Hi, I'm using CS3 and I have problem when trying to save round connor icon like the one I use here but it saved as square icon with a little white at the connor that should be transparent.

Any idea? Thanks.

Has anyone heard of this game? It's for the DS and its a lovely game.

I'm not too far into the game but it really gets to you. And to think that I can't read much japanese at all.

Summary from 1UP.com
As far as the game itself goes, it's a story-heavy, overhead-view adventure set within two towns and the surrounding countryside. A new girl, Nanami Yoshida, has just moved in to your neighborhood, and apparently she's being targeted by a local band of ghosts and ghouls. It seems this has something to do with a pair of sakura (cherry blossom) trees that dominate the landscape of both towns, one slowly withering and another one blooming deep into the summertime, as if to make up for its weaker sibling. You, a normal boy, decide to get to the bottom of both mysteries, talking to people and unlocking new story episodes as you go along.

Now what really tugged the strings of my heart is that Toru's dad, Kaname, likes Nanami's mom, Takako. Toru's mom, Haruka, is very upset about this but can't do anything about it. Instead, she confides her feelings to their family cat, Traumelei. And Nanami, who recently moved to town, has only her dog, Reinford (ラインホルド) who will listen to her.

God, what is this game doing to me? ; A ;

Too lazy to really update. I did write, since I went to the write-in. Current word count is 21,739 words. Still waaaaaay behind Lydia. I was pretty distracted at the write-in, actually, but it was pretty fun.

More tomorrow.

Hi,
  I was wondering if I could get an overlay effect like this header: http://www.fanning-love.org/
For instance, how did they do the blue stripes as well as the "shadow" of Elle behind the main image?  And what about the blurry white fade out at the bottom? I use GIMP 2.6.7. Thank you. :)

How would I make two gif files play at the same time in Adobe CS3? An example is made in this icon by oum_boojae. Thanks!

Fourth piece. There will be one more piece in part one; I'll post that tomorrow. In which the scavenging party to the city is underway, and fun complications ensue. This includes that scene that was supposed to be an important dialogue and then wasn't, so uh, tell me how that went? I seriously can't write fighting. Tell me how to make those parts suck less?

( Part One, Piece Four, 3,283 Words )

So, if I want to be a responsible student, there is so much shit I should be working on today. And I'm working on some of it, really. The problem is that I am significantly behind on the readings for Sociology, Psychology, AND Nutrition, and I'm about to be tested on all of it on Tuesday. And I realized if I really want my paper to NOT SUCK, I should finish reading chapters 10 and 12, the ones on social class and race/ethnicity. Which is what the paper is on -- in the media. I just finished chapter ten, but now my brain is pretty much drained. I decided to take a short break before starting in on chapter twelve.

This textbook is actually really, really interesting. I'm sure part of it is that the way the guy wrote it is really engaging and MAKES SENSE. It's not all long elaborate definitions and technical examples, but real world examples in terms that are pretty easy to understand. But I'm also sure a large part of it is that it is SOCIOLOGY, and I just seem to be interested in the subject.

It also gives me a lot of ideas for RP characters that will probably never happen.

The PROBLEM is, in my present ridiculously emotional state, I'm emotionally drained by the time I finish a chapter. Pretty much anything this guy says about people less fortunate than me, and women, are about enough to have me tearing up.

By the time I finish this paper, I'll probably want to go sleep for about twelve hours minimum.

In regards to Psychology and Nutrition, I'm really not as concerned. Studying for Nutrition will involve reading through the study guide and going back through the powerpoint one more time. That's seriously all I need to do to get an A or a B on those tests. For Psychology, I also have a study guide, broken down by page numbers and concepts. I just intend to flip through the two chapters and skim the sections on each concept. I just also need to make sure to read the little text boxes, because in the past the professor has derived questions from those things even when they weren't on the study guide.

This is a tutorial on how to make animated rain drops requested by wunderkind_lucy. The tut is a combination of the wonderful tutorials by alexia47 and awmp - thank you for providing the ideas and techniques!


The tutorial was done with PS7 and ImageReady

- This episode was amazing.
- I started to sort through these, but it was on my second de-selecting of about 100 files to delete that I gave up. I don't want to talk about it.
- Alright, it's back to sleep for me.

uhmm.... i need help with my Imageready. I use Photoshop CS2 and the Imageready that comes with it.
When I'm making my gif it looks nice but when I save it it comes out all nasty and different. it didn't do this before so I don't know whats happened! D;


How its supposed to look:


How it came out:


see how the text has become fuzzy, brown and ugly instead of red and sharp? I looked in my options and played around with a bunch of things but nothing works!! please help...

Hi, guys!

I have Photoshop CS3 and I use it to make animations from videos. I had CS2 before and I haven't done many gifs on CS3 so far. When I save the image (from Save for Web & Devices) the maximum quality which I can get is 256 colors but the animation still looks grainy.

( cut for a rather big .gif )

I don't want to make this my official day seven post, because if I write my paper in a timely manner "tomorrow" I might have time to write some more. So it's a funny little halfway post.

Guess what my current word count is?

19,012 fucking words.

And guess what else is great about that? (Since I still haven't fucking caught up to Lydia, but now it is SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE IT.) I finished part one. I finished all of fucking part one. TAKE THAT, nanovel! I will totally kick your ass this month.

Also, from this number, I can project that the entire story will probably be at least 80k words. Oh, hell. I wonder if I can write that much just in November? Because I know from experience, as soon as December first hits, I just want to put the story in the drawer and pretend it doesn't exist for about a year. At least I feel that way when the story isn't done. I didn't really feel that way last year, but I kicked my nanovel's ass last year for reals. So uh.

At least the last 3k words of that, by the way, are probably pretty fucking crack. My brain was getting more and more deranged the more I wrote. But I got pretty much to the final place I'd been envisioning for the past couple days, so I guess it's cool. Also, I guess I'm pretty behind posting my snippets now. I'll post the next chunk sometime before midnight "today." But not right now. Right now I'm posting this babble. Yay, babble. And the last scene is probably even fucking longer than the opening scene. Oops. A single scene should probably not be over 4 or 5k words.

I am SO ready for the next world. Come on, Damien, here we go~

Third piece. I really should have posted this the other day. In which Damien attends a sort of town meeting, and the story practically turns into a "The Hero's Quest" plot. I seriously haven't used that plot in ages, and it actually makes me kind of uncomfortable for some reason. What the hell?
