Fun with Photoshop

[marycrawford]

Did a schmoopy photomanip for the Less Than Legendary Journeys - it's up here. I still think Herc is having a bad hair day, but otherwise I'm beginning to like it. *g*

And dbw posted a very helpful two-part tutorial here and here about special effect filters in Photoshop: where to get good free filters and how to use them to make icons, with step by step explanations and examples. (Yes, this gorgeous icon is one of hers.)

Ooooh. Nice manip. :->

Thanks! I find playing with Photoshop either fun or extremely aggravating - this was one of the fun times. :-)

I'm with you. Though usually it's more aggravating. :->

I've actually sat through a couple of panels that Killa did on how to do this stuff, and while I'm sitting there, it makes PERFECT sense. But then once I leave, everything goes poof. :-/

Good schmoop! Ah, they're so in lurve.

Hurray, that's definitely the reaction I was going for. *g*

(But then, that's the anthem of every slasher since the dawn of time, isn't it? Some people think we should evolve, but me, I don't see why...)

Wow, I'm too tired to even appreciate the pretty. Yay for photoshop geekery! I should do some of that soon...

Let me guess - tentacles? Guys in dresses? Both?

Ha, as yet? Neither! Nya nya. *g* Though I do have this cracked out idea for an AU with Lance's very prim mother in a businesslike skirt, Sarah Connor tanktop and ammo belt accessory. But that's for another day.
