At least it's on video.

Anything else you'd like to learn?

Your tutorials haven't helped me nearly as much as they did with factions for Leaderhead Editing. I think it'd be a cool skill to have, and useful for factions.
So basically, I'd like to learn to PhotoShop and image in GIMP. (GIMPing isn't a thing yet, I believe)

I'm the goshdarn BatUncle!

Like shooping photos?

[Flux]

Yeah, I do like to 'shoop photos. And my earlier... attempt was super crappy compared to yours.
Your edits, gonna point out the talents, actually make them look like they're wearing headsets/glasses/crowns. The only part I got right IMO is the crown. And thats just a white line with minor blurring on the edges.

[Buster's Uncle]

Hmmm.  I've never thought about it in a systematic way - but some basic observations would be that you gotta think about where the light's coming from, and thus, which way the shadows fall - photos are higher rez than anything you can draw, so copy/pasting tiny bits to fill in gaps is essential - and the very edges of a figure blends ever so slightly with the background, so mastery of the Smudge tool is going to be needed.

If you presented something you wanted to alter in a specific way, I could probably tell you more.  We do that enough times, and you'll get it licked.  You've demonstrated that...

[Flux]

Since I'd hate to kill the bad pap crap innocence here, I'll find something else. Just one issue - I'm going to the craptop for a couple days tomorrow.
Going to delete the gimp folder and probably reinstall it manually, then maybe it'll work.

[Flux]

This is the most basic thing I could find. Would make a nice learning template.

But probably too easy.

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay, do what to it?

What you did to Gwilly's avatar.
I want to make it look like a talent from SMAC.

[Buster's Uncle]

You'll need a headset to paste in...

[Flux]

If I'm not mistaken, the Talent headset is white. But this is just practice anyway.
?

[Buster's Uncle]

I don't know what you need me for...
