Thanks =)

I've been using it for years, and I finally decided to take a few classes in it at college. My professor finally said " I can't teach you any more, want to help teach the class next term?" So I helped teach the class for 4 months ;)

I still have a LOT to learn about Photoshop though. There are things I see other people do and I think, "How the heck did they do that?"

Here is one of the projects I did when I was bored. I took a photograph of one of my friends, then used Photoshop to ... change it up a bit ;)

I love that kind of stuff. It gets my creative mind working overtime :)

I think it's getting there. Located some wheels I really like at a local dealer. So now when I buy the TC, I can get the wheels put on *immediately*.

They are Ultra Apex 200 wheels, and I can get them in 16, 17, 18, or 19" for this. Just need to figure out which size works best. Probably an 18".

Also tinkered with the location of the design, and the colors , added some sparkle paint... I think this would look nice.. but I'm *still* tinkering!

Does this look better? I also modified the lines of the band.. kind of a reverse of how the lines follow the windows...

The whole pic *IS* up =)

What screen resolution are you running? I hadn't even though that some folks might be running a lot smaller.
I run 1920x1200 on a 24" LCD, so everything on this forum shows up.

The photos are all uploaded at 1000x803.

As a photographer / graphic artist, I'm just used to uploading large images :D

yEAH IT DOESN'T MATTER SCREENWIZE, JUST EDIT TO 640 pre-email.

I do the same with bar headers etc. to do links, they flash at pointer when ready after a couple of clicks. eg. put pointer to left of the f in fordtransitforum.org or whatever click mouse a few times till a flashing vert line at pointer position appears hold ctrl press A then C which holds it in memory until you want to do a link then hold ctrl and press V and it appears like magic, which is what it is i guess.

Alright, even though some folks can see them full sized, I edited all of them anyway. So now they are all 640. :wink:

I think it is more to do with the forum formatting than the screen size used.

There are several quirks probably down to money but it's pretty good overall.

They are good now.

Can you see them full screen sized on the forum?

I notice you have added a ylo pinstripe that volumetrically equals the line drop ylo area increase and by matching the window base symmetrically have sorted the problem areas and i reckon it will look really good on the street as it is moving when stationary due to the overall design and to add anything else would be like gilding a lily.

Yessir, I can see the pictures full size at 1000 pixels. Heck, if you take your browser as it is now, and resize it smaller, even my small pictures will cut off now. So it's based on how big your browser window is. So if you have a smaller monitor, or lower resolution, the window will be smaller, and then cut off the pictures :)

Yes, I think my design is about done. I am really liking how it flows now with the body and the lines :)

I'm on a 16" diagonal screen and set at 1024 x 768. What do you reckon?

In YOUR case, you won't be able to see the bigger pictures because they are almost the same size as your screen =)

Because of the smaller screen size, your web browser will automatically cut off the pictures, probably by HALF.

We need to find you a bigger monitor :lol:

Ha, right, i know it has been discussed here before re; the pics and 640 allows us lot to see the big picture, on a lot of forums we can just click on images and enlarge but not here, that's the cost bit i guess as many are the same overall layout.

Need a Texas monitor! :lol:

Guess I"m just used to running multiple monitors at higher resolutions...

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6183/6115448630_1331558aa0_o.jpg

Check that one out... I run a 24" on the right at 1920x1200 and the 19" on the left runs at 1280x1024.

Upgrading soon, and I'll be running THREE monitors side by side. I LOVE electronics : :lol:
