russ the red seems a tad to "rough" IMO, i think the "fuzziness" of omegas gives it a nicer feel.

Nice work guys, I'm not a superman fan but the work excellent I think, I like dark images cause I can see my icons better, I v'e been reading up with some books I got on these photoshop, paintshops and it so damn difficult, what I wouldn't do to get to you guys level.

Damn Russ I didn't know you were that good with these things, didn't you just start playing around with these photo softwares and you got this far already, man I'm jealous, I know the greenman and omegaman are like pro's with these things but you just started, good for you guy.

I bought two books on the subject, thick as bibles they are, got past several chapters not the easiest read, hell I can't even whiten teeth properly, the whole damn face turns white lol, both both photo and paint have a one click solution so they say that works like crap.

I have an idea of a pic I want to make or take of a certain symbol I have in mind, I would kiss some butt if one of you guys can make it look like this superman thing, I'll keep in touch, I'd love to have it for my desk top.

Hey Russ, whats that nursing home icon about, you planning on going somewhere LOL.

Thanks fred. And actually, I don't think the book would do much for me. It MIGHT teach me something, but...Im more of a hands on kinda guy. Im better off just figuring it out. I think you would be too. Unless im mistaken, the book is simply intimidating you. When I first gazed upon Photoshop, I was pretty intimidated. I started with a few tools, and went from there. That really is all there is to it. I knew once I got the basics of the program down, my imagination would take over. Lord knows i've got a vivid imagination LOL! I also like to write. I've imagined some pretty wicked imagery. But am STILL uncertain how to render such imagery. Time...time is all I/we need.

Mmm hmm. I remember your mentioning that before. I would imagine at the time, it was impressive. And now, Photoshop/Gimp are kings of imagery. I wonder what it will be in another 30+ years. Ive seen some other cutting edge programs. Such as Daz studio, Poser figure artist. Just to name a few of the other programs that intimidate me LOL! I'm currently trying to tackle "Sony Vegas" as well(Video editing).

Omeg and or Russ, guys I'm messing around with a bunch of pic's I'm tryiny to fix with paintshoppro, I have both PSPro plus Photoshop, just right now I'm using PSPro.

Omeg I know your pretty good with stuff like this, my first problem I ran into both PSPro and Photoshop would not open a bunch of my pic's, I would get the box saying (This is not a valid JPEG-JFIF File) I tried for hours trying to figure out what the hell was wrong and still can't find the reason, but anyway after googling and checking some forums the only solution I found was this one guy said to e-mail yourself the pics, open as save as, click on jpeg or bitmap, than send to whatever file or folder, and that worked, except what a pain in the ass, so much time, I'm getting googlied eyed here.

Would there be a quicker solution? Last question, I did read some that bitmap doesnt deteriorate as much as JPEG does especially if your transferring pic's often, and if bitmap sounds better why doesn't everybody use that, and what are the disadvantages bitmap if any.

I'm asking this since I'm transferring these pic's anyway and going thru all this time and trouble, should I be doing them in bitmap? I'd appreciate some help here from anybody that knows about these things and thank you.
