Post your Photoshop Awesomeness!!!

Probably talking about stealing a rather expensive computer program shouldn't be done in a thread like this... besides, it's against the TOS...

:O:O:O:O:O
I just looked at photoshop cs3 and it was $650!

Just a reminder about our Site TOS.

8. No posts promoting illegal behavior will be tolerated, including but not limited to warez/pirating of copyrighted material, illegal drug or alcohol usage, and illegal ownership or trafficking of species.

If you are a student or a teacher or have a child that is a student check out academicsuperstore.com. I bought Photoshop CS3 for $298.00 and it's regularly $599.00.

Good luck!

When I was a student, I loaded myself up on software from academicsuperstore, JourneyEd, CampusTech, and Studica. It's a great place to get the best software at deeply discounted prices. Totally legit too. You just need a student ID. :gj:

Forgot about another good inexpensive program for Photoshop beginners. . .Photoshop Elements. The cost is anywhere between $69 and $89 (look for it on sale Staples, Office Depot, etc.). It has plenty of features to keep you busy for a while.

Photoshop can be a little overwhelming . . . I wish I had someone close by that could teach me a few tricks!

yeah..
i pretty much got owned for typing that....
guh like my third infraction in a week...


i have problems.


I DONT EVEN MEAN TO!
i do deserve them i guess...

and rules are rules...

Confusion?

I personally use Magic* eraser and change the tolerance levels according to my needs.

Guys, dont forget history. Its your friend!

i highly reccomend
ps3 extendid.

its a little pricey, but if you use it as a buisness, its great.

Here is my gallery:

Here's a quick video I did using the Pen tool. About two minutes in, I use the Contract feature, and then feather. It gives the edges a nice and soft edge vs a really hard edge that never looks right.

Hope some of you can find this technique useful :)

Big kudos to Deborah for letting me use that picture :gj:

Hrm... I haven't done actual photoshopping in quite some time.. I prefer Flash for the most part. Here's a combination of the two, a photo trace I did of myself, like three years ago. XD I don't have much recent work up...

Hm, depends on the version.
But I think it runs at about 699 or so. But as it says earlier in the thread, it's cheaper if you go through student programs.

i decided to post the banner i made for my deathmetal band "Dysmorphia"

Me too! I'd print it out, but we use an actual coffee machine thingy... It always upsets me to see a tablespoon left in the pot. :(

I was really bored a long time ago...

I have a few more of these, and will be making probably...two more of this one, along with the rest of them. so... 20 images all together, for different states they are in. Normal, Hover, Click, and Clicked.

Pretty excited!

These were images, that i removed the background from, then made the image solid black, used the stroke feature to put a line around the image. and done!

Alright um here we go.
