I know I'm asking a lot, but how did you do that picture were the missle blows up the jet? You don't have to tell me/us everything but even some of the information would be helpful. Like how you separated the parts and rotated them and the expolsion looks so real! How????? Also, when the missle is coming and it explodes into the jet I notice the missle's smoke gets lighter, is that a separate layer, where you can turn down the occupacity/ fill?

Thanks,

Matt

PS: Thanks for this forum.

Doing the jet picture takes a lot of time and patience. I'll try to recall what I did and give you a few of the details....

First, I removed the jet, pasted it to a new layer, and filled in the old background where the jet was. This way I could move the jet forward without leaving a white space behind it.

The missle was two copies of the same missle, one blurred and one slightly transparent.

The explosion was a picture I stole from Google Images That I just used the rubber stamp tool to make bigger and bigger.

And the jet I just cut into several pieces, each on their own layer, so I could move them independently.

Status: offline 		Kool thanks, I figured the jet would have to be in several layers so you can rotate them.
I uploaded a few pics of my abstract. Some day I hope to get as good at ps to be able to make the last pic and all of the neat stuff you did with the jet.

Thanks,

Matt

Status: offline 		Hi: The trial of your life is before you, me. Have had a computer for several years and almost know how to turn the thing on. When the name computer dummy was imposed, it was also for me. Ok, I just cant seem to post or send a picture in any manner, although I have been trying. Have decent equipment, I think? Camera a Pannasonic DMZ FZ 15, what sold me was the zoom. No problem taking the pics or downloading. In flopping around, I find a number of photo programs on my computer, a Dell 4550. #1, SDviewer for DSC that came with the camera. #2, Photobase 4.5, #3 Panorama Maker 3. #4 Photoimpre 5, and #5, Adobe Photoshop. In your view, which of the above programs would be the best for a true dummy. Instructions use a lot of words that I just dont know what they mean, or how to find out other than by accident reading through things. Copier is a Cannon F60 that also seems to have a photo program on it, but must leave this alone? If you would let me know what to get rid of, I can go to your "Postilng Images" of 2-7-05 and not (hopefully) get confused with all the programs on my computer. Being born pre WW-2 and the advent of tellie does not help. But, just like 3-D, will fight it until I get it right. Your help will be most apprecited.

Status: offline 		rmenke, Photoshop is the one by which all others are judged. It is the industry standard. If you have it, you can get rid of all the rest (Although you may want to hold on to the software that came with the camera in case it's needed for downloading)

Status: offline 		Is there a way to do a batch file across the board to auto enhance all the pictures you want, without doing one at time.
I am using, for now, the sofware that came with the Canon Digital.

In Adbe software too, or????

Thanks

Roger

BTW, the wife said my son and I could take that trip without her - That makes the trip a bit more possible - Maybe even this spring!
