Pixel Techs is live!

It's Alive!

http://pt.the-yarn.net

It's just been uploaded and got running - I'll be adding more to it on Saturday when I'm off. I'm off sick atm, so cba doing much more today.

Temp url btw.



I'll need staff over the next few weeks and months to add more content. Staffers get ftp access to upload the images etc, and everything content-wise is controlled from the front end.

I know quite a few people had expressed an interest in helping out a while back. If you're still interested then get in touch with me.

The site will mainly cover Photoshop and its use, but we will cover imaging in general, from digital photography to desktop modding guides.

As the site grows over time, I hope you'll keep visiting, as this site is entirely for your benefit - a place where your imaging queries get answered with how-to's and guides.

I hope you enjoy the site.

Have you pimped this on B3ta? Loads and loads of photoshoppery goons over there

sweet website sar, good work!

 

[Sar]

Ta

Off work today - got up this morning and had a v. bad throat, no voice (which made ringing into work quite funny) and a banging headache.

I'll be adding some more to it, maybe tonight (a guide on Photoshop layers) or tomorrow. See how I feel.

Hopefully though it'll be something ppl find useful.

Want this stickied, Sar, you c**t?

 

[Darthshearer]

Nice one Sar

 

[Jonaldo]

I would guess this should be stickied instead of the 'coming soon' thread.

Good luck with it all Sar, and hopefully I can learn a thing or two about image tomfoolery.

 

[Sar]

Heh.

Yeah thanks Jup (ya bitch), t'would be grand

 

[Sar]

I've added some more content to the site today, in the form of 2 Guides and 3 Tutorials, mainly from content provided by Mofo8.

Enjoy!

Cool, I see Mofo's started posting some tutorials.

Maybe we need some examples of a finished product (the best ones I've done aren't really safe for work....or the internet tbh!)

 

[Mofo8]

Would anyone find it useful to have a tutorial on doing stuff like this? I was kinda bored with some of the pictures hanging up in my hall, and thought I'd create some new amusing ones. If anyone expresses an interest then I'll try and knock a tutorial up over the weekend, which I can then post on Sar's site. It would cover: the basic head onto new body type stuff, cutting out head, sizing it, rotating it, adjusting it to suit body shot, the impressive sidewhiskers, creating a duotone, and the feathering effect around the pic. This example was just a quicky, it took less than an hour.

imo that would be great, plus you get to have a good laugh aiii. I hope PS works a bit like the gimp

 

[Mofo8]

OK.... I've done a tutorial and posted it on Sar's site. Any feedback, questions or ideas for further tutorials are welcome

 

[Sar]

That is seriously impressive Mofo8, nicely done

 

[TdC]

help! I can't find the link to it on pt

 

[Cyfr]

The modual box thingies seem to have disappeared... so can't find links to tutorials

 

[Mofo8]

This link should take you to the tutorials page.

Doh!

My fault, sorry peeps.

Was mucking about with group permissions, seems I hit one I didn't mean to.

 

[Shovel]

Just a small suggestion: When you make a news post saying "I've make this new tutorial", please give a direct link in the post, it's far friendlier than reading something, and then having to navigate the menus to see what it was.

Excellent tutorials though, great work

email

i emaield u about posting news/tutorials on pixel tech every now and then sar, but yah never replied

 

[Sar]

Hi Pix

Aye, my time on the PC at home is limited recently - the wife has got the eBay addiction bad now, so I don't get much time online currently.

That and HL2 has eaten a LOT of my time as well - perfectly understandable

I hope to get more stuff done soon, so I'll reply to your email soon and let you know all the details etc.
