Tommy-

What a great service that you're providing for everyone here! Very generous of you to do so.

For us folks who can get around PhotoShop a little, do you have a bullet-sheet of tips that you use to create your works? (ie: what size canvas do you use to create that long, rectangular format). Does the entire creation automatically get formatted by the forum's software in order to fit? What is the maximum size of the creation that can be handled by the forum?

Any tips would be great (that is, if you are willing to reveal your secrets! )

Thank you,
Dave

 

mine is not the best, but any basic photo editing program can do. just make a blank canvas around 1-2" by 5-6" and the forum uploader will resize it. get teh blank and import the pics you want and crop add text... whatever you want.

 

Excellent! Thanks for the tip. You made it sound quite easy.

Now...all I need is my car, and I'll have something to work with!

 

alright, I can easily design my own, and I have done, but for some reason I can't upload it. the Control Panal says it has to below 30KB..... well that is freakin tiny, what the heck am I doing wrong?

 

You can either reduce the resolution or the amount of colors to avoid making the image smaller.

Or send me the image and I'll tweak it for you if you would like.

 

sent it to your e-mail, see what you can do with it. I know it is large, even when i scale it down to 500x100 it is still to large a file, then pulling down the resolution results in it looking like butt.
