New Background... again... :) (crests of waves)

alyssa · 12-02-2006, 07:31 AM

Yeah, I made this while listening to Crests of Waves...

colored version

editted cuz of too much contrast near the top

uh... not-colored version.

if you need them resized to 800x600, tell me.

I just got Photoshop recently and I'm trying to make a wallpaper. And basically I want to smash my head into my keyboard.

Y'know... i never keep track of time.

It took me a while to find a nice picture of waves 'n stuff for the background, but... i think this took about 15 minutes maybe.

KM · 12-02-2006, 08:04 AM

Fifteen freakin minutes.

Bwah, I've been sitting here for two hours and have SHIZNIT to show for it.

For those scuffed surface kind of... I dunno what you call them... textures, do you look for those online or can you make those with 'shop?

I have PS Elements btw... and I'm desperate for some tips!

oh! You only have PSE? Get PS! PSE ain't that great.

I don't use PS Elements, so... iono. O.o

I know you need brushes for PS to get the textures though.

KM · 12-02-2006, 08:18 AM

We're starting out with PSE. My bro-in-law suggested that we do that before we upgrade... and the upgrade starts with 4 then keep upgrading to 6.

Okie-doke, thank you!
