Photoshop Fun - Looking for Feedback on Quality

[lhoy]

Stoneroller, I tried to italicize the latin names (in the correct form) but so far couldn't figure it out in Photoshop. I am one of those who will use any software, but rarely use the help or instructions. ; ) Makes things a lot harder that way, but when you do learn it is finally down.

I will look at the golden ratios. Have never heard of that. Thanks

if you click on the layer(s) with text you can add drop shadows etc (Layer Effects) its a button located on the layers window. Be careful though, you could spend an hour just on the text You could also select>select all, and go to image>adjustments.... there is a ton of cool crap in there picture wise, so if you have a pic that doesnt look 100% natural to the eye, you can adjust the coloration to match what you see. I think the pics do look really awesome though, but I havent seen all that stuff in person to be able to tell what looks totally natural in the pics, and which are offset. I got bored messing with pictures in ps, so now I use it to make digital art, I have a 2x2 image that I have framed in between two pieces of glass to make it look like it's "floating" and the image is 2" from the frame. Well, shoot, ill post the pic of it. Excuse the blue wall, 20k lighting does that to a room! Yeah, I should have ps edited it, but I just wanted to do a quick pic.




I am also on www.deviantart.com my name on there is DeviantDemise
If you guys are not on there, they have contests alot. Some are with non edited pictures, and I think yours would do great, if not win first place.
