cordelia, for the gaussian blur thing i dont have a "fade gaussian blur" option under edit. is that b/c i have photshop elements 2.0? is there no way to get that effect then? and i'm sorry i know this is offtopic, but i wanted to PM you to get on the graphic makers list but it said that you weren't accepting PMs so I didn't know what to do. also, if anyone has any banner questions i'd be happy to help.

hey, if your talking about that snow the level makes the snow look more realistic rather than white blobs. you should have a play around an see what best suits you 🙂

Its open to interpretations. I did want it to look dirty, I had black in mind but I was playing round with colours and couldn't help myself but keep it off-white.
 
Cordelia: In your other banners, you have all these weird signs as an overlay or something all over the pic. What is that?
 
I use them for alot of things, that is just one of them. It really depends on what sort of look I want to achieve. Sometimes I use them on dodge, hard light, burn, or normal - it varies also with what colour you have them on too, like white is the best when using brushes on dodge, dark colours don't work well at all. 🙂
 
However dodging on dark colors doesn't work well with white, what else can I use?
 
Not sure, I've always found that dodging on dark colours doesn't work well full stop whatever colour you use. It works best when used on light colours. You might want to try hard light then fade, or perhaps Pin, vivid or hard mix then fade, maybe that might work although I can't be 100% sure. Sorry!
 
Fading can be done by getting the image you want, then:

1. Use the eclipse selector tool
2. Selecting the area you don't want faded
3. Go to select>feather. Use settings generally between 30-50. Pick one for the moment and you can come back and mess around later.
4. Go to select>inverse
5. Making sure the colour you want to fade to is the foreground colour go to edit>fill and just fill the foreground colour.

It needs experimenting but eventually you can do something like the image of Charisma on the left here: http://members.lycos.co.uk/ashsan/image/Charisma.jpg
 
Picture isn't working. Can you give us another link, 'cause I have no idea what this fade is.
 
thanks for the tip, though the link isnt working for me either. also, is there a way to fade to another pic instead of a color?
 
http://www.good-tutorials.com/search.php?q=montage&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 go on the first, and then the second.

Anyway, put Charisma as the file name, not cordelia. http://members.lycos.co.uk/ashsan/image/Cordelia.jpg is correct.

http://members.lycos.co.uk/ashsan/image/Amy.jpg is my latest and best so far sig
