Is Photshop fairly easy to use?

Lonestar said to use the Eraser in Paint Shop Pro. Would that do the same thing?

Thanks for the update on the first set you did for me.

I was thinking that for the 2nd set... that you might try the original colrs that are on the PSP... just not sure if they are too dark to have pics on them.

Oh... and I made the DUMBEST statement yesterday. I said you might try a pearl white background... and then remembered that the psp lettering is WHITE.... DUH! :wall:

First question, Photoshop is pretty complicated, but after a few months of use, I find it fairly easy to use.

Second question. What LonestarROB said to use was the "Background Eraser". So look for that in the program. When you find it, I would thind all you would have to do is click on the background. This would then select it, then you would just press delete on the keyboard.

About the sets, I was trying to make my set sort of have the original PSP colors, so I'm guessing I could do it for the second also ;).

About the pearl background; I wasn't even sure what you were talking about, so it's like I was tought, just smile and nod.

EDIT: Here are the backgrounds, and now I have the zip.

This is Cosmosstopper:
I was accedentally logged in as my sister.
The background eraser tool is not that simple, you end up making multiple selections and it is really choppy.
Try the mask tool..I believe PSP..Paint shop has it. then paint over the object you want to keep...exit mask mode the erase all that is left.... I hope this tutorial helps..the picture is kind of bad though.

I found a tutorial, go to http://www.grafx-design.com/files/22psp.ZIP. It tells you how to make transparent backgrounds.

You need Acrobat Reader in order to view it.

Cool, thanks guys. I'll check them out when I get home.

bobjoebillybo,

I'll grab those pics for you when I get home and send you the links.

One other question. Since I am going to try an experiment doing this stuff... is there any way you could send over the backgrounds that you just did for the Tomb Raider set... without anything in it? I'll use those as the backgrounds to experiment with.

You mean you want all 12 in the different colors? Or would one gray background work.

BTW: Do you like the backgrounds?

EDIT: Well I made 12 different colored backgrounds for you. Check the attachments.

Since I am at work... I can't compare them to the first set really, but the look nice. Yes... if you could zip up the blank backgrounds... that would help me out. Also would like to find the original 12 also.

I am really curious to see how they look an an actual PSP. Wish someone would create an emulated example. Got to figure out how Raven did his... maybe just a snapshot?

Alright, I got the 12 backgrounds (check my earlier post), and what do you mean by original 12? You mean the 12 that come on the PSP? If so, I could get them for you.

Yes... the initial orignal 12 that came with the PSP.

Alright, check the attachments for the original backgrounds (and yes, they are supposed to be that small).

Yes, I was trying to make your set the same color theme as the original background colors.

How do tings look with the original backgrounds?

It looks uh... original. What do you mean? Which original backgrounds?

The Original 12 PSP backgrounds... whn you put an image on them... like a Tomb Riader. How does it look? Does the background seem to be too dark for images to be placed on them?

I personally do not think that it would look great. They do seem pretty dark and also, in order to put pictures on it, you would either have to shrink down the tomb raider picture, or blow up the background. Either way, it would look very fuzzy in the final result.

Trigun set complete. Enjoy.

I don't know what's wrong with Photobucket.....I saved them in bmp format but it thinks it's a jpg file for the images.

MAKE SURE WHEN YOU RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE PICTURE AS, SAVE THE FILE AS A BMP.

I wasn't sure. I thought it would be dark looking.

Anyways... I'll send over the links tonight to stuff I was looking for... Might be more than 12, iff that is OK. the more I have to choose from the better.

Sounds good.

BTW: Raven sent me his preview psd, so I can make the preview finally. Give me a few minutes.

EDIT: Here is a preview, but not how it would look just normal (not selecting any thing in the menu). But it still gives you an idea:

Awesome... is there anyway I can use it with my Pain Shop Pro. I know it doesn't accept PSD though... tried.

I saved each layer as a seperate image. Then you could open each one up in Paint Shop Pro. Use the attachements to download them.

EDIT: I'm doing something better, wait a second.

EDIT: Ok, I got it. Download the attachment.

Will do... I'll check it out when I get home. At work so i don't have access to anything. It would be around 6:00 my time CA

Ok, I'll probably be around then.

It might take me a bit to find all the pics that I want. But it will be around that time. See you then.

How to you post your images in these posts? i am not sure how it is done.

you need to upload your pictures to a site like photobucket.com or imageshack.com and then when this comes up [IMG]xxx[IMG], you paste the link to your picture.

Thanks for the reply

I'm willing to create a full preview (with the main menu etc.)!
Let me know if you're intrested http://games.telenet.be/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

I finally got these backgrounds done for the Etherlords theme, hope you like them (right click to save as bmp!):

I could do it, but you would have to supply the pictures you would like. It would make the process much easier.

When you get the photos, I would prefer if you PM them to me. Just so we don't take up space.
