--- Quote from: Howard_Casto on March 28, 2003, 08:18:42 pm ---The reason I suggested switching to photoshop? Because psp can't handle color adjustments nor, cymk pallettes as well. Since 90% of the images out there are rgb, you will undoubtedly have to do at least some color adjustment during the conversion. When I say something like that, it's for a reason. :P --- End quote --- HUH? I wasn't talking about PSP..i was talking in general. Personally, I use Photoshop. I have no idea what you are trying to say. I have printed at kinkos with all types of formats. I never had to make them CMYK. That's what I was saying...nothing to do with the program of choice... :o Suggestion: talk to your Kinkos. Ask them what formats they accept. Then go from there. I do know that every Kinkos is different. They all have different setups and computers. Best of luck to you. ;) |

Thanks, ~Mrbond --- End quote --- My Cp overlay cost $21 to print on Vinyl. It came with an adhesive backing. (27" x 15") Kinko's gave me no copyright problem with printing a Spiderman and Venom image(Thanks Snaake ;D). They also got it the correct size on the 1st try. ;D (I must be lucky from what I read though!_ |

Fair deal. |

Paintshop Pro isn't so bad really. Photoshop is horribly expensive and takes alot of skill to use properly so it shouldn't be recommended to everyone. At the end of the day it comes down to how artistic you are. Most of the "marquees" I see on MAME cabinets in general are just horrible. Cut and pasting a load of screenshots is never going to get you a professional look. When I get the money together I'm going to either opt for generic stencil art or adapt an existing commercial one. The space theme of something like Atari Quantum could look good on any machine. Pasting a load of sprites from different games together that don't match is going to give you a rubbish result. If you want to go down that route you need to pixel original artwork. The people at Pixelation Forums could teach you how to do it yourself or there are people who would create artwork for a reasonable fee. Check out Army of Trolls. That's how to do game graphics. When I get my cabinet finished I wouldn't be completely against paying someone a few hundred pounds to do a side art. When the PC, cabinet and montor cost so much it isn't an unreasonable investment. I'm thinking a Space Harrier/Outrun/Hang-On theme on one side and a Golden Axe/Altered Beast/ShadowDancer one on the other. That would be a dream come true. |
