My 1st effort in Photoshop (Don't laugh!)

Ok, not all that fantastic, in fact its #?*!, err, bad. But it did take me all day! Yes, when I said I hadn't used it before, I really wasn't kidding...

I'm having problems with putting a thin border around the edge, in as much as I can't do it! :evil: :lol: Oh boy...:mrgreen: This is gonna be a LONG project for me! :shock:

That's not at all bad. I really can't do much more myself, actually.

It may be that you're trying to stroke a text layer. Text is vector information, not raster. Raster is what you're working with: pixels of different colours. (The text layers should have a T on the Layer Pallette label)

Whatcha do is create a new transparent layer overtop of all your other layers (topmost, that is), select all (CTRL A), then do the stroke.

What version of PS are you working with?

I'd enjoy playing against one of you. Or watching a match between you.

I'm not REAL good, but then, I'm not sure how good you guys are.

Create a new document as big as the avatar. Then trim the avatar's height and length each by the same small even number of pixels. Pick the color you want for the border and flood-fill the blank document. Then select the entire avatar and paste it onto the previously blank document and center it. There you go.

My way's easier, Nah.

There's also the Select > Modify > Border option, where you can use a flood fill.

My way doesn't require Alexia to battle the giggles over that funny "raster" word

Torpedo away! Torpedo away!

The layer effects thingy really is very easy to use once you know what you're doing with it. Forget all the stuff about rasters and vectors - just as long as you know how to use the layers you're laughing.

And there lies the exact problem!

Thanks for all the advice :roll: and also, the word "rasters" :lol: Gonna try all those methods out tomorrow, starting with Nan's for several reasons, mainly, she just rocks :mrgreen:, especially with Photoshop!

I am using v6.0 photoshop, well, I say "using"... :lol:

^ Well, all you have to get the hang of really is being able to put things on new layers so that you can apply effects to just that layer. As for the layer effects themselves it's just a matter of fiddling with them until you see something you like.

You've got that right.

This one took, like, 7 or so layers. And about 4-5 hours total.

When you split the line art, flat colours, highlights, and shadows onto separate layers, it'll save you hours and hours of fixing mistakes.

(It's not talent, it's practice. )
