Just amazing! I love especially how he's used the texture of skin in the elephant! Great! But who is the artist? Does he have a web site of his own? Or did I miss something...?

Thank you Lillian! I thought I had already replied here but... sorry! You've been very kind with your words. Thanks again!

Hi Bradymac, in PhotoShop I made first the given 125 x 20 pixels area in 72 ppi, then changed it to 300 ppi, and got an area sized 521 x 84 pixels for the Big one.. I've got one question too. Is it preferred to make MP & NL header/logo with rounded corners? And secondly; (I asked already before) about the use of the Skyscraper - is it meant to be used on R'Osity or on other sites? Thanks already! -titta

After making all possible changes, and when absolutely sure :-) the picture is finished you change the image (colour) mode from RGB to CMYK. As I said you can't do it properly in other programs than in PhotoShop - it's quite a complicated process although you don't need to do anything too hard. In PhotoShop you choose the mode in Image menu. Before that you have to check colour profiles and other stuff but I think you will get help for all of that if/when you win the contest and they ask the CMYK files from you. So don't worry too much about that yet, just enjoy designing! that's my humble advice. I hope this helped you a bit. :-)

Hi Lilian and all others too! Lillian, this time I thought I could ask my question here. :-) I have lots of questions but just now I'm interested in purposes of all images needed; where do you use the Skyscraper image? On R'Osity or on other sites? @ bradymac - usually (actually ALWAYS!) you work with RGB-images, never with CMYK. Just before sending them to printing house you change the mode to CMYK for printing (with proper adjustments). And it's not a nice thing but real working CMYK separation can be done only in PhotoShop; other programs can make the colours even more wrong than usually in changing RGB to CMYK... that's really nasty. Actually it'd be nice if the printing house would make the mode changing. Have you asked it, Lillian? I wish good luck to all of us! I hope you all have as fun as I have when struggling with these graphics. :-)

Typos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry! I meant - of course - "Great entries this far!"

I'm really late here but I hope this helps: You have to select the color area(s) with that grey (or have them on a layer of their own); then in the Colour-palette (from Window-menu) with RGB-sliders, adjust the numbers, then fill previous colour areas (with no feather!). I don't actually know any other ways to use exact colours in PS. Good luck with your work! :-)

Sorry to be so late... but HAPPY BIRTHDAY Pascale cherie!!!! :-)

I'm happy if this screenshot helps somebody :-) A leopard can't get rid of his spots... (and once a teacher, always a teacher lol). Love to both of you, sisters! :-)

Poor Syl! I hope you'll be fine really soon! I'm happy you both sisters liked my version - there are a Westie puppy of my sister's, and my other sister's grand daughter. That was fun to do! Thanks Syl!

Thank you so much! You make me blush.... I don't know ow much time I'll spend here 'cause I'm not really a photographer - I use camera only for my own pleasure, and for reference pictures :-) But maybe.... with some postwork I'll now and then participate your challenges and other things. You are all so kind that it's easy to feel comfortable here. :-)
