Well, I would ask for Rain, but I can never decide on her hair color...

Well, she has blue hair on your trainer card, if you'd like an avatar like that. Also, I'm now working off my "Germany" computer, a Vista supporting laptop "affectionately" named Jacob after the necromancer from the Dominic Deegan series, because it often kills programs, and then we have to bring the program back to life using it's evil powers. One of the programs it killed was Photoshop CS, and we discovered that only CS2 and higher runs on Vista. So now I'm working on Photoshop CS2 and I can't do the shading the way I used to for my art projects. What I did was put down the base colors for arms, clothings, etc. all on separate layers, 1 for the face, one for the body, one for the shirt, etc. Then I would make a new layer above the piece of the picture I need to shade and highlight to turn it 3-dimensional, and press Ctrl+G. This caused the layer to become something CS called a "Layer set". It would move with the layer below it, and more importantly anything you drew would be hidden unless it was over the layer below it, which meant that any shading you did would stop exactly at the edge of the arm, without me having to erase the lines that went over. CS2 has changed layer sets into Layer groups, and they no longer keep the illusion that my shakey shading is within the bounds of what is supposed to be shaded, although they do keep the "moving" ability. Is anyone familiar with CS2, or knows how to do the same thing, without having to resort to lots of marque tool use and layer switching? I have an art project that I'm working on, and all the base colors are down. img484.imageshack.us/img484/160/cleopi7.png |

So, how do I get the same effect that I used to have with layer sets? Right now I'm manually selecting the layer, creating a new layer, turning on a layer mask on that layer, and linking the new layer and the old layer.

Well, my annoyance at Avatars that are not 100 x 100 with good resolution has struck again. Pascal, I remade your avatar. Couldn't find a similar font face, so I just made do with one that I thought would fit.  |

 Made a new ava for myself. Went for a kind of Art Deco theme when adding the border-like stuff. I'm not usually a huge fan of boarders, but I think it turned out rather well. There are a few things that I might change around so it will look better when resized to this smaller platform. For those who are curious, the image is of a character named Zwei (Two) from something called Phantom of Inferno. No clue what it is, but I think I'm going to want to look into it. Here's my second version: any thoughts?  |
