Basic skinning questions

<< < (2/2)

Adam,

Thanks for the advice.  I found TONS of links to Photshop tutorials over at techimo.com, and they were a great help.  I've gotten a better idea of how stuff works in Photoshop now, I just need to get creative in applying it all...

Doof,

Yeah, I was zoomed in as far as I could go, but the star drawing tool was coming out funky at such low levels (each star I drew was a different shape, even though it was the same tool, because I was at such a close zoom). With a little work I was able to finally get it right. I'd post a screenshot if I could figure out how to do it in the forum here  ?  wow, I'm full of newbie questions, aren't I?

**Edit:  Nevermind, I find that you need a place to actually host the pic in order to include it, and I have no such place**

Thanks for the help!

Here's a link to a free and very user friendly site for hosting your images.  It walks you through the process of posting your pictures on websites.  Don't hesitate to ask questions - we've all been newbies.

Shelley,

Thanks for that link, it's fantastic.  It's funny, because I'm not really a newbie as far as computer/internet stuff is concerned (I am a technical writer by trade), yet in the world of graphics and skinning, I am a complete newbie!  Of course, the question you answered for me has nothing to do with graphics, that was just plain ignorance on my part    ;D

Anyway, thanks to Shelley, I have a pic of my first steps into skinning. I thought it would be cool to make the Brushed Metal skin have rating pics that matched the iPod.  It's not much but it's my first shot...




Thanks again

Chris

Crowfan,

I'm pleased that you like that site - it's the best one that I've found for that purpose.  When it comes to skinning, I'm a complete newbie.  I've had some experience with PhotoShop in regards to photo editing.  I took a 2 day class in it a couple of months ago, because even after playing with it for months, I found that I was less than efficient.  The class really helped, but I've got a long way to go to feel comfortable.

I'll look forward to seeing your future skins!

Shelly
