Hey, my name is Sean, I happened across this site yesterday at work and decided to join. I have submitted my first entry under the Friendly Horse. I am a Graphic Designer by trade, but seeing the entries here, WOW you guys rock! I hope to be able to keep up with you all! I also do photography in my 'vast' spare time when im not with my two kids so anyway, thank you photoshopcontest.com for giving me an outlet to keep my arse busy at work! I look forward to seeing all the awesome entrys here and submitting my own warped sense of reality!
Later on!

Make yourself at home.

Good to see Chicago represented again.

hi and welcome!! your gonna have soo much fun!

I can imagine what he's thinking looking at your avatar!

Welcome, shaman! remember, the amount of fun you have depends on you!

HAHA!! thanks for the welcome!

Hey there. Can't wait to see more entries from you! If you really wanna have a good time then buy an Advantage subscription! It's money well spent (IMHO).

Now if only I could get a "Creativity" or "Better Skill" upgrade I'd be set!

Welcome Mr. TheShaman.

Say goodbye to your spare time.

(Cute kid, good work)

perfect! ive got plenty of spare time lately!

hi and welcome have lots of fun

Nice to meet ya Dude.
Looks like your having fun w/ yer chops alrady...
keep it that way

ok this site is VERY addictive lol....
a question for YerPalAl...

i was going through the tutorials and saw the 'Making Snow" one.
then i get to
"Now to the snow. Use Filters>Pixelate>Mezzotint>Coarse Dots. (The falling snow we see is close to our viewpoint) and execute.


Now I expand the mezzotinted box across my picture and go..."

i must be having a blonde moment, how do i expand the selection? geez ive only been using ps forever i should know this!

if Al doesnt come back any help would be appreciated
thanks
Sean

Al is very busy with work and SHIV but will be in shortly to field any questions regarding his tutorial. In the mean time, might I suggest trying command-T on a mac, or something else on a PC. This will give you anchor points around your selection.

edit-->transform.

Al will be in soon.

thanks! i will try this! (EDIT) THIS is what i was looking for!!!!

damn this site rocks!!! Thanks everyone again for the warm welcome!
hope everyone (who celebrates it) has a great Labor day!
