I wanted to gauge my photoshop skills (read: what I remember) at this point and so I guess I made a banner. It's all dressed up in Asian banner style; I tried at least. Do you guys like this format more or what?

Looks great, I would use it "as it" for a siggy but if it's a pic for the top banner of the forums then yes you need to use taller font size, at least for the game's name. Also the font you use is nice for userbars (*cough*

) but maybe try for something more exotic...

Shit loads of free fonts available here http://www.highfonts.com/freealpha.asp?bok=A&f=0

Even more 1337 would be to use precisely the original font of SoaSE, IE :

Well I've just emailed you the .psp file with transparent background, check your msn hotmail box. Let me know if you need something else

PS you should make the TFL logo more visible, I mean dont use use "hue" or "soft light" or whatever mod you used for the layer, don't fade it.

Thanks for input guys.

I'm still at a loss for the full TFL text, I kind of like the userbar text but then it's too small. And it only works at certain intervals, that beng the smallest and the next size being almost half the signature. I'll still scope out for cool font for it (thanks for link inR).

edit: Btw inR, I don't have a transparency of the TFL logo with white lines. I see on your siggy it's white - the only way I got this transparent logo was through a blend mode that kills white. Doesn't work the other way around though. I might find a way to do it, but do you have a transparent white?

And I don't have paintshoppro, I have photoshop.

i think that small sins text or large tfl but i would like to see the TFL easier...
thats just my opinion though... i will try to create a banner if i get any spare time

Yay looks great, I think your banner is pretty nice like that, not sure you should change anything anymore about "TFL" logo&font... dunno

Oki, I can send you a white version but, transforming a simple object from white>black or black>white is something pretty easy to do : Negative image.
That's what I use in PSP, I am pretty sure you have the same possibility in Photoshop. Any Black&White picture you apply that effect simply becomes White&Black

It just takes one click and poof here's the reversed image.
Hope you get my point and find it in Photoshop otherwise let me know and I'll send you a white one

You dont have PainShopPro but Photoshop can read .psp files right ? confirm it to me as I am not sure 100%, if not I will convert my files to .psd format.

The file you sent me through the mail was incompatible; the newer versions probably support it but I only have Photoshop7.

Anyways, I can't do that. There is white surrounding the logo, and in order to make that "disappear" I need to do a blending mode called "multiply". It's great for completely black/white pictures, because all the white becomes transparent. However if I reverse the colors, then the TFL will become white and the background black, then I get a big black-ness with a transparent logo.

I don't know how you do it but that's my way. It's very clean, but very limited.

edit: I think I'll have to stay with the userbar text, nothing else really works well considering the space I have. I guess that's poor micromanagement on my part, though.

Sorry Inert, I'm slow, I'll convert the files to .psp and email it to you very soon. I'll take a look about the TFL font and make some more advanced suggestions.
