I'm still trying to figure things out...
My latest experiment is the banner in my sig...XD

lil' jose July 19th, 2004 8:03 PM

okay thanks! but I have paint shop pro. darn.

You're not getting any thing from Paint Shop. I think you can set layers using PhotoShop, but I have an extremely old version of it so mine can't do it very well.

You can do it with Paint Shop Pro too. Any of the good graphics programs (Photoshop, PSP, Fireworks etc) will do it. Just put the images on different layers and set the opacity/transparency (depending on your graphics program).

I could've answered that. >.o

Transparency is quite useful. :)

PichuSecretBase July 20th, 2004 7:45 PM

The opacity tool can come in useful alot ^^ Try playing around with the percents in a program besides paint and has layers to get where you want it. Generally in more the slider is right on the layer pallete ^^

Geometric-sama July 20th, 2004 8:03 PM

I love playing with transparency... but I tend to layer too many things XD

PichuSecretBase July 21st, 2004 3:57 AM

Nah, I use tons of layers XD. Ive started even using basic layers for text instead of vectors since its easier to edit XD; For a normal banner I use nearly 20 layers *website banner*

Geometric-sama July 21st, 2004 7:59 PM

Uh huh, I mean I put picture on picture on picture etc... all with varying transparencies XD. My graphics get so crowded!

PichuSecretBase July 22nd, 2004 5:36 AM

But it does look cool you have to agree XD;

Geometric-sama July 22nd, 2004 3:40 PM

It does, when you do it in moderation... I'm not good at that XD.

Cherrim July 22nd, 2004 3:44 PM

I love layers. o.o; For my sigs, I generally use about... 20-30 (I use transparency a lot, so I need them. XD) For CGing pictures... gah... overall, I probably use about 60. o_O; But I normally tend to merge them when I finish with a certain section (which I should actually stop doing). Mrr...

=o Crowded graphics look really nice, actually. You've got to have a lot of different transparencies, though, and it also helps to bump up the contrast of the image's foreground so the background doesn't divert all the attention. XP

lil' jose July 22nd, 2004 6:22 PM

oh, i thought that you could oly use like, 5 layers! heh i geuss you can use alot of different layers! thanks! *gos and works on layerd banners

Geometric-sama July 25th, 2004 4:26 AM

I'm really bad at using more than, say, 10 or 15 layers. You should see some of my early layered sigs... I might dig one out XD

samu July 25th, 2004 8:24 AM

I used to not even know what layers were until a good 6 months ago, and i've been using psp since I was about.. 10?

that made things A LOT easier. x_x

Geometric-sama July 25th, 2004 5:54 PM

LOL, I started using layers in... oh, it might have been PhotoImpact. But it's a lot easier in Fireworks.

/me loves Fireworks XD
