Practising Paintshop/GIMP...

[ontos]

What size do you normally make the signature? I thought I would give it a go, when I finish a P-38 Photo Recon I'm working on. I have a basic idea, a recon photo taken by a P-38, with an aged look with a curved roll of film over that with the Photo Recon P-38 on top. I can see it in my head but putting it to the screen is something else. Is this forum mainly for Paintshop, I have Photoshop.

My sig is 580x255, but you can check out this thread for the sig rules, if you like: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/ann...les-14344.html (Signature Rules)

Sounds like a cool concept, we'd sure like to see you put it together!

This thread was created for practicing Paintshop, but we use a number of imaging programs (Paintshop, Photoshop, Irfanview, etc) and compare notes.

Just jump in and let 'er rip!

Yep, second everything GG has said.

I started the thread and I happen to use Paintshop. Photoshop is no problem though, many of us use that program, among other software.

I suggest you create a thread, posting your ideas and attempts, with us helping you along.

Working on a new siggy with this nice GIMP proggy. Much more fun than paintshop. It's a picture I took last year with our new camera of a flying Hurricane, mixed with the famous St. Pauls picture. Not sure how to do the text in this one yet.

Nice concept and work, but now is all pale blue over here!

[Marcel]

Okay, two attempts:
Edit: Changed paper

[Wurger]

Not bad....looking nice. But your nick could have been done with golden or silever font like in these very old pictures or postcards. The pic with the Hurricane in looks like the old postcard of sepia tonality.
