<0> That's handy.
<1> ah, there are definately more employment options now too
<1> the main employer in bastrop county is convenience stores
<0> heh
<0> Around here it's all the franchise stores. Target, Walmart, home improvement places...
<0> Nothing close by pays a living wage.
<1> walmart is the worst, they want to reduce the number of people who work full time so they don't have to pay benefits
<0> heh
<0> Poor Locke.
<0> He's French and was watching a Photoshop tutorial movie and there was a mention of a drawing done with a Sharpie.
<0> He had no clue what the hell that was. :)
<0> So I watched a snippet of his video and explained Sharpies and told him the drawing had been scanned in.
<0> The tutorial ***umed the viewer would understand.
<0> It was driving him nuts. :)
<0> hehe
<0> Yeah, Walmart ****s bigtime.
<0> They pay such a low wage that you'd have to work two full time jobs there in order to pay basic living expenses.
<1> then they have to the nerve to set prices for the product they buy from the vendors, and if the vendor doesn't like the price, walmart will drive them out of business
<0> I'm busy applying to a company that pays almost as little, to do photo retouching for them.
<0> Nothing like pimpin' my mad skillZ for $8 an hour. :P
<0> Hi Wildblue. :)
<2> Hi SherwoodSpirit
<0> If I had a better printer, I think I would set up a freelance photo retouching biz.
<0> I'm gonna get that printer this year, one way or another.
<1> the epson makes a nice range of 6 color printers cmyk plus light cyan and light magenta, 3-4 of them are under $200
<1> they print on ink jet rated cdr media
<1> nicely too, i might add
<0> I want the Stylus Photo 2200.
<0> And Ooo! It's gone down in price finally.
<0> I've been looking at the refurbs for years for $600.
<1> new model coming out maybe
<0> They're down to $450!
<0> The newer equivalent is the R2400, which is $700 for a refurb.
<0> I'm SO gonna have my printer finally!
<0> :)
<0> My current printer is an Epson R200, which is adequate for day to day use, but utterly inadequate for art printing, or quality photos.
<3> i have the r2400
<0> Do you?
<0> How do you like it?
<0> I'm just reading about it.
<0> Haven't been paying attention to Epson's newer stuff in the last couple years.
<0> I wonder if there's a difference in print quality between the 2200 and the R2400?
<0> One more black cartridge in the R2400...
<1> i'm going to save up my pennies for the epson stylus 3800
<0> I think I'd be perfectly happy with the 2200 for at least a few years.
<1> i have an epson stylus 3000, it's good, but it doesn't have usb
<0> I've wanted a higher quality printer for years that I could make prints of my artwork on demand with.
<0> I could start going to gaming and sci fi conventions and selling my stuff in the art shows again.
<4> I've always wanted such a printer also, to print my artwork and sell it for millions, millions i tell you
<0> The reason I stopped doing it in the first place was the high cost of getting prints made.
<0> I made almost no money after spending huge amounts at a printer.
<0> bakka, hehe
<0> Yes.
<0> MILLIONS!
<4> that proves the say wrong
<0> I'll be rich!
<4> you know the one that says you gotta spend money to make money
<0> heh
<0> Well, if I'd had $2000-$3000 per painting I could have made lithos of each, limited edition and sold them for $40-60 each, hand signed...
<0> But instead, I had to print them as photo prints, non-limited, and sell them for half that to be competetive with the other artists at the cons.
<4> what! 60 each? thats cheap, you gotta aim high
<4> you gotta price it at 200 min.
<0> heh
<4> 200 thousand that is!
<0> The well known staff artists were selling them for that price. I sure as hell wasn't gonna price myself higher than them. :)
<0> I'd never have sold anything.
<4> i've only sold one print of my art
<4> for $40
<0> I've sold tons, but they were cheap prints.
<1> i knew a lady that did fantascy artwork in bastrop, she moved
<0> I used to sell photo prints for about $25 with a mat.
<1> she did a few shows too
<0> But the damned prints cost me over $10 each, because I could never afford to order in quantity.
<1> usually the case
<0> And by the time I paid for mattboard, cut the matts and paid for the artshows, I only made a buck or two on each print.
<0> I've always needed my own printer.
<1> i have a idea, got any of decent quality that can be turned into cross-stitch patterns, i figured out a really cool way to make charts in photoshop
<0> Oh?
<0> heh
<0> I used to do counted cross stitch designs on graph paper.
<0> Holy ****.
<0> Hiya Nelluk. :)
<5> heh
<5> hey :)
<0> Hee.
<5> you're just the person to help me with photoshop!
<0> Oh oh...
<0> hehe
<0> What's up?
<5> im a total n3wb, im trying to understand the color replacement tool, seems like it should be straightforward
<5> but rather than outright replacing the color beneath it with the newly-picked color, it seems to be modifying the color.
<1> i can write out the process, but you know, let's call it a trade secret
<0> Well, you're surrounded by pros here. :)
<0> Nelluk, I haven't used that tool more than once. So I'm not really conversant with it.
<5> image doesnt have any adjustment layers or anything
<0> I colorize stuff with Hue/Saturation a lot tho.
<5> SP: is there a more traditional method to replace all of color X in an image and change it to color Y?
<1> what's the color mode on the image, certain color modes don't work well with all the tools
<5> RGB
<1> that should work
<0> Is there a level of opacity on the layer you're trying to work on that's less than 100%?
<5> my process is, select desired color with eyedropped, select CR tool, change to "sample once.. click on an area containing the bad color, and just start painting.
<5> SP: no
<0> Hmm.
<0> As I recall, Replace Color didn't work for me like I expected it to either.
<5> i like GraphicConverters RC tool better :P
<0> Which is why I just use Hue/Saturation's colorize instead.
<0> I never stopped to investigate what I was doing wrong tho.
<0> Or how I should do it right.
<0> heh
<5> all the web tutorials seem straightforward "just select the color you want and start painting away!"
<0> So many different ways to accomplish things in Photoshop.
<1> that's one of those things i haven't really explored, haven't had to use it yet
<5> is there another easy way to do what i want?
<5> seems like replacing one color in an image with another would be a common task
<1> is the image a photo or something that you created?
<0> Hmm.
<0> What version of PS are you using?
<5> mrs: its something we hired an artist to create for us, a banner for our site
<5> im playing with the CS3 beta
<0> I just opened an image, selected a color and the dialogue box for Replace color has sliders. Moving the Hue slider is changing the color I selected.
<5> oh
<5> that sounds easy enough
<5> ill play that way for a while :P
<0> hehe
<0> Haven't seen ya in a long time. :)
<5> did you abandon #macintosh?
<0> For now.
<0> Probably not forever.
<0> I almost joined yesterday because of the iPhone.
<0> So COOOOL.
<5> yeah, that thing is sweet
<5> even barry likes it
<0> I'm still wiping slobber off my keyboard. :)
<0> Oo. In Replace color, sliding the fuzziness slider to the right widens the selection of replaced color.
<0> heh
<0> I may start using this more often.
<5> what version are you in?
<0> CS2.
<5> hmm
<5> i dont see any sliders in replace color
<5> just stuff like.. mode, sampling, limits
<0> You don't?
<5> you're just select the CR Tool and sliders are appearing?
<0> I'm getting it via Image>Replace Color...
<5> ohhh
<0> Oops. Image>Adjustments>Replace Color...
<0> That is.
