First Attempt at Photoshop?

[darkangel]

Ok this my very first time ever photoshopping or whastever its called. LOL! I used a color picker and paint brush to get rid of a telephone/electrical pole and some wires. Remember First time trying this ever. Oh and thanks to Siph I used Paint.Net to do it. What do you all think? I just noticed that I did miss 1 wire though.

rule to shopping is never admit what (PS) tools you used
and always use layers

looks good, all-in-all

Ok this one had poles and 1 with a transformer on it and a lot of wires going down the street and in the sky. How does this one pan out? It was real hard for me to do. And I messed up in a couple of areas...

Ok Ididn't say what I used in the last one. I know I messed in one are but I'm trying real hard to learn this.

What do you suggest I use and on what parts? I dont know anything about photoshopping. I have a clone stamp but I dont know what it does.

You are doing well .

Keep up the good work.

 

[Tuffdisc]

Not bad DA, even though I am not perfect at photoshop myself, I would say that is a good attempt

 

[Staci]

hell you are one step ahead of me as i dont even know how to open photoshop LOL

 

[darkangel]

Thanks Tuff and Fuzz. Im using Paint.Net for this. Siph recommended it because I was having a hard time with Gimp. Well I think this time I got it as good as I possibly can. Lots of wires and poles and transformer. Well here it is...So what do you all think about this effort? I dont think I can do any better than this.

Looks pretty damn good!:thumbup

Thanks! I hope everyone else thinks so. I've been working on it for about an hour LOL!

Your first one is very good, despite the one wire of course - great go at it.

The other two need work. don't say it's as good as you can do, because you *can* do better.

You've got to get to grips with the clone tool to improve your skills. Read the simple help on the clone stamp. I've pointed you to it a couple of times - just read the second paragraph (like one sentence is all it is). The help is less than this message length for clone stamp.

If it's still causing you muchos grief - check out this video.

If that's still too much, here's the Siph guide to clone stamps © (after the video!)
