Yeah, I just can't think of a contest winning idea.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Wow, there's been a lot of discussion while I was disconnected from the internet for a week. mini/eek And to say the least, I'm not all that impressed with any of the entries so far. RealBrick's has come the closest, but the rest are meh. Yoder, I know you may be a stock photo purist, but that's only one opinion out of all the masters here. And to be honest, your entry might have suffered a little less if you had used a stock photo; you only used one technique and then splashed color on there (and the color wasn't very colorful either).

One thing I haven't seen entered yet, is the display of just one color in it's full glory. My reference photo was done in less than three minutes. I want yours to take a good twenty. RealBrick took color from many resources, instead of applying a gradient. The only downside is that's all he did. I want you to make the colors explode] or quietly be awesome. Tinker with color levels and creatively blend the image, don'e just cut out the images and have them fade to soften the edges.

Come on guys, I know you can do better than bicker over each others images. Just give me some soul!

It looks good RealBrick, except that the mask could have used a little bit of feathering. It looks like a really sharp mask.

This may sound like a stupid question (& wrong thread), but how did you make your signature, AncientEngine?

mini/lol And you have common sense?

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Wow, Realbrick's sig sure is true.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Well, think about it. You acted as if he should've already known the answer to the question, when obviously he didn't since he asked the question. It's all about how we interpreted your post in our heads, since we can't hear your voice. Maybe you should reread your post a few times, and let it sink in.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

UniLego, the Sun should have been in the yellow section, not the red. mini/wink  You could have used something like Betelgeuse or Mu Cephei or one of those red giants though.

And Yoder, you don't have to fire off so many mean comments all the time. It makes it boring to look in threads where these kinds of arguments happen.

Re: The Photo Manipulation and Creation Thread

Here is a simple one I did:
http://www.majhost.com/gallery/DaLegoMaster/Photoshop/balloon.png

The little guy is actually a brush a got, but I drew the balloon with the ink tool.
The font is called "Providence Bold" which is a great knock-off of the "Life is Good" font.

You can get the brush here and the font here.
