lol ya....i was kinda stump as to how to do that.....tried to figue it out, cant, so posted here....i was thinking of just using the stupid pattern maker...and copy the pattern of a melon and then put it on the avocado....look a bit odd though...but thats the best i can do so far.

unless i decided im going to color the thing w/ color pencils. lol :lol: :lol:

[Mr. Elmo]

btw, whats the best software to use to make a poster ?

[fkdup74]

eek, cant help ya there :(

i mean, wouldnt that also require some harware too?

if your talkin about, like, wall posters or something?
(how big are those feckers? like 3' x 6' or something?)
well there are smaller sizes, but not samll enough for a desktop printer :lol: :P

forgot to mention, there has been a couple of lists for
tutorials posted for photoshop, big lists with url's to sites
try and search back through the forum,
i think sharedholder posted a really good one,
but you may have to look a couple of months back or so

put both the images into photshop

in the layers toolbar - grab the 1 layer of advocado and drop it directly into the image of the Wtrmln.
take pointer tool - move it so it fits
In the layers toolbar - choose the topmost layer (probably the advocado) and at top of the layers toolbar - lower the "opacity"

(if you cant work it out search in help for opacity)

there ya go, i knew someone would stop by with some good advice :D

btw, what are you gonna name em?

avamelon and watercado? :lol: :lol: :lol:
(ok, that was a crappy joke :P )

i may be late but this is what i was thinking and im not fully sure of what u meant...

1. Move watermelon layer over avacado layer
2. Ctrl click on avacado layer (which selects the all of the avacado [aswell as the background so make sure you delete the backgrounds around the layers]
3. press shift + ctrl + i (to inverse the selection)
4. click on watermelon layer
5. Press delete

And there u go u have a watermelon in the shape of an avacado
But thats a damn weird project for bio, wouldn't that be a computer art project ?
