Hey Rae!

I'm gonna quote the forum moderator here:

Borderinsanity wrote:All Fic Banners -- Max size allowed is 550 x 500. THIS IS THE MAXIMUM FOLKS!

In order to post the banner you have to upload it at an image hosting service. Example of this is http://www.imagestation.com and http://photobucket.com

When you've uploaded the image, you preferbly right click on the image and choose "Properties..." then you'll get the link to your image. You copy this link and post it in your post like this: [*img]http://www.....[/*img] - without the *

If I'm being unclear in anyway, feel free to pm me

Hey Everyone...I'm new to the banner club, so I had a hopefully quick question. If I have a picture and I just want to take the person out and then post the person to a new image, how would I do that? I have PSP, so if anyone can help or show me where a good tutorial is I would appreciate it. Would I have to manually go through and remove the background, or is there a special short cut to crop just the figue?

I'm afraid there's no easy way to do this , as far as I know. You've either got to use the Lassoo tool (looks like a rope and will be with the marquee tool) or erase away the edges very gently until you get it close. It depends on what effect you want to get in the end. Personally I tend to erase using a small brush for the edges as I'm too impatient with the lassoo tool and get jaggedy and harsh edges but It's a matter of experimenting until you find what fits you.

I haven't been able to find a tutorial as of yet but I'll keep looking. x[/url]

I'm pretty new to this whole... photoshopping thing. I'm learning as I go, right now, the only thing I can really do is make wallpapers, and they never look all that great... but I'm trying. *lol*

I've seen a few different arts, where someone has changed the color of someones eyes, or changed the color of something else... I *believe* that they called it colorization, or something.

Can anyone help me with how to do this?

Thanks in advance!
