Helions Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 i'm a digital photographer so i've had a lot of experience with graphics programs...i started out with photoshop 3.0...haha, that was way back in the day! anyone try photoshop cs3 beta yet? i've used cs2 for a long time, and cs3 is such a refreshing change. the magic wand was great in the past photoshops, but in cs3 there is a new selection tool that works so nicely...theyll start shipping the finished version within a month or two so i suggest you guys get it... the black and white conversion in cs3 is really nice too... also, adobe lightroom started shipping out this past month...i've tried it and it's a great little program for graphics editing.

Thinking about Photoshop for a while just wondered what the magic wand tool does? the magic wand is a selection tool used to select a specific part of a picture...for example, click inside a person's face and if the colors are similar, it'll select the whole face for you...you can then do what you want with the face, but leave the rest of the picture alone...there's a lot more you can do with the magic wand, but that's the basic use of it...

battlelands Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 GIMP, Terragen, Paint, Irfanview will do just fine for me. Also Fireworks is not same as Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helions Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Sorry about that. I edited it. I meant to type macromedia fireworks but mistakingly typed firefox. So anyways can you help me out? How do you fade one image into another image in fireworks? are you talking about animating it to make one image fade into the other? or to layer one of the images on top of the other?

Maxdamantus Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I think he means one picture gradiating into another picture in one frame, like gradient colours, but with images. I have an idea.. Try making a square, which is gradient. On the left, it has white (#FFFFFF) at 100% transparency. On the right, it has white with 0% transparency. Turn this shape into a mask over another image, and you should have one image fading into transparency. Then put another image underneath it. Theoretically, this should work. Havn't tried it though, just thought it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 is fireworks similiar to photoshop? Or what exactly is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxdamantus Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Fireworks is all based on vectors (Supports bitmaps too), you can create pictures easily in Fireworks. Photoshop is mainly used for compiling pictures, adding affects, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
