Did another photo manip today. I think it's my best so far... There are two versions. The difference should be obvious. It may not look as good on the SubBlack skin because the border is black and the border adds to this sig... Anyway, here it is:

Awesome, but the border is HORRIBLE. Make it much smaller and don't have it black, use the eyedropper and grab the darkest brown on your image, it blends in better and stands out againts the sub-silver. Then take the lightest brown/red and make a border within the border. so its image, light border, dark border. If a image is dark and has a dark border it looks bad.

Yeh. I played around with the border for a while. I tried a ton of different colors from the sig, I tried white, and I tried black. In my opinion, black looked the best. Everything else either stood out too much or just didn't look good.

version 2 is nice, ive seen too many manips with that thingy on the left hand side on chaos gfx >.> gj, 7/10 (coz of border - version 1)

 

 

 

8.5/10 on version 2 :thumbsup:

I like version one better. Very nice job on the manip.

love version 2, its a shame that the opacity drops down a little too much in parts and you begin to get the checkered thing happening...

 

 

 

but other than that i like it.

 

 

 

black flat

Version 1 is too over used in my opinion.

 

 

 

I like how you changed the colors, very well done there.

 

 

 

But what were you thinking when you did the border? =P

I think it actually looks better in sub black! :thumbsup:

I almost think that was intentional.

When that happens, it becomes transparent if in a transparency-supportive format, and if you see the checkers, it's because a pattern has been put there - purposely.

 

 

 

You'll never see the checkers in place of transparency except whilst making and editing it; unless a pattern has been set.

thats a nice manip

 

 

 

8/10 O:)

Wow nice work! Its deffinately the best I've seen you do, keep it up!

The checker "thing" is a blended pattern overlay layer, not transparency

As said by some others, it was done that way on purpose. The checkers is a pattern used commonly on ChaosGFX and I'm sure on other places as well. I seemed to like it in this sig.

 

 

 

As for the over used style of version one, that's why I made a version two.

 

 

 

Thanks for all the comments! Glad most of you liked it. ^_^
