It looks good, but the one thing I'd add would be some random static. Use the add noise filter. Locke

A little blurry down on the right side on my screen but it looks pretty good... Always good to have reference photos... I have a bunch of books and magazines along with photo cds, etc... National Geographic and stuff like that have some nice photos, same with popular mechanics, popular science, etc... Makes it much easier and less frustrating if you have something to look at so you know what it should look like...

Whenever I,m trying to fake any sort of camera or screen shot I use the old standbye of rounding off the corners.It,s probably not factualy correct these days with square,flat screen tv,s yet it seems to suggest "screenshot".

Thanks guys. I'll put the suggestions to use and come up with some new pictures. I made the area near the props blured to simulate the effect of the blades turning. Is there another way I should try and simulate that? Thanks again.

Oh they are easy to do.... Just make an image like 1X1 pixel high (Or however tall you want the scan lines) and the length of the picture your going to put them on, and make the bottom pixel length transparent and then use the fill with pattern option in PS and play with the layers... Well I probably didn't explain it very well, but thier are many tutorials on how to do it, all are almost exactly alike... Try www.designsbymark.com or err I would say www.screamdesigns.com but they charge now. Pretty easy tutorial to find though.

errr I mean 2 pixels high... So like a picture 1000 pixels long you would make the scan lines 2 pixels high and 1002 pixels wide (1002 to be safe..) in a seperate file, then do the transparency thing then select all, define as pattern, and on the other image fill with pattern, I think.... Haven't used photoshop in like a month since my computer keeps crashing.
