paint.net

this is a pretty useful tool i got off HH if u wanna have a more-than-basic art tool and u dont wanna pay for photoshop

www.paint.net

theres a good few tutorials there on how to use it(its so good u can turn dry, cracked dirt into a popping planet )

Nice! I have been wanting photoshop for a while I will give this a try instead of wasting money for it!

You can download the 30 day trial of Photoshop CS3 if you want. Here is the link to download it:

I downloaded it a couple of days ago, it's actually pretty good and you won't ever need to buy it. When the 30 days run out, download it again.

I have that, that and HP image zone for cropping... Works well indeed, and one other thing to add:

Why is this section named 'Turtorials'? Are turtles involved somehow?? Now really...

well, heres a turtle i made before i got the paint.net thingy

i made it using the basic paint tool u get with all comps

its actually a terrapin but terrapins, turtles and tortoises are all pretty much the same



and heres a different version of it



XD

Well so far I am having trouble with it but only cause I know nothing about it. I have been reading the tutorials and found some neat ideas but really complicated. And second can someone tell me how to completly fill a layer? I can't seem to find basic tut's only the more complex ones.

I've never tried that, I'm just cropping and adding words lol.... well, I'm a technical buffoon :

can anybody show me how to make a sig with a smudge background(its called smudge,it use brush of diff size something like that),using pics from web or SS,animation and how to do a border...all this in one sig tutorial. Thanks,i swear i'll give u the rights to have my FL weps all of it and some share to my FL credits.(i be leaving void in a few weeks time coz of me national service,so idk if i be able to play void)....Juz cant find one tuts simple enaf for me to understand using the Photoshop CS3 trial version...

ps im using that Photoshop CS3 trial version

@Kevlar that would be tough.
U could search for these tuts on the net,there are many sites.
Not to forget u can get the photoshop brushes etc. from there for free.

if u could tell me what kind of sig u exactly want,i think i can nick it from some place or the other.

those plug-ins even work wif the trial version too? i thought they wont. my kinda sig would be like something similar like watchwolf did for me except it got some border like kahless also like trin's sig it got some cool rain effect...

Ummmmm don't know if you guys know about this yet but this software ROCKS considering it's free. Pretty much Photoshop but lacking in some areas. www.gimp.org in case anyone is still looking
