Jacurutu stamp of rejection(Font by DuneFishUk)
I thought we might need that one too
For some reason it doesn't save the clear one, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong so Nekhrun if you want to work your magic again
(and in the process just explain how it's done if you have time, thanks !)

I like this one even more
What are you making these in? - in Photoshop I always use "Save for Web", There you can select "PNG" from the list and then make sure the "Transparency" box is ticked

It's been mentioned already, but JPEG's don't save transparent backgrounds. It would have to be a PNG. I'll work on this later.lotek wrote:I thought we might need that one too

I use the pxlr graber tool, I'm not sure what format it uses as I mainly use it for screenshots I always added the image as a new layer and erased the background when needed...DuneFishUK wrote:I like this one even more

Not very professional but then again I'm not, but I don't mind learning

Ah - the case of the good workman not blaming his tools
Just Googled it... have you tried the pixilr editor - it is actually practically Photoshop

I don't know some obvious ropes and tricks, I learn as I go along so sometimes I'll struggle with concepts that are evident to others more used to that kind of stuff.DuneFishUK wrote:Ah - the case of the good workman not blaming his tools
I don't expect to become an expert but there are a few things I'd like to be able to do.
Especially applying a texture. In those pics, I select and erase the text to create a stencil, and add layers of the stamp image underneath until I'm satisfied with the way it looks.
Kind of the long road I guess.
yep it's the one I use I got the name wrongDuneFishUK wrote:Just Googled it... have you tried the pixilr editor - it is actually practically Photoshop
I used to have Photofiltre but I lost it last time my pc crashed and I had to reinstall windows...
You say that it's practically photoshop ? I was under the impression it was a dumbed down version of it.
The only thing I find annoying is that I can't seem to multiple select using CTRL, so to apply the same effect to several selections I do it one by one.
But it's counterbalanced by the option of uploading directly your image using the same tool, and the ability to work on virtually anything online.
For some reason I could grab flash videos/images but now it only captures an empty window, shame.

Gimp is great, but just a bit too different for me - I trip myself up and wish it was PS everytime I use itNekhrun wrote:I use GIMP, it's got pretty much everything.
Hmm, looking at it again now, you;re right - Pixlr is very dumbed down. But is a PS clone though - same hotkeys and everything.
You've caught some light-coloured pixels - if you mask the image with a greyscale version if itself and then cock about with the curves/levels you can get a load more control. (Although, it's still not perfect and you can only notice it on dark backgrounds.)Nekhrun wrote:

Re: Jacurutu stamp of rejection(Font by DuneFishUk)
I do have it on my pc, but I got used to photofiltre and I'm a bit confused by the Gimp (now that sounds weirder than I thought)
I kinda liked the dumbed down factor of PixlrEditor, I thought it would be a good introduction to basic pic editing to have less tools and work my way round a problem to understand the process so I could identify the proper tool when using a more complex editor.

I miss the duotone option of photofiltre, it was quite handy to create stencils.
I know what masks are but haven't got round to actually use them, it seems that time has come.
Is there a way to select a color to erase all pixels using it ?

Masks are probably the single most useful thing to learn. Always avoid deleting something if you can - make a mask instead.lotek wrote:thanks for the advice !DuneFishUK wrote:You've caught some light-coloured pixels - if you mask the image with a greyscale version if itself and then cock about with the curves/levels you can get a load more control.

In PS you can "Select Colour Range" and also "Load Selection" - which is also very very (very) useful. (I couldn't see either of those in the Pixlr editor ).
Edit: What do you mean by Duotone?

Re: Jacurutu stamp of rejection(Font by DuneFishUk)
I think that's what they called it in photofiltre, it's that effect that would only use two colours in the image. I used it to select areas where shades block the use of the magic wand.
I think I've fiddled enough to go to the next stage though, I'll look up the use of masks then.
