like right there in the middle, im hoping that it would be something simple and not somthing i have to "measuere" out :P

but anyways, another question, is how do i get the colors to fade like that? its like another shade or something sorta like a blend, i haven't been able to figure it out.

anyways. thanks


by the way, the way i make my lines stand out liek that, takes a long time, the way i do it *which im sure most people think is way too long* is by, makeing :newlayer: 1, then making :newlayer: 2 draw a line, and stroke it, then flatten the :newlayer: 's :P.

anyone willing to help me out? thanks ;)

^BUMP

what lines do you mean?
Those in the news box?

You could do that by making lines with the line tool and than erase them with your eraser tool.

Or you could make lines with the line tool and than
make selections with your rectangular marquee tool and delete parts of the line.

To make straight lines press shift while you draw a line.

but its hardd..

Hard?... you can't expect something to be easy if you wanna learn rite??

Okay.. tip : use the grid and check snap to grid

use the line tool and create your boxes...
Its not that hard after you've tried successfully.

personally I would like to be able to do those rings in ps. But I gather they've been done in some 3D progg, rite ? If I'm wrong in my assumption and this is "doable" in ps, plz let me know !!

those rings are done in bryce...

...but what I was after was if there existed some deep dark secret concerning PS that only you experienced guy's knew of that made it possible to do them in PS.

Got bryce recently but haven't come to far in my education due to PS...(PS's to fun...damn it for ever !). But I'll give it a shot someday.

Thx though.

welcome...

but offcourse you can make it in photoshop, just airbrush it... :D
