The Random Topic

I figured I needed a place to discuss about random topics. BUT PLEASE, KEEP YOUR SANITY INTACT. You can talk about anything here, but not like "SPAMMMMMMMM OMG MUDKIPS"

Introduction aside, SOMEONE TEACH ME HOW TO BE GOOD WITH PHOTOSHOP D:<!!

I can only do little things with Photoshop :'(
TEACH US SOMEONE!!!!!

That's definitely not easily taught haha

I don't even have got photoshop xD"
I only use gimp, paint and paint.net

Oh, I use Paint.Net for like, frankenspriteing, tile edits, recoloring, and a buch of graphic related stuff. I think it's amazing.

I would definitely recommend Paint.Net and Gimp as starter programs, once you are fluent in those two, you should be totally okay to start trying your hand to Photoshop. Also, hit up Youtube, I know watching How-To Videos really helped me as far as developing certain techniques like learning how to use the different blending modes for layers to attain different effects.

I learned from my sister, actually. I started in Gr.7. But she just taught me really, really basic things like multiplying layers and how to use the brush tool. (I didn't find out about locking layers until I asked in Gr.8... >_>)

I really only learned how to use photoshop well by doing random things and testing different functions. Once you know how to use it, it's amazing. I've never tried using gimp or paint.net before, though. It looks complex, lol.

I learn t how to use photoshop by myself... I don't have many people to ask...

Maybe its beacuse of all those years of paint...

Me too I learned photoshopping by myself, I pretty much play everything click everything i see and experiment with it, what it does and what it makes

OKAY. HANZO SAYS CLICK EVERYTHING AND USE EET.

* shadwblitz clicks everything in PS and watches his comp explode *

Just do little itty bitty things and you'll get used to it. =) Try to ignore all the fancy-smanshy stuff and learn it all one by one. It helps if you just build on what you know. Like, using the brush tool set on normal mode and then eventually trying other modes like multiply, colour, or overlay.

It's very easy and useful once you use it for awhile. Trust me, it'll make you say stuff like, "wow, I'm so glad I know how to use this" after you do.

Okay: We should name this the Photoshop thread...
Since it's random, why don't we change the subject to WHY THEHUNTER1787 DESERVES 100000 REP

BECAUSE HE DOESN'T. *NOMS ON THEHUNTER1787* What are points and rep for, anyway :O

You see the + and - sign on the right side of every post?
thats rep points if you have higher reps you are like more treated/liked and more thanked by other members it shows how much you contribute to the forum ... something like that

Points shows your activeness and based on this:
Gain per profile message : 1 point
Gain per friend : 2 points
Gain per day since registration : 1 point
Gain per post: 1 point
Gain per topic starter: 3 points

Makes sense

I don't see a plus or minus....odd.

I second this, paint.net is an easy to use program that can be very good with the right plugins

Yes, it's all I use RMVX-wise. Very useful and effective. Easier than Photoshop and Gimp 2 to do easy, small graphics editing.
