[Jupiter]

do you not save the version that you can open up & work on again?

 

[xxThanatosx89]

i probably should but i normaly dont

off subject but every gimp thing i see looks different than mine

 

[Jupiter]

has there been any updates or new versions since yours?

& you should get into the habit of saving those versions cuz so many times people come back and ask for the text changed on something lol

 

[xxThanatosx89]

yep my gimps out of date im downloading the new one right now
ill start saving stages then

Try using stock images at different layer modes and opacity levels for a better blending between the "render" and the background, one of my favs is 4 stock images: 2 stocks "soft light" mode and whatever opacity looks best, and two stock "normal" with parts of it erased to fit the focal, along with opacity changes as needed. You will have to play around with the layer position of the stocks because it is different for each design.

If you had photoshop I could show you a few really good blending techniques but I am not very familiar with gimp.

Always Always save a PSD or Stage file so that you can make changes after getting second opinions or if someone wants something changed. Overall I have seen significant improvement from the beginning of your app to now.

Try and google different tutorials. This will help you to step outside your comfort zone and learn new techniques. Great job though. Keep up the good work!

Thank you
Gimp makes me get frustrated so I only use it for special purpsoses otherwise I mainly use foto flexor

 

[XDC Jinno]

YES! you'll never use foto flexor ever again cause ill show you how to work it inside and out, no ho*mo lol

 

[xxThanatosx89]

Lol sounds good cause I'm pulling my hair out er time I try and use gimp only thing that makes sense is the color curves

 

[XDC Jinno]

well curves is very important, I've been using them a lot lately. at least you got that down.

 

[xxThanatosx89]

It's pretty much a final touch before I reupload it to foto flexor and grab the url

 

[Jupiter]

[XGC Zoidberg]

It looks great. If you need help getting photoshop, send me a private message. I get an "educational" discount.

 

[xxThanatosx89]

Thank you I'm ging to see if I can get it from one of my buds at school

Not trying to come off the right way but you need to catch up with the test images. Heres a link to all the test images.
