Custom Made Sig and Avatar [11]

Wenda said:

I had a visitor this afternoon while I was mucking around with Photo-Shop. He noticed what I
was trying to do, and also noticed that I had this thread and its counterpart in EightForums
open looking for ideas, templates and some decent logos etc.

Now, this bloke has a Diploma in networking, but as a user, his skills are, at best, average. He
mentioned that he'd always wanted to be able to use a program like PS, but that their sheer
complexity and prohibitively high cost put him off.

So I loaded up a template that I'd found on here (or maybe EightForums) and started to take
him through what I was doing. As soon as he saw me creating layers he said that was where
he'd been going wrong, and wanted me to show him how I did it.

I did so, he had a bit of a go himself, and when he left here he had a big dose of enthusiasm
and ideas, the URL of Adobe's CS2 download site, and a PDF copy of 'Photo-Shop CS2 for
Dummies' with him.

It looks like this 'Photo-Shopping' disease may be contagious...

So, well done, SevenForums, you have had a positive influence and given some good ideas
to yet another happy user.


Wenda.



**Oh, here's the quick & dirty 'sig' we knocked together as I was explaining layers to him.
It turned out so good (clean and airy, not cluttered and cramped) that I decided to modify
it slightly and actually use it on one of my forums.**

Well done Wenda

Yes graphics is very addictive Wenda. I used to spend hours and hours a day fiddling with my own pictures then started trying creating sigs and wallpapers. I finally got around to fixing up an old family photo which had several folds and wrinkles in it.

Well done Wenda. You might also like to look at the wallpapers threads in SF and EF for ideas.

Hey Gary,
The folds and wrinkles are on your face not on the photo!
Steve volunteered me to say that.

Dennis, I'm not sure how I keep getting pulled into yours and Gary's spats. (You don't still wear them do you?)

You get pulled into them because you are such a sweet and loveable nice guy!
Not sure if this is true but Gary said you were.

It must be true. You read it on the internet.
