Post by: weazely on February 16, 2009, 01:28:27 PM
Well when I did post most of my entries for that contest I was asked a lot questions, so this is a place to get the answers.  I will be post most of my entries and you guys can vote of which picture you want to know how to create.

i was hoping you had the original, i used it before when you first posted it but the "stretching" to fill the whole desktop didnt do it justice.

it is a great shot with killer graphic edit/artwork!

First time I saw the screen after setting it as background I said "WOW!"

It seemed very realistic. I dunno what HTC was looking for but these are definitely better than the winning pic. (IMHO)

However, I was actually wanting this one, because the best I can do still has the black/blank screen on the left and right edges.

Hope you can send in that one later, but for now the wallpaper you sent me still keeps dropping my jaws (and drooling).

THANK YOU!

Weazely, I'd be most interested in finding out how you edited the following screenshots:

#1 (B-25 one)
#2 (Bf-109 vs P-38)
#3,4,5 (P-51 ones)
#7 and 8 (especially #7)
and finally #9 (Spitfire vs 109)

I know that's basically all your screenshots, so if I had to limit those, I'd go for:
#2, 6, 9

I'd really appreciate any help! :)

(Also, if you do write any tutorials, could you please try and not make it too specific to any program - as in if there's a tool exclusive to GIMP, could you please say what that tool does so a Photoshop user could find a comparable one?)

I am actually still trying to get a good quality program to record my screen, as soon as I get the program I will do all of them so people will come and go.  I also will do a series called "other" basicly anything not AH2 related.

About the tools specific to GIMP, I had the PSCs4 demo and you actually have every thing and then some.  :aok

1Plus, next time get rid of the Icons, look much better.

Only one I'm interested in was the P38 V. 109, was that done with the Desaturate tool in colors? I was looking at that and working on one that I noticed that it kind of had a nice color to it when you changed it. I'm sure you were working with Threshold also.

The flame tools, do you guys have it? Thanks to Jack, I got some work done on one, but I'm still not very good with the flames tools as of yet. I realy have a hard time with the colors for the flames.

Does that cover most of it weazly?
Title: Re: Tutorial of your choice!
Post by: weazely on February 23, 2009, 07:24:49 PM
I don't ever use threshold ;)



Edit: Also if you are trying to do the P38 v 109 with out multiple layers you will be upset.  Also does anyone have a link to a good desktop recorder?
