Any good at photoshop?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Whilst Photoshop is very probably one of the finest and most powerful pieces of software ever writen, I wouldn't say it was the best tool in the world for re-editing badly dithered animated GIF's....

I'll have a go though.
Something pithy.

Shrinking it has overcome the bad dithering that mik pointed out...

@mrsRJ -did you get your/mark's jaffa cake from a site specialising in food-with-faces (eg."virgin mary's face on my spotted dick.com") or am i the first to notice it? (in which case i proclaim it's likeness to be that of the shropshire-born Ned Ludd:destroyer of machinery and littleknown fan of smashing orangey-bits in the middle.)

I'd like to ask if someone could help me out photoshopwise too :D

I'd like to paste the MR logo from the MR site together (which I already did: clicky), but the animated part becomes un-animated whenever I paste it in with whatever program I have :(

Could anyone help me out with that, and resize it to 176x220 for me please (just through adding borders to the top and the bottom, and make it smaller afterwards) :D :notworthy:

A combo of Photoshop and Imageready.

Which I wouldn't advise buying (:innocent:) as it's damn expensive if all you want to do is resize images...

I wondered if there is a reason why whenever I resize images they become all edgy and less sharp whereas your resized image remains well... Perfect... Is that just because I use an amateur program, or :?:

Image Photoshop does something called "bicubic resampling". I have little-to-no idea what it means.

depends. if its "true colour" then it can anti-alias the resizing/resampling, so that the new edges "fade" between the colours on either side (have a quick google for "anti alias")

however, if its a gif or whatever it only has 256 colours to work with, so any areas that would have been anti-aliased and fuzzy and up harsh and jagged - it isnt able to create edges with all the colours it requires to best-guesses, usually badly.

if its a gif and you're using something like paint shop pro try upping the colour depth/number of colours in the image before resizing...

photoshop is good enough to take care of this automatically ;)

I don't have photoshop on my pc so I work with combinations of ACDSee, MS Photo Editor and Paint :lol: With results like my avatar: Hardly readible text :roll:

Interesting stuff you tell nevertheless :D
