<2> what are some good photography/photoshop forums?

<3> Googlre
<4> hello, i've a transparent.gif for a css background-image of a div, it's 5x4pixel but i saw it like mmh with a border..
<4> mmm no seems it's a bad render of the 'save for web->Amount'
<4> no idea
<1> how do you select the midtone color shade?
<2> Where do you all get your photoshop tutorials from?
<1> no where
<2> Hrm?
<5> hey... i have a questio
<5> using photoshop cs2
<2> ok.
<5> ok i made something... and i save it as a jpeg
<5> but its really big
<5> i just want it to be smaller... not a big 8X11 thing
<2> sweet, you have a ? but won't ask it!
<5> i did ask it
<5> how do i make it smaller
<2> ok
<2> image -> image size
<5> is that when i save it?
<5> ahh never mind
<5> ok thanks
<5> ok so i want to make it about a medium size... what would be a good pixel ranger
<5> right now its 1920 and 2560
<5> thats way to big
<4> nite
<6> hello
<6> i often hear that selecting anything higher than 300dpi for inkjet is senseless. what do you think; is that true?
<3> i work in 360 as a standard but not sure how much of an overkill that is in terms of your question. 220 is a good sized res for prosumer inkjets i would think
<6> but why do inkjets then have to many dpis in their specs? like 1440 etc
<3> because the consumer demands that the next model be higher then the current one
<3> that isn't a direct translation
<3> of dpi
<3> no printer could print at 1440
<6> the the inkjet spec dpi is different from the "300 dpi thing"
<6> ?
<3> yeah
<6> is this because of dithering maybe?
<3> i don't know loads about printers, most of my work is display based
<3> possibly - all i know is when a printer manufacture displays DPI they for the most part are not referring to what DPI actually should be referred to as
<6> i hate it when they do this =)
<3> i would say it is a made up spec to help sell models
<6> confusing the consumer
<3> yeah thats the goal
<3> the more the consumer is confused the better chance they have of selling them a product
<3> when you know what you are talking about the reseller gets nervous
<3> it is really funny to watch
<6> yep :)
<3> their manual of key phrases and big technical words floats out the door and they are left with their pants down
<3> are you printing on a home computer?
<6> yes, im having a epson stylus photo 895ex
<3> ah ok
<6> i recently got a newsletter from my noname-ink-seller that told me epson is starting to sue all noname producers for stopping their activity. did you also hear about that?
<3> well if your computer is capable then i would work at 300+ for anything photo based
<3> nope, i don't really deal in print so not savvy on the goss
<3> i use photoshop to build textures for film so my work never goes higher then HD
<3> most of the ops do loads of print stuff
<3> hang around and ask them
<6> textures for film, that sounds quiet interesting!
<3> lots of fun!
<6> small commercials etc or something i could know of?
<3> ha i wish it was something you know of - i'm really knew only just finished uni so my work is very local
<3> the biggest thing i have worked on is still in progress for CSIRO which is a research facility in Australia where i'm building a visualisation of HyShot. Yuo guys would knows this as the SCRAM jet
<3> the US military are testing RAM/SCRAM jets at the moment so you may have seen stuff on your local media stations
<3> we are working with them (sort of)
<6> is photoshop your main tool at work or just a part of several others?
<3> part of
<6> nope i dont have much information about us military (except their actions in iraq ;-)
<3> Maya is the 3d app which imports all the CAD data from the engineers, Photoshop builds the textures and Matte back drops, Fusion is the compositor for live action and Liquid Silver is the edit suite
<6> do you use photoshop at home as a hobby too, for retouch, art or something like this?
<3> yeah
<3> that's how i got started ;)
<3> I realy enjoy photo manipuation so PS is the main tool for that
<3> i haven't done much retouching though
<3> you?
<3> is that what you do
<6> oh im using PS as a hobby and mainly retouch
<6> just for fun
<3> well it is rewarding ;)
<6> hehe id like to get money for playing with photoshop, but i doubt anyone would pay me hehe
<3> i wouldn't say that
<3> ..you spend enough time in it and build up a portfolio no reason why not
<3> however you may find it difficult to only get Photoshop work. Normally it is bundled with something else. If you are keen on print then you should at Illustrator as well
<6> apropos portfolio, do you have a website where one (me) could take a look at your work in ps?
<3> if you can use those two well you won't have any issues find work (Perhaps InDesign as well)
<3> nope, i'm learning the web stuff now so i can put mine up
<3> working through some Flash tutorials at the moment!
<3> this web stuff is fairly new ot me
<6> yeah flash sites are en vogue it seems. but to be honest, i find those inflationary and stressing to surf on
<6> i like the new "borderless" style with css. looks cl***y and is great to surf on
<3> http://www.pumarunning.com
<3> really impressed with the flash there
<3> yeah Flash can be more of a hindrance then a benefit if used incorrectly. However, like anything it should be used in moderation
<6> thats a good example! my opinion is that atm, most people are in awe and say WOW, cool, neato etc, but when they get used to all the flashes and blinking and sounds and lesflare and moving, they are getting bored and annoying by how bad the navigation on those sites are =)
<6> if you wanna see the new shoes from puma, you must spend 5minutes searching for them
<3> yeah well you hit the nail on the head - navigation is a key factor in any web development
<3> it can be a problem for peeps on slow connections but the way the net is moving msot sites are removing the straight html option because the majority of either consumers in general or specifically their target market are high bandwidth users
<3> most
<6> but youre right, flash is a great thing. i just wished people would use it more wisely, that means only use it when it benefits the users. for example replacing aniGIF etc. but not composing a whole site
<3> haha not much choice there - a few of my collegues are developing fully headmounted interactive rich websites for lack of a better term
<3> VR capable
<3> i'm looking forward at seeing a prototype
<7> Hey, I'm trying to get an idea of how much RAM I should get for Photoshop to run entirely smooth
<7> I have 1GB Dual Channel in right now, and tried to explode PS with a 150mb PSD, scratching on it, duplicating a large layer 20 times, what not
<7> efficiency gives me around 60-70% on heavy stuff, 100% most of the time
<7> Am I safe to ***ume that another 1GB RAM would be overkill?
<7> (images with MANY layers give 20-30% eff, which is why I'm considering it, but not using 100+ layers might work too, heh)
<3> if you have the finances then i'd get another
<3> 2GB is a good amount for most stuff
<3> when you get into large photo qual canvas's you should look at more
<3> i run 2GB and work on files up to GB (which struggles) and is my limit before work is really compromised
<8> i need banner
<8> pay mucho grande cash for difference gradient, twirl and color adjust + text
<8> :D
<8> Bangkok
<9> anyone else have problems with ps cs2 with a big screen? selections not showing up, and updates not showing? Im running 1920x1200
<8> my photoshop made a graphic says "hey **** you guy!" and then closes.
<9> must be you then..
<8> Actually man, not had any problems...
<8> But that seems like a pretty high res, can your machine handle it?
<9> everyting else runs fine
<9> even got 2gb ram in this laptop
<9> can't even printscrn and paste into photoshop
<10> _Psych0_, only problem ive had with high res is filters not working... how about reducing the dpi?
<11> mornin
<12> mornin
<11> sup k
<12> it's monday :P
<13> hi
<13> does ps cs2 support anim gif ?
<11> imageready does
<13> ps2 also i just noticed
<13> ps cs2 i mean
<13> but
<11> yes, but they are meant to be built in IR
<13> whats the animation pallette doing in ps then ?
<11> they prob just put the code in both
<13> code ?
<13> what code
<11> ummmm
<11> you do know that PS is just a program made up of code, correct?
<13> yes
<11> and that there is a block of or blocks of code that make up the animation palette
<11> well, its very common to just share code
<11> I just dont use ps to create gif89a
