Interest/Experience with graphics software: Hobbyist
Operating System: Windows 9x
Corel Photo-Paint: Clear the background of the clipart or image,
then create an object from the subject On other layers (as many
as it takes) I draw the background I choose (using canvas, fill,
spray lists, etc.) then when I'm done, I place the layers in
the appropriate order. At the end, I combine all objects with
background and use the blur tool to finish the image.
What
graphics software do you use on a regular basis?
Corel Photo-Paint, Ulead Gif Animator, MS Photo Editor, IrfranView,
Harm's Tile '99
What
was the first graphics program you learned?
Wasatch System (ancient) - Ulead PhotoPlus (recent)
What
is your all-time favorite graphics program and why?
I like Photo-Paint because I have it. I can't really say it's
my favourite because I haven't tried any others in the same
class. With Photopaint, I can do almost anything I like and
want to do.
How
long have you been working with graphics software?
Since 1989
How
do you use graphics software in your day-to-day activities?
Mostly to illustrate texts I publish on my website Serenidad
and for fun. Those I make for fun, I offer on my website Chez
France... might as well, it's better than letting them «sleep»
on my disks at home. I also create graphics for greetings cards
and I make photo-montages for my grandson's
Web site just for the fun of it. I discovered lately how
to colorize black and white photos and I've been having fun
with this too.
What
is your best graphics tip or piece of advice?
Try... Try... Try... Ask... Ask... Ask... Try... Try... Try...
;o)
Where
do you get your inspiration?
From the texts I write, from photos of family members and friends
and from the personality of the person for whom I am preparing
a greetings card.
Corel Photo-Paint Text tool (Free font: Christian Crosses),
Plugins to get the colors right, Flaming Pear's plugins Primus
and Super Blade Pro. Save all layers as PNG with transparent
background. MS Photo Editor to convert all images from PNG to
GIF (in my experience, it's the best way to get transparent
GIF with less pixels around the image itself). Ulead GIF Animator
to animate the image.
Corel Photo Paint, free font: Hearts by Darrian. I typed the
heart and render as object. Then create a mask from object,
remove holes from mask, reduce mask a little bit, create object
from mask (from the background not from the layer that contains
the text). After that is done, I use all necessary tools to
«decorate» both layers, including plugins like Primus and SBP.
