Oh boy I give up...I just can't make them like I used to -dan

Yeah the people that live up the street were on. The Boyds. Cody plays in the same little league as me (some clips were on the show). Turns out that game he missed was the championship game against us and he was supposed to pitch, but they didn't have anybody left so we won the season. http://abc.go.com/primetime/wifeswap/episode/302/bio.html -dan

I'd love to...I saw this a little late, so do you mind if I do it tomorrow? I've got to finish up a client website and get it burned to a CD for approval tomorrow, a blog layout that needs some work, and a friend on Wife Swap in seven minutes. -dan

I'm also open for requests this evening...

Well the 'Hustle and "Throw" text, which is the same font that you used for Joey's sig...I guess it's OK but I've seen it a lot lately - both on graphics forums and at places like the mall - it's just starting to grow on me. My Steelers are doing well right now...let me go downstairs and make a few tutorials on text + some good examples. -dan

Wow fred13, you've really been improving lately. Your text still needs work, but I like your backgrounds and effects. :wtg: I'm open for requests today... -dan

lol I get mixed up with all these newcomers...like I got medric822 and BigJay mixed up a while ago, then Hokieboy came into that mix and I was like "wow you're doing a lot better!" Turns out that I mixed him up with some other artist...

STOP USING SCRIPTINA! Other than that, pretty good...The cut job on the bat is a little shaky, though. If you're cutting out uneven hair (like girls hair or curly hair), use a 1px feathering when using the Polygonal Lasso tool. Do the same when cutting out blurred objects. Feathering can be achieved at the top of the window. Maybe add an effect on the main image? -dan

Aah, sorry bro... http://www.simplicity-designs.com/download...lliesphan18.psd -dan

Ku-ku-kachoo...the turtle says it in the EAC, duuuuuuude. From Finding Nemo. :D

Well compared to what I wanted/what I've made it sucks, but if you like it, well then...ku-ku-kachoo!

Wow my mind seems really blank today... -dan

Does that work? I remember trying to do that before and it didn't work...maybe I was trying to stroke without selecting. If it doesn't, create a new layer, fill it with white, set it to Multiply, and then stroke it. -dan

Do you like blue, KC?

My next tutorial will be on how to properly use Scriptina -dan

He does have a border, it's just not black (which is perfectly fine). The text does need work, but it's a lot better than some of the other stuff I've seen... -dan

Seems like I may need to do some more, huh?

fred13 - when you have the pattern finished, go to Edit>Define Pattern (or something similar)...it doesn't matter what you save it as. Then you can do a pattern overlay or go to Layer>New Fill Layer>Pattern and select your pattern. -dan

Fred, to answer your question...first of all, to get transparency, at least for now, you need to save your images as a .GIF. The problem with GIFs is that it only has a capability of 256 colors - the colors aren't set, like "you can only use this red", it's really just 256 colors from your image, and anything else close to that is changed to the picked red. Internet Explorer displays .PNG's with a light blue background (which is one of the many things people hate about it), so that won't work either. I know my avatar has that background in IE - I haven't gotten around to changing it. So back to the sig. You need to get the background color of where your sig will be displayed - the easiest way is to take a screenshot of the page. I'm not at the computer with Photoshop right now, so I took a look at the CSS stylesheet for this site and the color you need to use is #EFEFEF. Just set that as your background color and you'll be all set. -dan

Yeah I'm hating 7th right now... :evil:

I was trying to theme it like MLB on Fox does with the old style...I'll play with it later. School tomorrow so bed for me right now, but I'll get you a "cooler" one tomorrow, Dom. :smile: -dan

I love that font, BTW...it's the same font I'll be using for my new, hip, Web 2.0 blog. I'll let you guys know when it's done. ^playing around with a new concept and background I just bought...kind of in a rush, I'll make another one if you want. -dan

Dom, you're next. After my game of Madden.

I'm assuming I shouldn't be combining that sig for Jose_Reyes, right? I can't understand why people would create multiple accounts, anyway... I used to be a semi-active member at NSL...I somehow got re-classed to Intermediate, and I gave up when I realized I couldn't compete with the rest of the guys at that level. Some real talent over there - I watch their battles and learn a lot from them. -dan
