Easy really, you get the pics you want and cut them together.........

This one is a combination of 3 pics........

http://hometown.aol.co.uk/Cjcooljonno/jnhijack_85.jpg

This one is a combination of 5 pics........

http://hometown.aol.co.uk/Cjcooljonno/jnmat005_60.jpg

Just find the background pic, then the pic you wanna put ontop, use the lassoo to cut it, then paste it on, blur the edge softly and hey presto...........there are also colour stuff to learn, but mast the cutting for now ;) :)

Choose your size, click ok :)

Tip, if you resize and its wrong, do NOT continue to resize, click edit the "Step Backwards", the more times you resize the less the quality is :)

Whats pissing you off??............You got a top Editing prog and expect to just be good at it??............It takes a lot of pratice and fiddling to be able to do a good pic, those I posted above only took about 10 mins each, if I spend a good hour I can make pretty much any pic look real, but you have to be patient, :)

So whats the prob you having now? :)

using lasso makes it look too messy
and how do i copy it onto the main pic

cos when i ctrl c and v it
it just places it randomly on the pic as u can see from above


how do i do it so it copies extactly where i want it




also after ive done all that
how do i do the writing thing like it says scribblec in my sig how is that done?

JONNO_CELEBS
11-25-2003, 12:58 AM
Once you have pasted it on, there is an "Arrow" at the top right above the lassoo, then click hold and drag where you want it :)

To do text you have to clcik on the "T" then to find the one you want is just a matter of fiddling :)

It's really hard to explain this in text so I hope this is helping :unsure:

JONNO_CELEBS
11-25-2003, 01:07 AM
:blink: You should'nt have a line..........

Ok.......

The pic you want to cut something off........

Lassoo.....
Cut round it......You have flashing dotted line
Edit......Copy

Click the Background pic to highlight it

Edit.......Paste

Arrow.......Place the cut where you want it......

Save as..

Scrib, calm down dude B)

Just think, I spent weeks learning how to use it, have been using it for 6 months and still don't know it all :)

I have no idea what you have done, you should cut the pic you want, paste it on your background, click the arrow, click and hold and move it to where you want it, then let go it will stay there, then save it.............

Not being funny Scrib but to be honest it sounds to me like you have little or no experience of photo editing, in which case I suggest you start a little lower down the ladder, say with Paint, or Paint shop Pro, you have a very technical prog with Photoshop, it's used by top editors for mags and newspapers so you're kinda jumping in the deepend wrapped in lead and hoping to float :unsure:

I'll help all I can but you seem to be doing something different to what I'm telling you :unsure:

Jonno B)

[email protected] freak out.........very soon :rolleyes: ;)
I agree with UKman, the best way to learn is to spend time exploring the prog :)

scribblec
11-25-2003, 01:25 AM
no he said computers and this is paintshop thingy which is different



also i do that
ok i have my transparent background
then i have my eminem image
i lasso the bit i want
theres this flashing outline thing

i go edit cop
then click on background edit paste
and it just gets stuck there
i cant move it or do shit
!!!


edit : im off before i break my comp :angry:

JONNO_CELEBS
11-25-2003, 01:34 AM
I'm sorry Scrib, I have no idea what you're doing wrong, I just went to check myself

Blank Back

Cut

Copy

Paste

Move


No problem at all so what the hell are you doing??

I'm off in a mo and I see you've gone but when you read this just try again and write down and post each and every move you make from the start ok :)

Then maybe I can help, but as it is I'm flying blind m8 :unsure:

adjust noise, blur, levels, and lighting to make the images look like they are actually part of the same picture.

11-25-2003, 01:59 AM
When you have copied and then pasted the image onto your background - use the tools i have mentioned below. Make sure you have the layer selected first otherwise it wont move to where you want it to. Then use the "eraser" tool to refine the edges......

Doing stuff like that scribblec is far from easy, especially in Photoshop, and when it start's making you want to rip your hair out (unless your bald in which case that would be "gouge your eyes out" lol) the best thing you can do, as you found out, is to save what you've done so far and take a breather for 5 or 10 minutes to clear your mind :)

So far though you're picking it up great and coming up with results that some people take week's to get :) (I'd imagine Jonno and UKMan's help is alot to do with that :))

Personaly I use Paint and Paintshop Pro whenever I want to do something like that, take's a bit longer (due to the edge editing in Paint being painstakingly slow) but the result's are worth it :)

Best of luck with learning to be a pro at it :)

a very small drop shadow will help text stand out a bit better too, scribble.
select the layer, & add a layer style.
Fireworks is also good for manipulating images.

It&#39;s a wiring layout for a video post-production facility (I&#39;m at work right now). Actually, I&#39;m having a pretty easy time of it. AutoCAD 2004 LT is a lot more intuitive than the 2003 version, I think.

Then it should be pretty straight forward. Try searching for a good tutorial online on google.
It comes more from practice and reading. Its hard to explain someone how to use it. Being complex than usual photoshop :P

You can try the tutorials, they are really helpful sometimes. :)

I use Design Architect (Mentor Graphics) for my electrical designs.

Google would be the way to go.

Take away the borders, try to erase some of the surrounding background from the faces and then merge them into the original bacground. Might look better. Remember to save each stage incase you change your mind.

well, as it is, i prefer the frames around the pix - i was thinking more in lines of trying to merge the faces with the background, but on closer inspection, that might not work.

The good thing about psd files, is you can have as many layers as possible and just choose those you would like to make the final jpg - great programme me thinks ;)

how do u do them moving pics?


and that eminem banner is great :D ;)
moving pix = GIF - you can actually make them in PhotoShop too. The idea is to create several scenes that in the end, create a moving picture, then save it all as one GIF.

You can also use GIF-Animator - a programme that puts together a lot of files into one animated GIF file.

There are of course other formats, (flash, avi etc) but GIF&#39;s are the easiest.

I doubt it.

Btw, you posted the other month that your mam hates you. Is this still the case or have you suddenly become an acceptable offspring.

Guess your memories a bit rusty. It was not that she hated me. She suggested I joined the TA at first as I have an interest in that sort of stuff (outdoors etc), I on the other hand, decided to look up a career in the army. At the moment I'm currently waiting for my A level results (thursday to be precise) to see if they're good enough for me to stay on or if I will be joining.:happy:


Nice of you to remember though and thanks for your concern! :D
