Raven Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) How long are you going to wait? When this is done what's going to happen with it? As long as I need to, haha. I was thinking maybe we can aim for 100 bricks. It's definitely possible. How long are you going to wait? When this is done what's going to happen with it? Forum skin. Actually, I kinda like that idea, but it would have to be a lot of bricks. O_o I'll try to make one as well, but first I have to figure out how to do so. ;____; If you're really stuck, you can ask me someone to make one for you. 1. Open photoshop 2. New blank file. Make the size 100x50 pixels. 3. Drag and drop/resize picture/background of choice. 4. Type your name with text tool. 5. Save/upload. Or you can follow this foolproof guide, but use any image editing program. I personally use PAINT.NET. Free to download - just Google it. You could use something simple like MS Paint for these as well. Or even this.Which reminds me, when are you going to submit one Vincent? Haha... Basically, it can have anything on it you like. Someone can submit a plain 100x50 tile and call it theirs, but that would just be boring and pretty pointless. Don't do that.

DragonBladeSniper Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Or you can follow this foolproof guide, but use any image editing program. I personally use PAINT.NET. Free to download - just Google it. Really? I didn't think anybody would use that to. XD As other people said, take a picture, take a part of it out, copy it, make a new page, paste the image, add your name and make sure it's EXACTLY 100x50 pixels. It usually says if it is.

Phoenix Wright Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 How do I select part of an image? I think it's called cropping... I want to edit mine, but when I put it in, it selects a part of the image that is basically useless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I downloaded that yesterday night. XD Great - Now... 1. Install and open the program. Go to "File", then "New...". Width: 100 Height: 50, click "OK". There is your basic brick. 2. If the image you want to use for the brick is directly from the internet, right click the image then "Copy Image". Then on Paint.net, go to "File" then "New..." again, then just click on "OK", not changing anything. It will open a new tab, keeping your 100x50 brick in te first tab. Hold your Ctrl button and press V. The image you copied will appear. If the image you want to use for the brick is saved onto your hard drive, go to "File" then "Open..." and select your image. It will open in a new tab. 3. On your image, hold Ctrl and press A, then C. That has copied your image. Open the tab which has the 100x50 space in it. Hold Ctrl and press V. Click "Keep canvas size". Move the image around in the brick until the part of the image you want to be in the brick is in view. If the image is too large, then go back to the image you opened, and resize it - Go to "Image" then "Resize...". "By absolute size": make sure the "Maintain aspect ratio" box is ticked. When sorted, click "OK". It'll resize the image. Go back to the top of this paragraph (3.1). Repeat until happy. 4. If you want a border, you can easily make one using the available tools. If you want text, you can easily make some using the Text tool. Once you're happy with your brick, save it (make sure it's .png, not .jpeg or something like that). Then upload it. Then post it here and I'll do the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux Aeterna Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The guide helped. ^^ The only thing that didn't work out was the resizing. I did it in the image, but when copied, nothing came. Oh well, an eye-shot works, too. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonBladeSniper Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hey I was wondering, how are you dividing it? Because the wall looks weird right now and all. Why not put them all right next to each other? (bump) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hey I was wondering, how are you dividing it? Because the wall looks weird right now and all. Why not put them all right next to each other? (bump) I see. I actually made the wall like that so it would look like a proper brick wall. I'll see what it's like when even.

Grace Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I just made a brick for the wall. Ignore the gray border, I think that's just the forums doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
