So Adobe Elements is easier to use first for beginners like me?

I love the banner. You've made it so festive. I am trying to remember if that's an actual scene with both of them and where/when or if you tweaked it. But love the colors...

I will definitely practice when I get it. I hope to contribute to the McSwarek Advent Calendar 2012. I might need some input from all of you. I hear Photoshop is very difficult to learn so I want to take a class on that.

I edited my earlier post about your talent. :wink:
i mostly taught myself how to use PS - I used to design websites and do some graphic design but that was awhile ago. there's a bunch of online videos and other how-tos for PS.

One program that is similar to PS and free is Paint.net - similar layers etc ideas.

Also I use Picasa from Google for some of my graphic stuff - they have a collage function that only higher end programs have.

Elements is good too.

OOOH, thank you for letting me know about Paint.net. I am going to look into that first (since it's free) to see if I am even good at this sort of thing.

Paint.net is a little confusing at first, but it gets the job done anyway. Good luck! :D I'm considering making something but I haven't created any kind of artwork in like over a year. I don't know if I'd remember how. haha

I think so, yes...I remember that for me the switch from Adobe Elements to Photoshop wasn't that difficult and I also found a few good tutorials on LJ that helped me a lot.

aw, glad you like it! :hug: it's an actual scene from ep2 of s2...quite at the end of it :-)


@sillygyrl8
cool, thanks!
and definitely :YAY: for more ideas, hope you'll find the pic you are looking for!
I am using this screencap gallery for my rb graphic stuff Rookie Blue HQ screencaps...unfortunately there are no HQ caps for ep. 6,7,8,11 :sad:

One thing I'd really suggest to anyone is getting some good textures to work with. Once you have some, you can change the entire look of your artwork.

The official banner is gorgeous! I can't wait to see what everyone sends. I'm clueless about using photo editing software beyond the mere basics, and I'm just not feeling any kind of holiday fic. But if you're short videos, feel free to use the latest version of my I want candy video. Since Advent calendars are traditionally based on a daily candy treat, I guess that could loosely be considered a Christmas theme. But only if you're short items cuz it's not really any new treat for anyone, around here at least. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhD6zDBJzsc

The picture of the scene is from the end of episode 2, season 2. Sam tell's her how she did a good job with the UC op and she replies "Just stuck with it. The way I was taught."


I love the banner. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
