»freakmonger Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 ok so I've taken an interest in making signatures/etc with photoshop. What are some good resource sites that you guys like for photoshop (like free brushes, etc) Anybody have a zip file of good brushes/etc? Quote
PoLiX Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 I'll see if I can't dig some of my old favorites up, and hit my bro up for his. He still does a lot of photoshop work. One site I can remember: http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/psbrushes/ Always good stuff at deviantart. Also dude, get on IM sometime or in SS. We needs to talk Quote
larrythehamster Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Catch me in game or on MSN mate. Quote
Synister Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 If this is your first time using Photoshop then following tutorials to learn effects and stuff is great. It's how i started, I went to gamerenders.com when i first started, found renders, tutorials and brushes there. Pretty much best place to go IMO for beginners and even skilled photoshop(ers?) to show off their work and stuff. Quote
»freakmonger Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Posted October 29, 2009 yea I've never really messed around with photoshop before, but started the other day and its pretty addicting lol I'll checkout gamerenders, I've been going to a different site for renders. Quote
General Shadow Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Where do you get the trial version of ps? I looked on, like, fifty different sites but found nada. Quote
»freakmonger Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Posted October 29, 2009 I just got the full version from a torrent Quote

Synister Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) I almost forgot about Audigex, I go there too. One thing that you might want to do which would help you get better is register to a gfx community forum, make sigs and post them. Skilled photoshop users can give their input on where you can improve, show you tricks and such. All in all photoshoping is fun and pretty easy once you do a few tuts and make your first few sigs alone without tuts. And most important rule to photoshoping, Layers, Layers and MOAR LAYERS! The more layers you have the better. You want to have alot of layers in a sig or anything you make really because more layers give more control on slight changes you want to make. Even if the layer has a tiny smudge on it, or one brush stroke in the corner, keep layers seperate for different jobs/effects and you will have better outcomes. My sig for example has around 10+ layers just from smudging totalling around 25-30 layers. I should have more maybe but yeah Edited October 30, 2009 by Synister Quote
»freakmonger Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Posted October 31, 2009 ah ok, didn't know that Quote
Drake7707 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 yeah, layers are the key , I've been using paint shop pro 9 for years now and I've learned to use layers for everything significant too Quote
