Hello! I didn't know where to put this, couldn't find any n00b forum. :P Anyway, I'm trying to polish a logo I made long time ago for my virtual football club. I'd like to make it in silver, like a medal or pendant (hope you get me). Which colors should I use for highlights, mid, shadow? Do you think it's too much for a n00b like me? Any advice is much apreciated. Thanks! |

http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4897 - This should help you. The key to making realistic metallic surfaces is using a palette with high contrast. Also, the Resources and Support forum would've been better for this. Moved :) |

I need some help. I'm trying to make a 195x195px circle around whole image. Is there some special way of doing circles this size? Thanks. |

One could try the circle tool. One could also fill the pixels where the equation (x²)+(y²)=195 is true, given that the image is the cartesian plane and the origin is the center of the image. ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

| I went with the circle tool. :/ I also realized that 195x195 is probably no go, now I'm on 192x192. |

This is my WIP. Please tell me what you guys think of it? Is it any worth, am I on the right track? Can you guess what kind of a cat it is? Hehe.   I have another question. How can one go about adding curved text? Guess I should use the text tool and clean those letters. My question is, should I put text on curve right away or do I make straight line of text and then cut/paste/rotate letters?Thanks! |

I'd rather recomend a Vector based image editor for that etc, will save you a lot of time, not to mention will be a better result. ------------- I ate leel's babies |
