I think trilateral saved the day with this one. Hope it helps.

hehe Yes, good point. This last part is where I do my layer work. As Aquatium said, a masterful enhancement will usually have extensive work done to several parts separately and thus, need separate layers in the process. I'm going to demon...

PBlade, my friend. You've given me an idea to use here, with the color balance adjustment. Part 2 At this point, I’ve gone back and cleaned the image up a bit by removing the excess pixels and smoothing some of the outline out. Now that we...

Yes!!! this is almost exactly what I do for reflections. You been picking around in my brain, PBlade?

Oh, questions like these are encouraged with my tutorials. Better to ask questions as we move along, I say. I tend to use curves to be more subtle in bringing the image out, so to speak. This way, I can brighten an image without overexposi...

Excellence, Phi. Very useful tutorial indeed. Skin Tutorial - Part 1 This will be a three-part tutorial focusing on pulling out the realistic skin textures that already embedded within our RSI's though our artwork. Please note that with mo...

(Gorgeous... both in description and in presentation, and yes it takes alot to do works like these without stocks and screenshots or other imported media. Well-done and radiant lighting. *saves*)

Something about that picture says grunge/alternative to me. Very nice. What brand is that bass, if you don't mind me asking?

Excellence! and thank you for adding it to my tutorial thread, Phi. I will definately play around with this one. I think I have an idea or two to go with this as well.

I agree with this. I personally look for a spot to go to after I jack in, rather than sit at the hardline these days. Hardlines were always in dramatic scenes in the movies, so I usually save RP around hardlines for when there's a chase, a...

(Yes!!! This is a fantastic shot at a fantastic angle with fantastic effects. Everything from the snow to the exit wound... <3 Didn't know ol' Beach was pimp like dat. )

Yeah, I'd agree. The one on the bottom with greater contrast is more drawing to the eyes. Would be interesting to see that one with dark text, as Riac said.

Yes... we need to remind ourselves of a time when we didn't have the luxuries and freedoms some of us take for granted today. Times might not always be as fortunate in the future... Vason wrote: The angle along with the blur really does gi...

Maybe so. ...and as for FC, I agree with Chloe. I don't demand that people stay IC at all times in that channel, but I do (to show example to others) about 90% of the time. Also as Wolfess said earlier, using a voice channel is a good alte...

This was a crude "put-together", but I el-oh-el'ed. ^^

Sexeh...both of those. This one's awesome, Reeverb!

All of those rock! ROFL @ #13 A few of mine so far:

Everyone, let's wish Sykin a happy birthday! You're the man now, dog!

Same here.

Magnificent! This should be interesting to try out. I can't help but be fascinated by our differences of approach, yet we always seem to end up in a similar direction.

Rarebit, that picture is sexy... Apropos, very nice Gryphon. :smileywink: I figured I'd change things up a bit and do something a little more realistic: "...into this." Original: Message Edited by Pyraci on 06.08.2006 04:38 PM

Thank you, Walrus. This is an excellent image. ...and to all those still only pointing their fingers at the Frenchman for the "death" of Morpheus, this should shed some light on the subject.
