    That's nice, though I don't like the font. It's a boring font when you have so much good happening around it.

    I have PS and Illustrator but what most do with PS I do with Illustrator. I just like it more and I'm more comfortable with it.

          Use GIMP, the open source version of Photoshop, it does a lot of the same stuff as PS and it's FREE!

            I pop it open from time to time. I used to do work in it but it's rare now. I got a good sized sig collection though, I might post more.

              Illustrator is also from Adobe.

              I guess one way to compare Photoshop and Illustrator is:

              Photoshop is used primarily to manipulate digital photos while Illustrator is primarily used to draw designs, specifically logos and typesets.

              I use both together but since I'm mostly responsible for designing branding elements for work, I focus on Illustrator. I'll touch Photoshop if I need to touch up a photo or manipulate a few of it's settings before dumping it into Illustrator.

              I'd share some things but it's all work specific and well, I can't really share that sort of stuff. In the future, when certain deals are in place, then I will.

                Here's the thing, I have it, and I like it. Its not as easy as PS, but Im getting the hang of it. Biggest thing is: Feels like there are no text editing/blending options. You just get to pick font type, size, and color, and thats it. Any help?

                  Sometimes, not as much as I used to though. But if you're talking sigs, yeah I still make those from time to time.

                    Question for those that are obviously comfortable with Photoshop.

                    Was is your best method to cutting a person away from a background?

                    The options I've used are:

                    Background Eraser Tool (with a solid colored background)
                    Magic Wand Tool (either selecting the image or background and seperating it)

                    Then there's another option on Illustrator.

                    I'd like to know what's the best method. I'm trying to cut a girl out of a green screen but the green isn't entirely consistent and it's causing me headaches.

                      Depends really on my mood and or project. If I am triing to be as exact as possible I use the pen tool. Some times I use the polygonal lasso, and other times the regular lasso tool.

                        Just something simple I made more than a year ago:

                        My Specs:

                        ZX Spectrum
                        CPU: Z80 @ 3.5 MHz
                        GPU: Monochrome display
                        RAM: 48 KB
                        OS: Sinclair BASIC

                          I'm gonna have to mess with the pen tool again on PS. Last time I tried, it didn't work the same way it does on Illustrator and I really like how it works on Illustrator.

                          The lasso tool also seems a bit too free. I could try using the magnetic lasso, though, that at times can cause frustration depending on the image.

                          I'll mess around with it. Either way, it's going to be hard because she's got green in-between the strands of her hair and it just sucks.

                          The issue with this particular green scree is that the green isn't consistent. And everytime I try taking away green, little spots remain on the white back ground. It's weird. It makes her look like she's standing in front of a fuzzy white background.

                              Forget it. I used a different method. Select Color Range, Invert Image. It worked better than any of the other methods for this particular picture.
