Well today I found a photoshop CD so I installed it... So I decided to mess around with it because I always have to find a graphics artist to make me login screens and whatnot so I decided to mess around with it. With the help of Keeth and Tiberath I started to learn and get better each picture and figured out some amazing things...

So you can be the judge of this for a first time person at photoshop

This was used in the image


And I created this:


My personal opinion is that I didn't do too bad, but whats yours?

This is probably going to be harsh. But you just cut around him layer optioned-Outlined him with a thick yellow border. BG looks like noise with motion blur filter and text then a layer of hue or image-attributes-hue.

I can't really remember my first photoshop use. I think it was coloring a drawing. I guess it's not bad but I wouldn't recommend just filtering things and changing the color, etc.

Sorry if I came out harsh.

edit:Oh yeah. And you say you don't want your CSS ripped yet you're hosting the images publicly to your right, you realize that, right? <_<

Right now all I need is honest opinions, which in your case you gave me a lot to think about. Yeah I did use a filter, I'm trying to learn how to make various effects such as a scraped background and whatnot, This just happened because I was just messing around with it but you're right I did just cut the image out and pasted it and blended it in.

Oh by the way. Seeing you're new to photoshop (And I think the first thing a lot of people wanna do is fun cool things)

That's more photo manipulations but it'll teach you when to use filters and how to do things that could help in the future.

Thank you, I really appreciate the help and those are very interesting to do, I already did a glass type surface with a ball :)
