it may be the easiest, but it gives the graphic a touch of noobism.

A "touch?"

there not shitty. but when u get so complicated with the plugin the graphic starts to look like u just threw it together without any kind of learning curve.

just don't give up.
also look at www.good-tutorials.com for ur tuts. its a huge community with a shit load of tuts.

The best advice i can give you is to learn your way around ps first. Figure out what everything does, then learn the most effecient way of doing things. I make all of my stuff in interface stye. Interface is a futeristic, metallic style. In my oppinion one of the hardest styles, because you basically hafta DRAW your stuff.

Also try to stay away from "abstract" and "grundge," two VERY overused styles. Try to be unique. For example, LostBoyz's pieces all have a sureallistic effect to them. It's what makes him...well him.

Now, about filters. filters are there for a purpose, most filters are geared towards photomanip and should not be used as a background, or in a signature, unless its a photomanip. There ARE some exceptions tho. For example: Blur: one of my most widely used filters, i love it, especially "gassain blur."

I can help you get started, although im not around here much anymore, I still can help you on AIM or over MSN. I prefer AIM tho.

b15ginz= thanks for that site

and ya they are pretty shitty now that i know a lil more about what im doing

llwahooll= ya i started screwing around with stuff and getting some help from aerohbe and im gettin better. I honestly dont think that i'll be using filters at all anymore... just cause i know how to make a background now so that wont be a problem. I added you to msn too m8

thanks a lot

metaldevil= ya im not going to be using filters at all anymore....maybe sometimes but definatly not a lot. Ya i have no art skills (as in drawing) but a lot with computers so i think they balance each other out

They're not shitty, they just suffer from an overdose of filters. So now you have some experience playing with them and it's time to try something else out.

That's all we're saying (at least I am).
