Ok, so I've finally gotten photoshop 7. I've only had experience with MS paint and i was messing around with it today. I would like to learn how to make some drawings on there.. but yeah, im learning as i go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heres what I've made so far.

 

 

 

Basically just my RSN all jazzed up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And another

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any tips on what i should practice? I'm taking Graphics arts next semester so that should help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any comments welcome :D

you finally got ps7........... its a pretty old version of photoshop why didnt you just get CS2?

Get used to filters, and brushes....download some brush packs(google) learn how to use lasso tools, pen tools, selections, gradients, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get use to the concept of layers, think of them as transparent glass sheets stacked ontop another witch each sheet being a layer and can contain a picture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Learn how to quickmask another form of selection press q to enter quickmass mode (greyscale colors only)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Selections to add to current selection press shift before using tool, press alt to subtract from selection and ctrl+click on the picture of canvas in the layers pallatee

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

learn how to use the brush tool incuding burn and dodge. you can change the hardness with shift+ [ or shift+] and the size with [ or ]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

just practice and make text blend in..to transform press ctrl+t and enter to accept

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go to good-tutorials . com and pixel2life . com

Thanks for the tips, I'll have to check into getting a newer PS too. Whats the full name of the new one called?
