Good question Mouldy. I can probaly average around a day maybe sometimes an all nighter.

But starting something with no theme like my sigs/banners, it can probaly take a week or so but thats because Im trying to gather good ideas and whatnot.

[pyromaniac]

Great wallpaper, PYRO. You make all this with PSP?

[Banned]

hey pyro(maniac) what happened to ur sig and avatar

[PyroHazard]

@Pyromaniac: Yup. Using threshold on a photograph can produce some vivid and grungy results :)

[stealth1991]

he could of made it from scratch or he could of had a bridge in backround the made it look like they way it is :)

[robbie]

Or

You could just reshack your shell and explorer and make your computer look like this

San Andreas City Blue Wallpaper (1024x768) (http://www.sinon.150m.com/images/wallpaper_sablue .png)

[Know Buddy]

dude.. I love your wallpapers.. :D

*sets SAN ANDREAS CITY BLUE as a wallpaper*

[Zero]

these are good, i saved them for later use, but i think the pic of me at the Zoo is gonna stay my wallpaper for a while, lol.

Anyways, uhm...so you say you used PainShopPro? whitch version?

cuz i have version 8, and i have messed around with it, but havent found anything THAT special. You gotta tell how to make those....

not exact word for word, but in a netshell, lmfao.

[PyroHazard]

I use Paint Shop Pro 7.

Nutshell directions

1) Get a 1204x768 pic of a city or pic with a lot of detail.
2) Colors > Adjust > Threshold > 150-170
3) Make another layer and add a gradient layer of your choice.
4) Make the gradient layer have the "Hard Light" on the layer palette

Pretty much those steps but I encourage you all to mess around in Photoshop/PSP and come up with your own ideas/techniques. :)

I've been banned for the third or fourth time now because I don't know when I'm not welcome!

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

HA shame on samerali i never liked him anyway

PyroHazard : do you know how to do that in PSP 8? i can't find anything about color threshold

[PyroHazard]

I don't think PSP8 has threshold but i know PSP7 does. They switched around some stuff on PSP8 :|

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

ok hows this for a 1st try? lol its here http://www.imagetown.net/images/42959112.jpeg

[PyroHazard]

Its alright but I know thats a different effect than threshold. Couldn't Jasc make things simpler by not moving around so much shit?

x_x

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

Yeah I gave up on finding the threshold thing so i just experimented with different effects

[Neil]

The first one is missing the developer's logo.

[Xeroer]

I have a mighty cool desktop, so if someone can spare some webspace.. I'll gladly show it off..

its..how they say, 1337? ;)

[.:Mouldy Punk:.]

go to http://imagetown.net and you can upload it for free

if I like it I'll put it on my site (with your permission of course)

[pyromaniac]

Well im very disappointed that PSP8 is lacking the treshold...

[Evan]

.:Mouldy Punk:.,

Your 1st try one has many problems. I am not picking on you just letting you know. The stroke on the words "Grand Theaft Auto" has to be set at least 3. And the words have to be conjointed. And you need to have some better colours for the background picture, the words San Andreas have to be be curved and no space betwenn the words "San" and "Andreas". Like this "SanAndreas".

Thanks for the pointers. I'm dont really do much with psp or any graphics program really, only little things like logos and banners and things like that.

[Darkon_X]

Im getting used to this PSP8 program, it's pretty cool look at my new avatar, it's animated, I love it :P

[Don]

That's a nice signature ;) you got there

[Darkon_X]

yea yeah, signature, my bad, well it seems like you made a new one, it's awesome

[Don]

hehe thank you..

but as you might know.. my sigs suck.. so I didn't make this one. All the credit goes to Zero.
