Okie, every now and again, I'll put up some pics that a mess with on Corel PhotoPaint 12, just so you guys can tell me what I'm doing wrong, haha. Ain't I good to you???

Here's two versions of one, note that I had to cut Dimebag out by a very shakey hand (lolz) and that the dates are wrong on the red one:

This one's a banner I did for a forum:

This was for a member on another forum:

This is the original of one I scaled down:

This was one for me I made for here, but it was too close to what Caolen's used to be, so I didn't, lolz!!

They're good Advent ^_^
Except on some of your pictures you can see a black outline like this one-

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m11/DD_...itionentry2.jpg

And on the one where you used the same picture as Caolen it was hard to read the words on the bottom.

Other than those few things i had to point out you're really good Advent. Good job~

There all really good hun

here is some tips hope you do not mind, tell me to get stuffed if you like lol

With the stroke around the text that works well but do not use a two tone text colour it never works i had this problem bigtime lol i like the effect and was intent on making it work sadly two weeks later i admitted defeat;. Use a colour which brings the text to life makes it stand out will bring your banners to life and become more noticable.

secondly when cropping a image why do all that work? if you like pm me and ill give you some renders i do not mean image ones but ones to use as backgrounds, but planet renders has them which i think you might have seen. it never is easy cropping a image but use blue or smudge around the edges it will remove that rough edge.

Oooo, coolio! Thanks guys!
The thing about the black outline, is that when I convert the Corel file to a JPEG image so I can upload it to photobucket, it merges it with a black background for some reason and ends up coming out like that. Anyone who uses Corel know how to stop it merging? Or how to get rid of the background?

nice work ^_^

Sometimes the edges on some of the characters/graphics are a bit rough/pixelated/evident, try using a blur or messing with the color contrasts/blend modes to make them a bit more seamless maybe, :)

If you want the outlines to dissapear well your using the wrong file format JPEG is the typical image format but to have a transparency around the image then save it as a png or as compu serve gif you will understand what i mean when you get there.
