Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now ^ i think she meant that we can use brushes as long as we don't say "oh, i used a brush instead of a text layer (which is the only layer allowed) so now i can use some other layer instead". i can be wrong though i got a question. you say we can saturate them etc but normally you do this using adjustment layers (at least on PS). does it mean that only the color/duplicate base layers (in other words fill layers) are not allowed?
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now in photoshop you can also change the saturation on the base layer without adding an adjustment layer. you just have to go to image --> adjustments --> hue/saturation. that's it. so i'm sure we can do that, right? oh and text layers are allowed...that is great
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now ^ oooh, okay. i had no clue, thanks for the tip cathwillows
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now Woohoo! I'm a bit...err, scared, since I've been fooling around with layers a lot lately, but I went without layers for a long time and I liked some of those icons. *prances off to find pictures* Oh, but can we use tiny text? Not as a brush or anything, but actual tiny text?
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now My question is : how do you know people used layers or not? I mean,I can use selective colour,color balance,hue/sat,etc...without using layers and I'd also can use layers merge everything and noone could tell the difference. I'm just confused.
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now The only place you can use brushes is on your base layer. To Adzix: I know, I have PS too - is is possible to desaturate without a new layer. But I meant completely desaturate, like to greyscale. Desaturation was just a random example - you can do whatever you want but no layers. :lol: Seems I've complicated things now... Yes you may - text layers are the only - I repeat, only layers you may use. To Hormiga: You've brought up a good point, and I'm glad you did. You're totally right, I'll admit that there's virtually no way to know. But I should hope that y'all can just work off the honour system - if you follow the rules, it's more fun for everybody involved.
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now Very well spoken! You only betray yourself if you cheat, and these challenges are just for fun, so no need to bluff. Just wanted to say good luck and lots of fun to every participant in this LIMS, aaand I also added our little slowpoke Geni to the list.
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now OMG I love you Chloe!! :lol: This totally evens out the no-layers thing I'm searching for pics as we speak!
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now cant wait to see what you come up with Ann !!
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now First challenge- Or in my case...the only challenge! (Im not very confident about my icon skills, can you tell?) :lol: Good luck everyone!
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now I only asked that because I thought that wasn't a visible thing,just curious,not that I was going to cheat.
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now i've sent my entry. this round is going to be SO interesting. yeah, thanks. i kinda figured it out already, as far as you know
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now O no! No layers?!?! I use so many layers… Now what? I must find some very pretty picture, or I’m going to be voted out so fast …
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now Oh, no, I knew that! No fear. Thank you for bringing up that point though, it's a good one and well worth addressing.
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Signups now Is text allowed or is it considered a new layer?
