I "came accros" photoshop yesterday. It is a marvel in photo editing. It makes a novice graphics person, like me, look like a professional.
Check out these Light Sabre Shots with me staring.
The camera is not very high quality but I think you get the gist of it.
I'm interested in what colours you like and if you think they're crap please give me some constructive criticism.
If you enlarge them you will see how they are done. I will publish an article on codersadvocate detailing how this effect was achieved as soon as I am in front of photoshop.
My personal favorite is the force fireball. It took some trying to make it not just look like a blob. If you look at all of the images one of them does have a blob of a fire ball there. Its a bit of a pain really because the sabre came out nic on that one. Oh well, what can you do, that's life really.
I will write the article after work but until then just marvel at my super powers.
Funny story I convinced my cusin (sorry navrup) that I bought these for £150 quid each and she believed me LOL. Anyway, holla back!
