Image error


Hi all

Would like some input on the types of apps/programs yall are using to create banners for the TGx competitions.

Im sure there are others out there that are just as stumped as I am...so, how about some help?

The more folks that enter, the more fun it is!

The more folks that can get some info on HOW to do it, is awesome!

I'm on Linux Mint and for the contest banners that I submit, I use Photoshop through a Windows 10 Virtualbox.
For any other "artwork" that I create and post, I go online and use Photopea https://www.photopea.com/

Photopea is as close as you can get to Photoshop.

For all artwork i use FOTOMIX :_love:_love:_party:_:-*

Sooooooooo easy:_:-):_:D

No big massive list of tools to confuse you....just simple basic easy tools with sliders:_party:_O:-D
Comes with two images already loaded so you can very quickly start using the tools and see how they go:_party:_:-*

For those who don't use...or find photoshop waaaaaaay to fiddly:_:-):_facepalm
This does all the same but without the farting about with technical doo-dah's'n'stuff:_:D

Image error


You can work on one image at a time then put them together or work on all at once:_party
Very easy to use.
My recomendation for all new artists or those looking to mess about a bit....or put a dong on someone's head for a laugh:_:-):_:-):_:P

Hi B4ND1T69:_trusted_uploader::_sitefriend::_sitelover::_junkie::_kitty::_sun::_turtle:, and thanks for the tips and such!

I am a rookie digital artsy-fartsy type, and consider my skill around -10....
I dont mind learning new stuffs, and will certainly give this a try :_party:_pirate

Again, really want to learn, and want to encourage and help others find resources to do the same :_party:_pirate
This is the main reason I do not enter the banner comps. Im very determined to change that :_:-@
