do let me know.

fermentor: you said:

the problem with this is when I look at those.. I get nothing from them. All I see is some poorly executed predictable photoshop filters. Is that what you want people to see when they look at your "art" or "hobby" or "experiment" or whatever excuse you are calling it? Because Im sure thats what any person with any critical eye at all will see.

When someone looks at a piece of "art" they should be able to get soemthing from it without any back story. wether it is the message the artist intended or not. If you have to explain the shit out of this stuff for me to get something from it chances are its not that successfull an "experiment"

I also dont know why you are quoting the dictionary. I know what a collage is and the dictionary doesnt rationalize anything. Because the dictionary says that a collage doesnt have to be cohesive that makes your work legit? Weak argument.

Well it's your problem that all you see is poorly executed photoshop filters. The majority of what I posted contains very few filters except some blur. And yeah, I think I pretty much said that the two Jenna pictures that you are fixated on are failed experiments. If you don't know anything at all about where the pictures I used came from, you wouldn't see it like I see it. Doesn't mean it doesn't hold value of some sort. Those two pictures, at the time they were made, were made for a very small circle of people, not for my teachers and paint-buddies at the art school I never went to. Time has passed, I posted them here, and it's apparent that at least one person doesn't understand them and that's cool. And I have had a fair share of compliments as well as negative criticism.

I'm not using the dictionary to argue for the legitemacy of my artwork. It's legit. I made it, spent time on it, it exists. It is legit, whether you happen to like it or not. Pictures of clowns are legitimate, even though they almost always suck. The arguement I was making was to negate the statement that it is weak because the theme is not apparent. The theme is not supposed to be apparent.

You don't have to like anything on here, art by it's nature is never universally appreciated, it wouldn't be art. I like criticism, if you want to tell me something I made is garbage, that's great. Saying it's just a bunch of filters, however, is like saying a painting is just a bunch of chemicals. And there is a concept of design, I think that much is obvious. Back up your criticism with statements that are more complex then "I don't understand it, it doesn't have a message to me" or "it's just a bunch of filters" and I'll hear that and appreciate it more.

But when you call me stupid, that's when I write you off as just another jaded art school bitch, and I've seen hundreds of people just like you so I have no problem accepting one more into the mix. Stick with your peer groups and review boards if you don't want to deal with the people here trying to have a conversation with you.

And I, for one, am glad that not everyone who makes artwork uses a paintbucket with layers over a picture of some douchebag in a miniskirt.

[seeking]

douchebag usually refers to a dude. you should have said whore. now your joke is totally shot.
:(

[fermentor666]

Fuck. :/

[MESTHREE]

haha fermentor:

Sorry I wasnt directing that stupid comment towards you. Im actually impressed that you are willing to hear criticisms at all because many arent.

First of. youre right it is partially my problem that I dont get what you are trying to say... but its also your problem. Art is about self expression and if your self expression, If what you are trying to express is not comming across then it is your problem as an artist. I mean, If you are going to type up and hand out an info sheet with your stuff even if you are just showing it to your inner circle of friends then fine.. it makes sense. but to expect anyone else to get the message you are trying to convey is a bit unreasonable. so what did you expect to hear after posting a piece that you knew no one was going to understand on 12oz?

I am sure what you do has value to you. I am not sayin it is worthless. I am just asking.....is what you are trying to convey being successfully expressed?

First of all we will butt heads because I believe all art is created to be shown. I do not believe that any artist creates art just for themselves and yes that is my issue and my belief. I also dont believe that simply by being something becomes legit. again.. my belief. so we can agree to disagee there.

What I am saying is... if you have something worthwhile to say.. and I am not saying that you dont. then maybe you have to explore a little more and try a little harder to get it out. I think the technical inadequacies and lack of creativity in those pieces you posted is taking away from whatever good idea you started out with. and not that I think what I create is any more successfull than yours either. Its a learning process that never ends.

you said:
You don't have to like anything on here, art by it's nature is never universally appreciated, it wouldn't be art. I like criticism, if you want to tell me something I made is garbage, that's great.

Back up your criticism with statements that are more complex then "I don't understand it, it doesn't have a message to me" or "it's just a bunch of filters" and I'll hear that and appreciate it more.

I am not trying to argue about the subjectivity of art. I am talking about successful expression of intent. Sure saying its just a bunch of filters is like saying a painting is just a bunch of chemicals. I feel that if an artist isnt expressing their intent successfully than that is exactly what a painting is. I have seen photoshop work that uses filters and is successful. its all about how you use the tools you have at hand.

you also said:

Stick with your peer groups and review boards if you don't want to deal with the people here trying to have a conversation with you.

okay I explained the stupid thing and as for being a jaded art school bitch. ... youre right I am. But art school and some real life experience have taught me a few things. One is how to take (or ignor ) criticism and the other is how to dish it out. Please take everything I say with a grain of salt. As you said yourself. I am no authority. Just another opinion floating arround in cyberspace.

I can deal with people having conversation such as yourself. What I cant deal with is people who spit out silly excuses and dont back them up or who just repeats things and thinks itll be better the second time arround like fatalist was.

[fermentor666]

Well that's better. When I posted it here, I really had no idea what to expect (although I will stand by my opinion that the first two pictures are pretty cool for what they are), and if that's what they seem like to you (not pretty cool) it's good to know and it's also good to know why.

I am not planning a career in Photoshop but who knows when it might come in handy for me. Most of the artwork I do falls mainly in the videogame (level design) and music catagory, with a little bit of graffiti as a side dish. The highest regard I hold my Photoshop to would be that maybe some of it would make a good cover for a 7 inch. Maybe it wouldn't. It's good to get criticism on whatever though, because it helps me to clear my head up on whatever I'm working on.

I think with most of these pictures (and a few others that I didn't post here), they are from a time when I was starting to figure out just what the hell was going on with my life, and well I don't really know where I'm going with this, let's just say they are like B-Sides, C-Sides, or even outtakes. Rough and relatively undigestable without some idea of where the hell they came from. And even then they still might suck.

It's good to take criticism into other areas of my life and art. I don't really get a chance for much outside input and I would rather hear feedback then be ignored or simply waved along.

How to get the lomo effect in Photoshop (http://yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/~tbujor/blog/archives/000010lomo_effect_in_photoshop.php) (some actions to download in the link as well as these instructions).

File: Open: the picture you want

Image: Adjustments: Brightness/Contrast: increase contrast by 20

Image: Adjustments: Hue/Saturation: increase saturation by 20

Choose the Rectangular Marquee Tool (your basic selection tool)

Change feather amount to 1/12 the width of your picture (if your picture is 600px wide, as all mine are, then you will set your feather to 50px.

Select your entire picture note: using select: all, will not work

Select: Inverse

Layer: New: Layer

Change your primary color to black. Fill the selection (on the new, blank layer).

Change the blend mode of this layer to Overlay

Layer: Duplicate Layer

Now select your base layer (the one with the picture on it).

Layer: New: Layer

Change your fill tool to Gradient

Change your Gradient Type to Spherical

Change your Gradient Shading Style to "foreground to transparent" (I believe this is the default).

Change your primary color to white.

With the fill tool selected, click in the middle of the picture, and drag the line out to the farthest edge of your picture (if it's a portrait, use top or bottom, if landscape, use left or right).

Change the blend mode of this layer to Overlay

Change the Opacity of this layer to 80% (or whatever you see fit, you'll see what I mean).

Now you are actually pretty much done. You can merge the layers together if you wish. I hope this was easy enough to understand. I may have made it much more difficult than it should be, but I don't know enough about photoshop to make it any easier on myself. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I would be happy to help. I will try to make my actions available by the end of next week.


Also something else (http://www.flamingpear.com/melancholytron.html) quite similar.

it's funny that you say that and don't post shit. let's see it.

[seeking]

don't automatically assume that just because someone doesn't post something fresh, that they're incapable.
the anonymity of the internet can go both ways.
;)

[casekonly]

indeed it can, but i can't stand shit talking without back up. i dunno. perhaps that would mess something up....i mean, apparently you know who this person is. fuck it. i'm tired.

[seeking]

if you're going to emotionally invest yourself so heavily in posting your work, then you're doing it for the wrong reasons. he wasn't really 'talking shit', he was simply stating his opinion in a very curt manner. big deal. it's an opinion from someone you know nothing about. if he was blind, would you still be offended? if he sucked terribly, would you pass it off as jealousy? if he proved to be talented, would you then see it as constructive?
i agree it can be a bit annoying if someone comes in and makes incredibly harsh, personal criticisms without showing any actual understanding of the subject, but even then, so what?

and just to play devils advocate further, if he had said 'this stuff is fresh', without posting any of his own stuff, why would it be much of a compliment? praise can be just as unwarranted as criticism.

i was just tired. what you said makes sense. it's just that veteran status syndrome creeping up on me.that and lack of sleep. thanks for keeping it in check.

[bigpoppa.k]

i wasn't commenting on the quality of the work posted. i was commenting on the back & forth critisism/bickering/fighting going on...
i thought it was funny how some people got truly offended and almost downright mad / pissed off by other peoples opinions, so i stated it.
people just need to chill and take it as it comes. its not the end of the world...
if its that important to you casek... a logo from 2000. sketched / illustrator / photoshop rendered.

i agree. i'm always happy to see new stuff by people who don't post too much or whatever. good to see developing styles, too.

[seeking]

dont rely on filters, brushes and edge effects to make your images 'good'...make good images that sometimes utilize those techniques.
seen?

that was my impression of em as a jamaican.

[Coffie Crave]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/monsta4131/take-digi.jpg

im sorta self tought when it comes to photoshop and programs like it...did this last night chouldent sleep...its sorta slopy , dose anyone know any good photoshop books/sites?

[AW]

That last piece looks good.

I'm self taught as well, and so are most people I know when it comes to Illustrator and Photoshop. If you see an effect you like, email the person that made it and ask them. For me, playing around with stuff in PS is the easiest way to learn.

Bert Monroy has a Photorealism book that is a good start, but most PS books are a waste of money in my opinion.

[WRECKONIZE]

could someone tell me how to make even borders on my photos in photoshop?
right now i am just enlarging the canvas size and filling it in black, but changing the canvas size seems to make the borders uneven..

You might have to show what you are talking about.
What size was the original? what size is the new file?

It seems like all you have to do is re create the borders on the new file. Are they squared off like a polaroid, or are they custom made?
