Those are great. April every time you do a manip it makes me want to do one. lol.

Image This one was orignialy a manip of Tess and Liz but the Liz side turned out so bad I just cut it out. lol maybe I'll try again.
Image I just made this manip to go with my WP. I think it might be the best one I ever did. Warning for hugeness.

Image I really like the way this one turned out. I call it katcheup and mustard. lol.

And now I'm going to work.

Flawless, chunkmonster. :)

I took a TV guide cover and made manips for the 3 blondes. I'm not quite satisfied with the Isabel one but I think Tess and Maria turned out good. They're sort of geared towards my next fic, 522.

And I'm not sure what this is, but I kind of like it:

I love that April!!
It looked like a comic-strip when I first looked....
I think they all look perfect as well..... but I know what it's
like to not be entirely happy with the outcome -- but it's definitely amazing

And I have to agree with Chad on the last one... there is def something haunting
about it... That was the perfect word... it's very good. I need personal lessons from
the both of you... I need to learn how to do manip's like those!!

Okay I am back again already....
I wanted to try a manip like ya'll do with putting the face onto another body...
Here is my first attempt ever... so give me a lil slack lol :P
but if anyone has any suggestions send them this way cause I really wanna learn

What programs do you use April and Chad?

Image
I know it is sorta like barbie doll Liz... but I really didn't put too much thought into the
image I was merging onto cause it was first attempt.... something looks funny too and
I just cant figure it out... is her face to big for the head or something?

chunkmoster, your first attempt is a lot better than my first attempt was.

I've been using Photoshop for all my artwork. :)

Ditto chunkmonster. My first manip was...yikesish. lol If I recall it was a manip of Max and Dick Tracey. lol

Anyway to answer your question, I use three programs. GIMP, Photoshop. and another free Image manipulation program called PhotoFiltre. I started out using photofiltre, then GIMP. then photofiltre and GIMP, then moved to CS2. But to tell you the truth, I only switched to photoshop because I got a student discount on it for taking a class. All of the banners I've done this year have been made using GIMP because I got a new computer and just never got around to putting CS2 on it.

GIMP is awesome. Almost everything you can do on photoshop can also be done on GIMP, it just may requirer an extra step or two.

PhotoFiltre is a very basic program that does not involve layers or anything fancy, but you can still do some awesome stuff with it. The main reason I still use it is because it was the first IMP I ever used and I'm pretty fine tuned with it and can do some stuff on it quicker and easier than I can do them on GIMP or CS2. Like manips for instance. For manips I use a Combo of Photofiltre and GIMP. Photo Flitre to do the actual manip and GIMP to clean it up.

If you're interested in some GIMP tutorials try here: http://www.gimptalk.com/
Or try searching for tuts on Live Journal. There are a ton of them, and lots of people that can use GIMP just as well as some can use photoshop. Also, some photoshop tuts translate pretty well to GIMP as well.

And if you want to check out Photo Filtre you can download it for free here. http://photofiltre.free.fr/download_en.htm

And there are some basic tutorials and downloads on their main websight here: http://photofiltre.free.fr/

Good luck. But I think you're already well on your way.
