Guest TheFallenLord Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hello People of the Otaku Forums, I am curious about how you guys make these awsome wallpapers. Do you guys use photoshop? My skills on photoshop aren't that great, thats why I wanna know if its even possible to make such nice wallpapers from photoshop. If so and you know a good tutorial site over making nice GFX from photoshop fill me in ^^. If there is another program you use to make wall papers/signatures/avatars/profile pictures let me know please. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakurasuka Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 [size=1] Photoshop is pretty amazing, and yes, people do use a multitude of grpahics programs to make wallpapers. GIMP is another commonly used program since it's free and has some nice features, put I just find it an annoyingly over-glorified MSPaint. I'd reccoment Paint Shop Pro [prefferably version 8] for anyone who's interested in a user-friendly program with just about the same features as Photoshop. Plus PSP is cheaper than PS, though I'm supposing you already have PS anyway, so it really doesn't make a difference. No matter what program you use, it just takes practice. There's nothing I [or anyone else] can tell you to make you a good graphic designer. It's all up to you. As for tutorials, [url="google.com"]Google[/url] is your best bet.

makuno Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Photoshop! I could give you tips if you wanted. Plus, the photoshop layout is kinda complicated, so use PSP 8 if you don't any complicated things... Yet Photoshop is slightly better in outcomes.

jigglyness Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 There really isn't a better program to use to make wallpapers. I really depends on what the user perfers. Some programs specialize in different effects. I personally use Photoshop but Paint Shop Pro is just as good. You can't really say one program is better than another either. I don't think there is a "way" to make wallpapers. It depends on your own personal style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigglyness Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 The best choice is to experiment around with what you know and build up from there. Tutorials help alot but once you start building up your own style, it gets easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
