Testing Out Da Grunge

Downloaded some grunge brushes including a set called "A Thousand Miles" and so I decided to give it a go and try to see what I could come up with using my new toys.

Gimme some advice on what to do next time to make it better. Thanks

Yeah. That's me an Jennifer Garner - main actress on Alias.

ahhh... never seen her before... looks pretty good at a glance but when you look closely you can see the feathering of your body on her forehead

the4man >>> txh... *goes to tjeck it out*

Looks great at a glance until you notice as someone else pointed out, I have trees growing out of my head, and Jennifer's hair is transparent that the top. But then again, it was my first photomanip that actually turned out decent so it works

Just glance at it. Don't stare

hey cyburke

I know this is probably so simple but how do you make the thin borders for your images? Do you do it manually(make one rectangle for one side etc) or what?

Select -> All
Select -> Modify -> Border
--- 1 pixel

Now you've selected the 1 pixel border around your image. You can either...

A) Have black as a forground color and press Alt+Del to fill it with a precise black background.

or... how i do it...

B) Go to your Airbrush Tool (j), (Brush: 45 ; Mode: Normal ; Pressure 100%) and make a thorough sweep around the border. This will give your image more of a one pixel deep border with it anti-aliased around the edges of the line. Gives it more of a smooth appearance.
