Inheritance screencaps

[karen9]

A few of my favorite pics from The Inheritance. I think all of them have been posted elsewhere, except two.

You've done a great job with these! I'm really liking #1, might have to icon that. I have #6, only with a little more cheeky smile and a dimple. :D

Thank you! I know they're nowhere nearly as good as yours, but I'm just pleased with myself for managing to do them, with your help, of course.

Is it from this point that you import the pics into Photoshop and work your magic on them?

I'm always glad to help, but then you already know that. :)

Yes, once I have the scaps, then I open them in Photoshop and proceed to play. And if you would like a tutoral feel free to ask. ♥

Those are really nice screenshots, Karen9, my favourite is actually #1. :)

Can I be cheeky and ask for a brief tutorial, Alisa? I have Photoshop, but don't know where to start. It's HoS's 8th birthday on 25th August (yes, we've been going 8 years though I only joined in 2006) - and I would like to try and do a FBS orientated picture for the other writers. I have lots of screencaps, and basically I'd like to meld RoS characters and photos of our own-creation characters together and make it all pretty...somehow. ;)

Hee. Yes you can be cheeky, but I'm going to need to know more about what you want. Do you have basic Photoshop knowledge? I did a very simplified tutorial where I took two separate caps of the Sheriff and Gisburne and turned them into a wallie Here. If you want to email me with a little more info I might be able to help. :D

Did you buy Photoshop or do you use freeware? I looked on the Internet and found the software available at an appallingly high price, but there was a free option. The latter requires Adobe Acrobat Flash Player, for which I also found a free download site. I'm a bit nervous about downloading from unknown sites, though.

I use Photoshop 7.0 but am lucky and didn't have to buy it. About 4 years ago a friend at work who used to do graphic design was nice enough to make a copy of the program and give it to me so that I didn't have to pay the exorbitant price. Of course, now that I'm addicted to it, if something ever happened and I lost the program I would grit my teeth and shell out the money!

I'm not sure about the free option you found. Is it just a trial version? I have heard that GIMP is a pretty good program that does alot of the same things and not only is it a legit site, it's freeware!
