I know it's nothing special, but I've never used Photoshop.

If only I knew how to do more stuff, I'd spruce it up a bit.

Are you kidding? You should see some of our first attempts!

You did a great job on this.

If you have questions, post them here. We've got a very talented and helpful group of folks back here in the Image Dungeon.

Welcome to the club. Very good first effort :D

I was actually pleased with it, for a first created pic and all (Spent entirely too much time on it though!). But after seeing some of the stuff in here, I got a quick reality check.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Photoshop CS is hella confusing, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

I never did figure out a way to change a white background into a transparent background, but someone on here mentioned a polygonal lasso tool, which seems to do the job. Kinda tedious. Is there a better way?

Well yeah, you have to trace around the object and "cut" it out of the picture and then paste in onto a transparent background.

There are many good tips if you google search.

Keep working at it...we've seen some people come a LONG way. And as I said, everyone here is always willing to help.

I think it is pretty darn good for a first attempt.

The lines are clean and the image overall looks clean.

All the "bells and whistles" will come later when you get used to it and learn new tricks.

Alright, last revision I think. I didn't like the blue one so much either after awhile. I think this one looks pretty sharp, for a newb.

I couldn't figure out how to change it, so I used brute force. Deleted the layer, and remade it. Changed the font size, and I also used all caps this time. The "Dallas Cowboys" definitely looks better this way, imo.

A quickie. This Photoshop stuff is addicting, even if I'm not that well versed in it yet.

I have a question. Let's say someone, not me of course, wanted to download Eye Candy (the full one), anyone know where that person would go? PM me if you can be of assistance.

I like your new sig nice affect. Eye candy try a PM to Jacs. You can search online for it but those sites are filled with spyware/adware,and yes it is addicting :D
