The latest from PixelPerfect: Episode 92 - HDR Secrets: Amazing Photography Tricks

Anybody know where I can get some help with a first time image editing project I got to do?

I have different sized photos, scans and digitals, that I want to put against a background. I found Some free nature scene wallpapers sized 1600x1200 1152x864 1024x768 800x600.

I want to make banner like strips out of the wallpaper. And reduce or crop to fit the photos inside and across them. The simplest way possible...

My goal is for printing this out on on a inkjet printer standard 8x11 paper at least two strips/banners a page. Something like 2.5 high by 8 or 9 wide in inches for the output.

Great episode! I know more about HDR... very cool and something I'm going to use for sure.

I like the production of this show. I liked how Bert and Ben were in the bottom right as the work was being done on the screen sometimes, nice touch.

ask and yee shall recieve. Check this week's episode.

thank you! it was the first time i really tried anything expansive in CMYK color mode

Thanks. After posting i realized that when I used stroke one the marque with feather = 0

Doh.

Awesome show, thanks for the great tips!

I tried some of the client work in my first mehod but I didn't like how it was coming out. Even though I did my Super Mario pieces like that, I just didnt' have time to do it right, so I'm going with method 2. Also, someone else is going to be doing the coloring ;)

"Look. I never said you shouldn't help the show. I said the endless bitching and repeating of the exact same thing obviously is getting old. There are way too many posts in this forum with the exact same people stating the exact same fact. It doesn't look good. No one is arguing that. But to continue complaining right after they said they are fixing the problem is idiotic. If you really feel you need to add to the chorus, go for it. It's just pissing in to the wind at this point.

There is a difference between helping them correct a problem, and just complaining about it. I get the vibe that most people in this forum fall into the later category."

I tried to be diplomatic before in my responses, but now you are just talking shite. The "endless bitching and repeating of the exact same thing" might be getting old, but in fairness, nothiing is actually being done about it. And that is why there is repitition in the forums.
Why is it that for a couple of episodes the production is perfect, then it gets bad again. Earlier in this post, Recklessftw said "I agree with the others, the camera plus LCD isn't cool but like was stated, they are going to fix that in the next little while so I won't gripe." This aforementioned "Fix" has been repeated to us on numerous occasions, but to no avail. I might fall into the catogory of just complaining abouit the problem, but that is just because I am not in a position to fix it from Ireland. The only thing that I can do from here is to try to bring this problem to the attention of the people who can fix it, by writing about it in the forums. I suspect that this is similar to the other people in this forum, like Recklessftw and Shinigami052, that feel that the show needs to be improved, but the only way that we can do anything about this is to bring it to the attention of the people producing the show by stating it in the forums and e-mailing people like Jim Lauderback. What else can we do that is productive??? The fact of the matter is that the show is being produced at a lower quality than it needs to be, and we, the viewers, need to know why. If it can be produced perfectly once, why not every time?!?!?!?!?
