Just Play'in - (BeetleBosses PSP Learning thread)

Congratulations Cindy. You succeeded.

Thanks for the beer. Cheers.

The blurry border was done following Brad's technique. Now when you select the rectangle, you can also change the form of the selection. Select a circle, a star, an oval or any available form to make your selection.
Use the dropdown list to make the selection.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll post a screenshot.

 

Already finished it. LOL

That's OK. You selected the color you can use now, but clicking OK doesn't change the color of your border. It needs something extra.

Try it and see if you can get it done.

 

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Myyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'm HOT stuff now!!!!

Beers a little smaller

But, its got such a pretty blueish greenish border!!!

I'm am sooooo happy now!!!

I finally feel like I'm gett'in it!!!


Not quite sure why it looks so scratchy.
I had to keep clicking around the border for it to fill in. Is that right??


OK well, here's another for ya!!
Don't drink too many while your giving instructions~
I confuse easily alreadyhttp://img103.exs.cx/img103/2028/fie.gif ​

 

That's because it already had a several colors inside the border, so the fill tool will not work on the entire area, only on small parts of the same color.
However you can use the paintbrush to change the color rapidly.

It's a great try and it will get better the more you practice and learn.

 

Some info for you.

 

Time to try the freehand tool Cindy....looks like a lasso.
Select an area and invert if you want and apply an effect...

 

I'm getting it!!!!

CHECK THIS OUT!! ​

 

Well done Cindy.
Now you're ready for the rest.

 

Maybe I needed a bigger picture http://www.foroedonkey.com/vb/images/smilies/pensando.gif

this is what I started with.......

gett'in better

 

It's a funny guy, so I gave it a shot.
Oh Brad, Cindy, instead of making the selection with the rectangle, you can also use Selections > Select all
and afterwards Selections > Modify > Contract (choose the pixels)
When done, invert the selection and you also got your marching ants frame.
It's just another way of doing it and it's more precise.

 

Maybe using the Smart Edge, instead of the Freehand selection will give you better results.

 

Do I need to have a picture with an all white solid backround for this?

 

No, take any picture you like. It works everytime.
And there's also a neat trick to make a new picture using this technique, but that's for later.

 

Kind lost me at the........

I've got ants around the outside edge of the pic.......should there be ants around the subject? Not seeing those.http://www.foroedonkey.com/vb/images/smilies/pensando.gif


(will try more after awhile)
[bounce]
Thanks a bunch!!![/bounce]

 

You've lost me too there.

Steps to follow to make a precise rectangular selection:

1. Take a picture
2. Go to Selections and choose Select All
3. Return to Selections and choose Modify > Contract (choose the pixels)
4. Return again to Selections and choose Invert
5. Now you've got the marching ants frame

Now you can apply the Effects, Adjustments, Filters, ...

I hope this helps.

 

Eldar!!! That was perfect!! Everything went just great!!

Hope ya don't mind bout who my next practice victim subject was

Looks little funky.
(I used the kaleidoscope effect~
tried to put a small frame between the kaleidoscope and the pic........
couldn't figure it out http://tcwozere.co.uk/smileys/scratchhead.gif )

Probably, need to learn to control myself a bit with all these toys, huh? LOL!!
Could end up with some crazy look'in picture if I'm not careful.

 

Just goof'in off http://img115.exs.cx/img115/9916/z4dwink.gif

 

is there a way to change the color of that yellow tube thing??

Not sure if I should ask how you did post 86

LOL

Looks like a lot of steps

 

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAV PICS IN THE ANGEL THREAD.
Daddy wrapped around her finger from day one

​

Couldn't really figure out how to make the font bigger.....
and to move it more to the left.

I was just surprised it turned out that good


OK...I'll stop and wait to learn something now

 

Very Nice! I'd forgotten that I'd posted that pic! You're coming along quite fast Cindy! Keep up the good work.

 

You got it Cindy.

I don't mind.

It's great, you now know how to apply a simple border.
About the frame you'll learn it in time. For now lets keep it simple.
You can also apply the other selections, like a rounded rectangle, circle, star, ....

It's easy to get lost using all those toys. Once you start you never know where it ends.

 

Nice, although you could make a marching ants frame and applying the tube there.
Hey, Darwin lost a piece of his head.

Nope, it's preset so you can't change it. You'll have to find the same tube with a different color or make one yourself (that's for later )

A bit to difficult to explain without confusing you more, although I made some errors on purpose. See if you can find it.

And here's your next lesson on text.

Enjoy and have fun.
