| @ SMILE If blend you mean add more tone or shade to it? You can always add more layers with darker shades   |

| What's an easy way to create an image with a transparent background? I forgot how to do this, so I need someone to help remind me. I save an image with transparent setting already on. I also hid the background layer and I also changed the Opacity and Fill but the result is still the same when I'm about to save it. I can't believe i forgot somethin' as simple as this but I did only read about it; I never tried it before though. *awaits answer*   ------- |

| Ich:: First time doing it was pretty easy though next time or even now, I might try to do the same thing, just not using Gendou.com's cyan color but using the original anime's color. Oh, and I'm not sure how I made it. I just looked at other members avatar, and was like "whatever, here I go!"   ------- |

| @DA: you should save it in .PNG format Q: How can I color effectively using brushes? | 
| 
					Re: Photoshop Question and Answer thread
				 | 
| @ DA Yeah, PNG format, it has transparency feature... The background is transparent, but it was created through FLASH :| @ SMILE what exactly do you mean by effectively? :3 you mean shading? If that is it then try setting your upper layers into "Multiply" for darker blending or "Screen" for highlights.   |

| pngs are only an advantage for images with the transparent attribute because they have a large file size X3     m y . L i F E . i . t r a d e . i n . f o r . y o u r . P A i N . |

| Yep and PNGs compress bigger sizes to small, one of my personal favorite features X3   |

TT__TT    here's one i made waaay back when i was 13 TT__TT  it's a GIF though~ the PNG was made because GIFs had limited color palettes TT___TT **you can notice the difference because of the white outlines** i seem to get worse as i grow. TT________TT @ smile: real paint? i think it comes with the brush~ i THiNK,, i'm sorry TT_____TT     m y . L i F E . i . t r a d e . i n . f o r . y o u r . P A i N . |

| something like digital painting | 
| 
					Re: Photoshop Question and Answer thread
				 | 
| @ SMILE real paint? You mean by the use of watercolors? Can you provide examples? :3 The ones that looked as if it was watercolored have that kind of brush on OpenCanvas, I have that program and it has various brushes like airbrush, watercolor, poster paint which gives advantages to your work. There are many types of digital painting: Softshading, Celshading, etc... @ Rin Waaoh~! Hey, question, how do you set up the transparency on a png file anyway? :| I'm always confuzzled at that.   |

| @ imp: what do you mean the transparency? :o ang alam ko lang pde lang na opacity ish 100% or 0% XD @ smile: oh yeh, for textured styled painting... i have programs like corel photo paint and jasc paint shop pro for that. digital painting? you mean like CGing?~ smudging and re-coloring usually covers it.     m y .
