What version of Photoshop does everyone have?
<< < (3/6) > >>

I use Photoshop for the design and the layout.  One nice feature of Photoshop is that it can import Illustrator files (like you find at localarcade.com).  On AI imports, though, you typically need to adjust the shadow levels to get the right color; it shifts for some reason.

PS makes a very nice grid.  There are two steps.  First go to VIES-SHOW-GRID.  Then in preferences you can set up the grid to make a line however you want.  In my example below (click to enlarge or save to your computer for full-size) you would enter a value of grid every 1 inch with 8 subdivisions to have a 1 inch grid with smaller lines at every 1/8 inch.

Great input! Now, where is the best place to get software at deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deeeeeep discounts?  ;D

you could always go the "high speed discount" route.

yup...the "five finger discount" has evolved into the technology age.

I DON'T CONDONE STEALING!

Do as i say, not as i do! :)

I use CS 2 but only as I make skins for ef2 and half life 2, yes it is expensive to buy the new all singing and dancing version , for most people version 7 is all they need.

It's all about the guides.  You can set horizontal/vertical guides anywhere on the image, then snap to them.

In case anyone is wondering, my workflow goes like this:  I usually do cabinet/CP design in AutoCAD, then print it to the appropriate scale to a PDF file, then import that into Photoshop.    Yes, I realize that it's kind of bass ackwards and old school, but then again so am I.  It works for me and all that really matters is the end result.
