WOW! Great job!

I have it, too, but I've never learned how to use it. Sad, really.

http://img473.imageshack.us/img473/2235/smith35wy.jpgIt's so freaking complicated - what version do you have, CS2? To be honest, for 99% of things, PhotoShop "Elements" or another such program, Corel PhotoHouse or MGI PhotoSuite - all work fine.

PhotoShop is really for professionals - - although that Smith, and your D.J. Williams on your profile - look great.

Some of you graphics wizards make me a sweet avatar of Lelie or Darrent or Tatum.

I'll give you so many rep comments your head will explode.

Nice. But why did you spend the time on Steve Smith?

I love Photoshop. I'm okay, but I would love to get some formal training with it. It's amazing, though, the tutorials that you can find online. You can do just about anything, it seems.

So, here's a question for you all. How many of you that use Photoshop are using a non-pirated version of it?Uhh

There's non pirated versions?

My old computer had a version cracked, I loved it. Now I have to settle for this gay microsoft acryllic, which is a poor attempt at being PS.

It's the internet.

[GreatBronco16]

:crazy: I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just hate having the damn thing and not having the time to learn it.

Hell, I can't even figure out how to put an afro on Plummer like some user keeps doing on here.

[Pezman]

We have a couple of the best choppers out there. Two off the top of my head are DustyBottoms and BroncoFiend. Both are fantastic and made great siggies from their work.

[OrangeShadow]

id be happy to make people sigs,but we cant use them here

[Pat Bowlen]

I don't honestly understand the player photoshop thing, the picture of a player with their name and graphics and stuff... might as well just put a football card in your sig. I'd much rather see a hilarious photoshopped photo of that player doing something, or a clever twisting of a play that happened or something.

[RhymesayersDU]

I once had a football card as my sig, back in the day. It was a Watts rookie card that they had posted on his website.

2 strikes on that one.

[ChampBailey24]

just saw this on denverbroncos.com and thought it might amuse some people, in no way does it mean i want T.O. here. just to clear that up

[i4jelway7]

I would love to have one of the rookie cb's... Foxy, Paymah, & Darrent

[minibronco]

HOLY crap. that's good.

my best work so far. yes, it sucks. i posted this somewhere as well. ^5

[Pat Bowlen]

Jesus, my eyes.

Some of that is cool, though. Looks to me like you just need to work on your tracing/lasso.

[Circle Orange]

Photoshop? Never heard of it...Hilarious!

My Brother Made his own Card for Portis right before he got traded he had it as a demo on his web site to show prospective clients what types of graphics work he could do. Plus he enjoyed it. I will ask him if he still has his site up.

[GoBroncos DownUnder]

Well, I actually spend 30+ hours a week using Photoshop, but I don't do graphics the way you guys do, I enhance REAL photos, which means I can't do your avatars but I have done other crap like:

Eh, this is my first attempt at doing realistic fire. I think I gotta tweak the flames a bit but notice the subtle reflection.

At work I use Adobe 7.0 non-pirated.

At home I use Adobe CS2. Might be pirated, might not be.

[Play2win]

You know there is an upgrade tract to PS CS2 that isn't TOO expensive. Buy a copy of PS 6.0 off Ebay. REGISTERED COPY. Alot of European version out there for CHEAP (<$100). Then Just get the Upgrade from Adobe. That way you can get all the upgrades automatically!! :thumbsup:

You "honestly not understanding" - is honestly nothing new.

Whoever did that Clinton Portis as a crackhead photo the week of the Deadskins game, that was about the funniest one I've ever seen.

Well, like any true artist I can't reveal ALL my tips. But this should help.

Keep the hair on a separate layer until you're finished with it (then flatten image)

A high key color hair (like neon) can be changed by going to the 'color saturation' command. (orange can go to pink or blue)

Match face view with the hair. If the face is straight on angle, the hair has to be also. A side view face needs the same view for the hair.

HOWEVER!

To screw with the style, you can make the hair crazy using the transform tool, using the wrong view. This is good for weird and lopsided hairstyles.

use a good pixel size image to crop (approx 200 pixes square or up) don't use anything smaller, there's too much dropout of pixels.

Use hair that has a lot of texture. I added texture to Jake's 'fro' by cutting out an area and texturizing it, adding contrast. The result makes the fro look more natural instead of a big black cotton blob.

Always shade the edges of the face with a soft airbrush to make the hair 'sit' naturally. Make sure you shape the hair to fit the head or the effect is lost.

Hope this helps. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got another hairstyle to do...:~ohyah!:

Working on some text effects, here's a "Plastic" look.

Those are some mad PS skills, sir! I cut and pasted your tutorial there . . . PS confuses me with its layers, etc . . .

lol. yea. magnetic lasso sucks. I didn't feel compelled to erase the edges.

[ShutDownPoster]

Hey guys...I've been using PS for many years now. Started out editing family photos...and eventually started doing all my set design/interior design renderings in it.

The cylinder you see is an example of creating 3d images in PS...i use the airbrush a lot. A tip on using reflections is to slightly blur the reflection using the 'Gaussian Blur' filter. That filter is also very useful to tone down things so they dont look too sharp.

The set design you see was a pencil sketch that i scanned and painted in PS by use of the airbrush. I dont use a tablet or anything, just traced with subtle mouse clicks and such. Theres a trick where you can paint colors and still keep the pencil/line work underneath.

I havent gotten around to doing any Broncos stuff...but i'll give it a try and post..

If you have any PS questions....fire away....i'll see if i can help.

Jeez, Circle Orange, did we trade Plummer to the Chiefs or something?

I liked Marge Plummer alot better.

Okay, some people might say I have a vivid imagination, but there's been something creeping me out about Circle Orange's most recent Jake Plummer hairstyle.

Here's a little question for anyone reading this, and I want you to think hard about it. Think really hard.

How many of you have ever seen Jake Plummer, Seba the Tibetan Shih-Tzu, or David Crosby of Crosby, Stills, & Nash in the same room together?

Admit it - none of you have.

What am I getting at? A little thing I like to call "evolution" - that's what. I think this year's Jake Plummer might just be an imposter. I have reversed the process for the image in the message following this one.

[DomCasual]

I think you hear me knocking on this one.:~ohyah!:

[ShutDownPoster]

Here's a quickie..( i know...i forgot the hash marks..)

If someone could take the time to write a step by step on how to do some of those things or point me to a good tutorial, I would be forever gratefull.

[GreatBronco16]

Aight. Someone with their mad PS skills take this headshot and give him the preditor look somehow. Even if you can just get the preditor mask on him would be great. Thanks to anyone who can do this.

Check this one out. ludo emailed it to me earlier and told me he had done it. I didn't realize he was this good with Photoshop. I think it looks great. He said he did it all by himself. That ludo - he's like MacGyver!
