[sherryvu]

you can use programs like photoshop or paintshop pro to create images like that.

just for future reference, there's an "edit" button at the bottom right incase you ever need to use it

sry for meantioning blogring agian

[whomps]

I suggest you use Photoshop. And there's no point in giving us the code, it's just the image with the circle thingy you want. I don't know how your blog is overlapping the modules, are you sure you followed all the directions that they gave you? Oh, and for the circle thingy, first you complete the image, the girl and the purple brushes in the background, and then you use the eliptical marquee tool (the circle one) to get the part of the image as a circle that you want. Then you right click > Inverse and delete. Then you'll have just the circle part.. and make sure that the image is all on the same layer. And this is all on Photoshop.

One more thing, use the "edit" button at the top right hand corner of your post when you need to edit something, instead of creating a new post.

[mikazukix]

uh... where do i get the shop thing and when i do wut does the circle marquee tool look like???

o i gave u the code because i couldn;t show u wut it looked like with the http thingys and such...

[whomps]

You'll see what the tool looks like when you get it.
It's PHOTOSHOP. You can download a free trial of it at http://www.adobe.com

[mikazukix]

is that marquee tool also in saint paint studio... cause right now i'm using that one and i dun relaly know wut u mean by circle marquee tool
sorry i'm stupid.... never relaly got thsi skin makign biz..

[whomps]

I have no idea what program that is. It's the tool that selects your image. Usually it's shaped in a rectangle.

[mikazukix]

o.. so after i inverse and delete i save it and upload it sumwher adn get the url and post it on my skin??? is that it??

[whomps]

Yeup.. basically.

[mikazukix]

sighs another problemm.. okay well i chose photobucket to upload it and yea.. but for sum reason it won't let me cause it dusn;t have those ending things with it like jpg i saved my pic under my sample pictures and it won't work y is that??


if i can't do this can sum1 do it for me >.<

[freeflow]

dont give up soo easily or youll never be able to do it it took me forever to make a skin but ne ways

it means that when you save it you saved it under a invalid file
so you need to open the file on watever program you used
then click save as
then change the .psd or w/e too ".gif" , ".png" , or ".jpg" then upload it again
(when i sayd change it dont chage the name to .jpg i mean change the file type you can name the file w/e you want)
then upload it again

[mikazukix]

so where would i go to save it to a valid file for those dot things... so i wouldput the name of the pic to anythign i wated then add the jpj thing at the end??

p.s i'm only giving up cause i was on this problem for like a month and a lil more and it's just so confusing >.<
