WOW! You have been busy! They look good!

Btw, you can post more than one image to a post.

[Crystal]

thank you Flash :), how do I post more on one post? oh yeh how can I make them 15k, I try so hard, and the optimize them, the animated ones is bigger to,

[jan]

Gotta get Nikki in on this.

[Crystal]

Hiya Jan :) are you and Nikki sissy's?
yes you need to get her here to help us make them, there so much fun, :)
:ho: :holidays: :barf:

[Mr T.C.]

Hey Crystal - your globes are great. Mine are going to be rubbish. You make those yourself??

Yeah - get Nikki in here - though I understand she is busy on a project.

[Helen]

Yep, where is Nikki? If ya see her, tell her I need some ornament

HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!

http://rightstuffhosting.com/images/helen.gif

Maybe I just need a little more eggnog... that might do the trick!

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[jan]

I am still lost.

How are ya'll making your ornaments transparent? After making mine, I merge>visible. Is this what's causing the white background on mine?

Help Me Please.

[Helen]

Hey Jan...

You make the background green then make green the transparant color. And as you can see, that is absolutely all I know about making these things. :shock:

[Flash ho]

http://theflashho.com/matchThisColour.gif
http://theflashho.com/matchMerge.gif

I swear this didn't work yesterday.

Jan, do as Helen said, STart your image with a base layer of green #009933., use match this colour, then when colour wheel comes up, type in #009933 to get green to be trans.

I did this quick, edges could be better.

If Nikki could drive here, she'd be here! She is out cruising, a wee bit early.

[Mr T.C.]

Wierd... is this PSP stuff? "match this colour" is that a PSP thing? I use Ulead and don't know these terms. I got Adobe Photo and Illustrator but that means nothin :?

[Flash ho]

Yeah, a psp term. I haven't used ulead in years, but it should have a similar term for making the BG colour ( #009933) the trans colour.

Photoshop has the option in the color swatch tool panel. or property inspector thing ( diff. term in ps)

[Mr T.C.]

Hi Ho. I just got Illustrator 9.1 free off a buddy cos he needs me to pull his 'brochure' files apart to grab the graphics.

Looks good but time is short to do much more than just grab the pics for import into my Ulead.

[jan]

Can't do this tonight. Hope I don't lose sight of this thread so I can try tomorrow night.

[Crystal]

Hiya twirly :)
yep all by my lonsome, I having a bit of a problem with the size,
Nikki ooooooooo Nikki were o were are you tonight?

lol sorry how is this in sted? lol

[FTP Guy]

Is that Dusty?

[Helen]

CRYSTAL!!!!! :shocked:

[Flash ho]

KK - I think you have been warned by the forum Mom!! :)

Just wait till Officer Fred sees it!! Look out!!
Best be careful or Nikki won't be able to visit. :)

And I did not teach you that. ( btw,Next time don't use a textured fill :P )

Na, Dusty is much better looking! points?, dusty?

[Fred]

Alright, Officer Fred here. Everybody against the wall. Who is the responsible party? Dusty ain't here so it ain't her.

KK, if you keep that up, I will need to band Ho - he is under the age of reason. Your mom may ban you if she is called into the office or Ho's mom files a complaint. Hands above your heads.

1. You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?

2. Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?

3. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?

4. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?

5. If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand?

6. Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?

Hmmm, Where did I put my donut? Alright, who took mt donut? This is getting serious. Who put toenail polish all over my patrol bike? Who stole my tires?

[Crystal]

oh btw I thought id get into trouble on that one, hehehe sorry again,

[Fred]

AHHHHH :( Now you made me drop my coffee. Who stole my bike?

[Crystal]

night night

[Crystal]

was all your egg nog spiked to much?

[Shane]

Crystal those are great..........really cool........green ones the best :D :D :D :D ..........

TC......I saw a special boxed re-release of PSP 5 in PC World the other day for £7.99...(bout $12).....came with extra picture tubes and other stuff on an extra CD....gotta be worth a look. Less than the price of 40 fags. (Trying to quit, sorry...I'm converting every price to value in cigarettes lately)

[Mr T.C.]

Only 40 fags? I might get down there. I got PCWorld just a few miles up the road in Reading.

Fred - I took your donut but I didn't touch your bike - honest.

[Helen]

Thank you, Crystal. :D

I like the bubble gum much better. BTW... how'd you do that bubble gum, anyway? :cool:

[Crystal]

hiya helen thank you :) the bubble was a I did in diffrent sizes lol, the the splater one last in psp7, and thank you chane :) yours and all the others look awsome I love them all :)

[Crystal]

ok the last post was ummm really bad, shane chane and double my words,
I know I know. Fred I seen Shane take off on your bike, he told me not to tell you at was him, but he had a hot date wateing for him, sorry Shane I couldn't help it lol, j/k :)

[Mr T.C.]

Yeah Fred, like Crystal said - Shane took your bike. He ate your donut too, I was just covering for him. Said he'd give me a bite but he rode off and ain't come back.

I been had. :cry:

[Crystal]

man Fred I hope he comes back soon so you can get it back, oh yeah he did pop a wheely also, he walked it a few times to,

[Shane]

.....grasses.........I hope you guys are all in a witness protection program, coz i just been watching the Soprano's........Fred, Fred.....it wasn't me........

[Crystal]

lol I am the guilty one I tell ya you hear, but cartman helped me we hid it from you so you can't get to it, because if you did you would chase us with it, I am a fast runner but not that fast.

[FTP Guy]

Ok, here's one...I can't make it transparent though...ah well...but I'm trying! What do you think? Should I continue?

http://www.longislandbicycles.com/images/ball1.gif

[Crystal]

hiya FTP I like it on halloween :), but your ornaments are super

[FTP Guy]

Cool...I'm having some fun playing with this...don't know if they are usable though because they are neither transparent, nor do they have a green background...but I'll get there eventually...I'm PSP challenged...

http://www.longislandbicycles.com/images/ball2.gif

[Flash ho]

Keep going! The background will now be a rainbow to incorporate any Bg colour! :wink:
Shane can we use your snowman?

[Crystal]

there niceeeeeeee I like I like, keep going on your ornaments FTP, I want a program but it cost to much mom said, thats so un cool the pits man.

[FTP Guy]

Ok, you asked for it...here's one more...I have to quit soon and hit the sack...

http://www.longislandbicycles.com/images/ball3.gif

God Save The Queen!

[Fred]

Something tells me there is a conspiracy going on around here. My donut had more than one bite missing. Thanks for returning the bike. Now will someone please return the tires - the seat also would be a big help. As you all know, I have an open door policy here....I would like that returned also. :shocked:

[Helen]

LOL Joe, that ornament looks almost as bad as mine...

Ok it's lots better than mine, but.... :roll: :D

[Crystal]

[FTP Guy]

Thanks Shane...I'm learning as I go here...

Karen! Way Cool! Luv 'em all but you know I'm partial to to the TIMMAY one!

[Cartman]

Pretty predictable coming from me, huh, Joe? :wink:

I shouldn't even put them here with some of the gorgeous ones that you guys have been doing.

Seems that my graphics collection has this "theme" running, so ....

I couldn't even make those cool little tops for them. How lame is that? Just don't have the right software for this stuff!!! :roll: But, it was just fun goofin' around and having fun.

If mine can't be converted ... stick bows on top of the squares and stick them UNDER the tree! Or, better still ... in back of the tree! :lol:

[FTP Guy]

They look great Karen...keep 'em coming...you too Crystal...and everyone else for that matter!

We're gonna have the coolest tree in cyberland! :cool:

Karen, how did you do it?

[DJ]

If you guys are using PSP, you can use tubes for the toppers. I'll try to attach the three I downloaded.

Uh-oh.... I dont see a way to attach. If anyone wants them, email me at thebrumbaughs@mchsi.com and I'll send 'em. Or, you can do a search on google and find some pretty easily. I'm in a hurry right now, or I'd put them up for download.

I hope this helps!

[Flash ho]

Hi Dj, ERRmm..what is a topper?

Jan, send your daughters and I'll see what I can do with them.

An ornament topper/hanger thingie that a couple people asked or made comments about.

http://www.coolbeansdesigns.com/images/topper.gif

[jan]

Richard, Let me know when you pick my pics off and I'll delete them.

[Flash ho]

Got them Jan. Is that the same daughter? Just diff. times?

Thanks DJ, you're tops~!

[Cartman]

Hi jan,

Look above ... you'll have to ask one of the transparency experts, like Crystal. That's it ... mine AREN'T transparent. I can't do it either. But, I don't have PSP or any software that I can do them with. Heck, I can't even put on the green backgrounds without messing them up! :roll:

Richard said he might (big might) be able to convert them for me. If he can, great. If he can't ... no bother. I just wanted to feel like I was participating. It's been fun.

But as far as design software, it's kinda like everybody else has a machine gun and I have a pea shooter!

Gotta say here ... Crystal, Shawn, jan, Richard, DJ, FTP Guy, Helen ... all you guys ... yeah, even you, Dusty ... your stuff is just beautiful. I've enjoyed looking at all of the beautiful ornaments and picturing them on our soon-to-be magnificent tree. It's really gotten me in the spirit of Christmas this year. Thanks, guys! :hkiss:

[Flash ho]

Karen, what programs do you have? I can convert them all later, in a batch, so no worries on Trans Bg, Worst case, they become presents. main page bg will be 2-3 colours also

Jan - It isn't just you. I can make a trans BG and put it on a page, but putting it here sometimes just doesn't work, no idea why. Looking back at my Amy globe, she looks wider today, LOL, tell her sorry, I'll correct it.

[Cartman]

Hi Richard,

I have PhotoShop Elements (stripped down Photoshop) and PhotoPaint, Digital Camera edition.

Probably with lots of study (of the manual and tuts), I'd be able to do something, but I've not gotten past using the program just to touch up my photography. And, right now, I don't have the time to spend to REALLY learn the two programs from top to bottom. So, creating graphics is difficult. Creating transparent graphics is impossible. :roll:

Animations are just done with that new effect in WS. That's the only animation software I have.

[Helen]

You folks are all getting REALLY good at this. The photos in ornaments
are lovely... they take my breath away! :)

On the background thing Karen, I noticed that when you try to make a
transparent color in WS for an animation, it turns black. Maybe best to
just make it green and Richard can wave his magic bg transparency wand
for us.

Don't anyone stop... these are so cheery! :D

[jan]

Richard,

Eight years difference between my girls. The pics were taken when they were both around the same age. They really look a lot alike.

[nikki]

Here's my ornament. This is the car I'm getting for Christmas.

http://nikks.com/mycar.gif

[jan]

Super neato Nikki.

Make some more.

[FTP Guy]

Excellent! Nikki's here! More Nikkster...more more more!

[Flash ho]

Hi Nik, you stole my idea for a Christmas present for you! Guess, I'll have to get you the real thing! Yeah, right.

Glad you are here!

TC - whats a frig? Maybe I need one too.

[Shane]

Hi Nikks......

Flash Ho Ho Ho....a Frig is a Biscuit (can you believe I had to check the spelling for that.....yeah I know..you can believe it).......oops nope thats a FIG.....

Okay Frig is a word used before 9pm in Brit sitcoms etc instead of saying that naughty word.........but maybe TC didn't mean that either......I'll let him explain, maybe best......

[Crystal]

mabey hes talking about a refrigerator.

[Helen]

Yeah, Santa said cake was attainable, so TC needs a place to put it all :)

Jan, my kids are eight years apart too. My baby girl is a grandma now,
so you know what that makes me! :shocked:

Nice car, Nikki.... can I drive it, can I, can I??


:ho:

[Cartman]

So, glad to see you posting, Nik! Been missing ya!

WOW! Those are SOME wheels! Sporty. Wind in your hair! Yep, it fits ya! :D

Hope Santa is extra good to you this year!

[Fred]

Great wheels! Is that your wish car? My first car was a '59 Nash Rambler that I paid $250. Ah, the good old days. Nowadays, that's the gas bill. :confused: Just take it slow, Nikki. This is not the best time of the year to be driving. Slick roads and there are a lot of nuts on the road who have been doing a lot of partying. As cold as it is now, you won't see me driving with the top down. :roll:

[Mr T.C.]

How come I gotta explain, huh? Well, at risk of getting in trouble I can tell you that frig is a British variant of "fridge" (though little used - more used for its after 9pm meaning). I had to look that up. I'll have to bow to your vocabulary Shane, or...???

And yes, a fridge is a "refrigerator", just like the old sailors song "Refrigeration In The Rigging".

Now if I'd simply said "ice box" I'd of saved a lot of confusion.

[Fred]

My wife still refers to the Fridge as IceBox.

[Shane]

Ha Ha Ha TC & I bow to your diplomacy............. :shocked:

[FTP Guy]

You didn't have to explain TC...ya coulda just said frig it...

[Shane]

:shocked:

[jan]

I'm giving up on the transparent thingy.

http://jansown.com/2deer.gif

Thanks Jan...

I gave up on the transparency thing long ago...

http://www.longislandbicycles.com/images/ball27.gif

[Mr T.C.]

Nice work Crystal.

You guys giving up on transparent? Can't you just 'cut them out'? I like your Gold & Blue Joe. That's kinda what I was wanting to do. Think I'll just do a set of six.

http://com32.com/RStuff/joe.gif
Transparent

[jan]

"Can't you just 'cut them out'?"

Wondering if you could give a step by step tutorial for doing this?

[FTP Guy]

I'm losing my shadows when I try it...

[jan]

http://jansown.com/1snowman.gif

I'm just going to use the green background but it's frustrating knowing it can be done and I can't do it.

[FTP Guy]

Here's one for ya TC...

http://www.longislandbicycles.com/images/ball28.gif

[FTP Guy]

I must be bored...

http://www.longislandbicycles.com/images/ball29.gif

[FTP Guy]

Last one for today...got Olivia's birthday party here later...pics to follow, I promise!

http://www.longislandbicycles.com/images/ball30.gif

[Mr T.C.]

I'm trying to forget that image Joe. Scares the willies out of me.

Jan - I'm using PhotoImpact, not PSP but this stuff is the same in all these packages I think.

I'm taking a "copy" of Joes ornament and pasting onto a blank Photoimpact page. I'm then choosing the "area select" tool (the dotted line thinger) but I'm opting for "circle" instead of "rectangle". I zoom-in so I'm working with a nice big picture, you may want your ruler "rules" switched on to get the circle started just right...

http://com32.com/RStuff/joe1.jpg

Once I have the circle just right I "copy" and paste onto a new page. I've already bucket filled this new page with a colour that I'll make transparent. This should be a colour that doesn't appear in the ornament so white and black are no good - I've gone for Red. Don't forget to go back and copy the hanger thing detail too (the top cap)...

http://com32.com/RStuff/joe2.jpg

When all done I crop it nicely and save as a gif. At the time of saving I have the option to choose a transparent colour (called 'mask' option in PhotoImpact). I colour-pick my red...

http://com32.com/RStuff/joe3.gif

http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/weihnachten/weihnachten019.gif

[Flash ho]

Just add my 2 cents. fill your bg with green #009933, then make that the trans colour, as TC says, that way it will have a green antialias edge, (smoothed to green). So, same as above, except use green.


"Mask" is something differant in psp,ps,fw

cropping can also be done by using the magic wand, select bg, then invert, so now circle is selected. you can adjust feathered edge, antialias edge, hard edge etc.

[Helen]

Those are all soooo gooood! :) Do some more :!:

Thanks for nice the tut, TC... ornaments are the perfect thing to teach
how to do circles. Really :cool: :!:

[jan]

Love the ornament you made in TC's honor, Joe.

[Flash ho]

Nice!!

[Mr T.C.]

Looking good!

Richard - does PSP dither when you 'merge' the cutout? Surely the whole idea was not to dither. Fine staircasing is normal with transparent images - like my Christmas signature lights... huh? http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/aktion/aktion082.gif

[Crystal]

hiya all :),
I love all those ornaments there so awsome, I will make more tonight, but now we have to go to town,

[Flash ho]

Yeap, avoid dithering at all costs. std too. "merge cut out" Not sure what that is. Basically, you are selecting the object, matting it ( creating an edge) and done! Shadows are gradients and will not show up very well, best avoided.
Yes staircasing will be apparent in a gif transparency, however, matting ( edging,antialias)to 009933 will make it blend in better. tree is 009933

Man, i gotta get away from Britney. :D

[Flash ho]

Jan, I like that one the best ( so far). Want a tip? Well, you're getting it anyhow :)

It looks as tho you are using a gradient fill which goes light,dark, light, dark. Try using one that is light to dark only. You can pick anyone and edit it to just 2 colours, then name it and you will still have original and a new one. This will make globes appear as balls rather than cookies. If they are supposed to be cookies, Great job! :)

[Mr T.C.]

Yeah - makes my knees weak. Sooooo sexy :wink:

On edit - that's Britney, not you Flash LOL! I thought Jans flat look was intentional. Gave me the idea of making some choc coins but I ain't got the time...

[jan]

http://jansown.com/atest1.gif

This one is a test to see if the transparency works.

Richard, I'm not exactly sure how I did the other one. I think I used Bevel. Will that make a difference?

[Flash ho]

Congrates! you got the transparency down!

Ah, if you are using a bevel, it will make it look like a button, not a ball. Try paint bucket, click on arrow in colour chip block on right, choose gradient fill, small rectangle thingy.

TC, scared me for a minute.

Am I the only one who doesn't know how to add transparency in the background? lol

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to do that in Photoshop?

Thanks.

[Mr T.C.]

Crystal - very nice again!

Shawn - I'd of thought it would be much the same as the explanation above. I think they all work much the same on that.

Richard - how long can you resist my advances huh? I got a big one for ya....

[Helen]

That is very nice. I like my snow in globes like that. Thanks, Crystal :)

Some community service group in the nearest town hired some people
with "snow machines" that made snow and sprayed it all over an area
in a park. The kids had a great time playing in it. Some had never seen
snow before... we don't get much in Florida. :)

[Crystal]

your welcome helen :), that sound like it would have been fun, my uncle lives in FL.

[FTP Guy]

[Shane]

Oh Joe,...........LOL :shocked:

As we are into quoting song lyrics......

"I going make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me
I'm special, so special
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me"

:shocked: LOL

[FTP Guy]

Ahh...The Pretenders...right?

Glad you like it there Shamus...and just so as not to get the ho ho ho jealous...

[Flash ho]

[Shane]

I'm just keeping options open................ :shocked:

[Helen]

Well.... whatever... but the ornaments are really nice! :)

Is that REALLY you and your son Shane? Handsome duo!
(but you know how gullible I am :) )

[Mr T.C.]

Err, Richard - best not come over here buddy. I like you as a friend and all but I was just kinda flirting (really :?). And I'm away this Christmas. And I got a cold. And, just lots of ands.... :roll:

last one tonight,

[Fred]

Chat rooms.... :| we never had a request for one here. We've all more are less chatted here. Each control panel has that feature available for those who want to install them on their sites. As for as I'm concerned, AOL Messenger is the best setup for chats and IM. I always liked the Forum because a lot of people don't have the same schedule and would miss out on the fun if the conversation was in a chat room.

[Mr T.C.]

Chat Rooms? I can't imagine anything worse. I have "Roger-Wilco" that works like radio over the Internet - brings game chat to online games with no chat! I visited the Roger Wilco Web site and this Irish guy came booming over my speakers. 2:00am and some guy I don't know is in my computer talking to me. :shock:

He said "Hi. This is a bit like CB radio isn't it"

I said "Yeah."

That was about it. Freaked me out :?

[fuhgedaboutit]

Yeah, what will Dusty say?????

My first ornament! Well, um, er, not technically exactly mine. :roll: I just needed some motivation that's all!

ahhhhhhh, Daddy's girl, I'm envious!

Awwwwww....Dusty that's beautiful! I can't do animations 'cause I'm ani-tomically challenged....ummmm...wait a minute...that doesn't sound right...ummm..err...nevermind....Dusty that's great! Thanks!

Richard...use that one on the tree instead of mine! Please!

[Helen]

There are the world's cutest babies around here. :angel:

Joe, the Olivia ornament goes on the tree with your other ornaments
TOO, not instead of your other ones. You don't get out of it that easy!
:wink:

[fuhgedaboutit]

Sorry about your personal problem. :shock:
I know, she is just soooooooooo cute!

The WebMistress is right as always. (Cutest babes, young & old :roll: )
And we want to see ALL of your ornamentations!
