Trunks Mystic Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Hi, I am new and I want to know how to make those precious banners you make for yourself, can you all help me please?
PiroMunkie Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 [color=indigo]It's not really that hard. You just take a program and MS Paint (which most all computers have and it's probably just called "Paint") or PhotoShop or something, slap some images, colors, and text together and call it a banner! Just be sure that it doesn't exceed the size limit of 500x100[/color]
Trunks Mystic Posted July 24, 2002 Author Posted July 24, 2002 the thing is I dont know how to make textures or how to Slap Images, all the Images that I have have Background..
Kinetic Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 [color=darkblue] That's why you should get photoshop, then paste your image, and use the eraser tool to get rid of the BG. You can do that in Paint too, but it's hard. [/color]
zidane11 Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 I'm not very good at this but you could just cut them down so that it only shows a little bit of the backround or you could just put paint on the back so you can't see the backround.
Trunks Mystic Posted July 24, 2002 Author Posted July 24, 2002 [b]Yo all thanks....I have Adobe PhotoShop 7.0, and thanks...I will try to make a banner....It will be hard but, thanks...[/b]
Juu Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]Ya know, with photoshop, you can use the magic wand to cut out some things you want to add to your pic. Anyway, you can use a tutoral.... I personally never used one of the tutorals... they just take so long.....[/color] [/size]
Kinetic Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 [color=darkblue] [url]http://www27.brinkster.com/cheatnet/tut2.html[/url] That's my tutorial on how to take the background out of an image with Adobe 6.0 (should work for 7.0) [/color]
Guest Sevengraff Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 yay adobe photoshop 6 is good for this stuff.
No-Name Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 omg the eraser tool? What are you smoking? The magic wand gets all the sh*t done in less than half the time. Just click, and if the bg is relatively the same color, it selects it then you click "backspace" and delete it all.
The Harlequin Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 [font=gothic][color=crimson]The irony is galling. Here I am working on Photoshop 5.5, wishing for a better version, and then some newbie comes in and asks how to use 7. Oh, the pain of it all. On a lighter note, I now have Corel PhotoDRAW 9! Mwahahahaha.... Sorry people.[/font][/color]
Kinetic Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 [color=darkblue] Lol, I haven't used the magic wand tool in forever. Mainly because it usually cuts off part of the characters head :p [/color]
No-Name Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 Thats why you adjust the tolerance level. Make it lower or higher. The magic wand is great...it just needs a little mastering for it's full potential.

Aries, no wonder you say you're not as good with PhotoShop as you should be cause of how long you've had it! Lol, you do everything the hard way. The magic wand tool is a life saver. Just like No-Name said, it just needs a little mastering for it's full potential. You can learn to use it well within in an hour or two probably. That's how Neil taught me to take the background out of pictures :p But I will soon own you all. <-- Recently got Macromedia Flash MX ... (just has to learn how to use it)[/color]
Kinetic Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 [color=darkblue] Bwahahahaha <---Got Macromedia Flash yesterday :devil: But yeah, I use to use that all of the time, but got hooked on the eraser, because the magic wand would leave all of the little pixels. [/color]
No-Name Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 <--has had Flash for a year and a half and still doesnt know how to use it. daha.
Kinetic Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 [color=darkblue] Lol, I learned how to rotate things, play your movie, and create new frames, but when I play the movie, it shows the same frame over and over again :p OH DUH!! Same mistake I made in ImageReady :devil: I've got it now :toothy: I just have to make the layers I don't want invisible! Muahahaha! [/color]
The Harlequin Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 [font=gothic][color=crimson]I feel so inadequate...[/font][/color]
Trunks Mystic Posted July 26, 2002 Author Posted July 26, 2002 [b]Thanks...I will try....Aries how do you make that animated banner:P?[/b]
Kinetic Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 [color=darkblue] Lol, get a little...*cough* lot more experienced with photoshop first :p [/color]
Trunks Mystic Posted July 26, 2002 Author Posted July 26, 2002 [b]Another thing...How do you make those cool Backgrounds???[/b]
Kinetic Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 [color=darkblue] Filters. Up at the top you will see a menu drop-down that says "filters",click on that, then go to "render", then "clouds". That will give you some clouds, then mess around with the other filters. [/color]
Psychotik Posted July 27, 2002 Posted July 27, 2002 Flash mx huh I was going to get that, but I stopped half way in the middle to get 3Ds Max, Damn that program is so complicated, its got to many functions my brain can't handle it ahhhhhhhhhh. Reverence-out>>
No-Name Posted July 28, 2002 Posted July 28, 2002 common aries, animations are easy as pie. All you need to do is frame by frame. As in make one sig with one letter, save it, add another letter, save it, and so on. then open up an animation program and string em together. sim-pull
Kinetic Posted July 29, 2002 Posted July 29, 2002 [color=darkblue] I know, it's easy, but with someone who doesn't even know how to make a banner, that'd be pretty hard :p I would have been helpless if someone explained it to me. [/color]
