It's been a while since I last posted a tutorial, so I thought I might like to add this. In this tutorial you will learn to take a photograph of a cathedral and make it gothic-like. --- First you are going to need a picture of a cathedral. So go to https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BwkjVKfAD8uH8QfckIGgCQ&gws_rd=ssl and image search "cathedral". Next youll need to make it black and white for that press CTR+Shift+U Now press CTR+L to adjust the levels. Play with the settings because each picture requires its own settings. For mine I used Input Levels: 10, 0.64, 136, Output levels: 0, 245. The next step is adjusting curves. Press CTR+M, and adjust so it looks somewhat like this... http://exs.cx/ Now the last step is to adjust the contrast. Go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast. Set the contrast to about +20-25. And now you're done! My original: http://exs.cx/ My result: http://exs.cx/

1) Open a new document 1024x768 or 800x600.2) Make a new layer. Fill with Black (000000)3) Apply two Lens Flares (Filter-Render-Lens Flares). First 50-300mm Zoom, In the top right corner.4) Second 105mm Prime, In the bottom left corner5) Go to Image-Adjustsments-Brightness/Contrast. Brightness=80.6) Go to Filter-Distort-Twirl. Angle=800.7) Go to Filter-Artistic-Plastic Wrap. Settings: 20,12,198) Now go to Filter-Distort-Polar Coordinates. Polar to Rectangular. After that go to Image-Adjustments-Hue/Saturation. Edit the color any way you choose.Add On1) This is only a modification with blending effects, horizontal and vertical turn arounds and the fade wave effect.2) Go to Filter-Distort-Polar Coordinates. Polar to Rectangular. After that go to Edit Fade Polar Coordinates. Settings: 96%;Linear Burn3) After that go to Image-Adjustments-Hue/Saturation. Edit the Color the way you like. Copy this layer and go to Edit-Transform- Flip Horizontal. Set the blending mode to Overlay.4) Now merge this two layer together (ctrl+e) and duplicate this merged layer once more. Go to Edit-Transform- Flip Vertical. Set the blending mode to Overlay (or something else, it?s not important).And now you're done!

Yes, CTRL+U is the hue and saturation.

Here's how to make pictures were drawn in pencil! 1) Open up any picture 2) Apply Filter>Stylize>Find Edges. 3) Press CTRL+U Settings: Master, 0, -100, +57 And that's it! Your picture now looks as if it was drawn by hand. My result:

That's really nifty :angry:Thanks for the tut.

I'm pretty good and I'm looking to join one.

*FIXED*+Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur; Setting: 9+ctrl+shift+f; Settings: 100%, Mode: DarkenAnd done...Sorry about that.

You just need to create a database and define the username, password, and db name in the shoutbox PHP file.

Probably because you posted the whole thing in a quote, and the system doesn't count quotes.

Yeah, that not safe at all. A good lure for hackers, expecially if you had an annonymous FTP. But uhh...whatever floats your boat.

This would seem useful as a "Have a question?" or customer support page.Good work!

It's back online now! Yay!*goes to do stuff he planned to do*

I didn't put those guys in there, they just came with the wallpaper.Yeah, I guess I chose some bad grunge brushes ;_;

From: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/6147-posting-activity-rule-automated-hosting-script-know-about-how-this-system-works/ Maybe that has something to do with it?

There's a port access you can get to your cpanel..

I have over 10 hosting credits, AND I have waited FOREVER (A couple of days at least) and I cannot access my site. If you go into CPanel it says I have 0MB bandwith used...I can't say this is the best customer support

Step One: Find a nice wallpaper on http://www.gamewallpapers.com/ (preferably one without any elaborate design, watermarks are okay) and open it in Photoshop. Step Two: Grab a grunge brush. You can get them at http://www.photoshopbrushes.com/ . Get Grunge set 1, Grunge set 2, and Cracks. Step Four: Make a new layer and name it bordertop. Take the rectangular marquee tool and make a rectangle as so... ...and fill with black and don't deselect. Step Five: Create another new layer, name it border bottom, and drag the selection down to the bottom of the image as so... ...and fill with black. Step Six: Create a new layer and name it grunge. Make your forground color white and get out a grunge brush. Apply the grunge brush to the black borders. Remember, the secret to grunge brushes is to click once, and never drag. Step Seven: To delete the white on the actual image, get your magic wand tool and select the border layer. Click the middle between the two borders and switch back to the grunge layer and press delete. Step Eight: To add color to the grunge, press ctrl+u and hit the colorize checkbox and slide the sliders to match your background. Add a stroke of black, 5-10 pixels to the border as well. Step Nine: Here's where your creativity comes into play. You might want to grab a couple of characters from the game wallpaper you are using and put them on your wallpaper and add shadows to them. Remember, if the character image looks grainy or pixelated, apply a gaussian blur of .1 pixel radius. If your wallpaper already has characters on them, I wouldn't reccomend adding more. Step Ten: Add some text to finish it off. Quotes work nice, too. Here is my result... *WARNING: VERY LARGE IMAGE SIZE. DIAL-UPPERS BEWARE*

The date() function can be used in a good way, in some cases, and the most common place you would probably see this in use would be on forums. Let's get down to business... If you would like to display the date, you would have to put the echo tag before the date() function as so... echo date("g:i:s"); Which would display as the common hours, minutes, seconds format (ex: 3:32:45). But you can also add wheather it is AM or PM, display the day (Sunday thru Monday), the year, pretty much anything that has to do with date. Here is a chart to explain what each essential(Which means I wont go over all of them) function does... a - lowercase AM or lowercase PM A - uppercase AM or uppercase PM c - ISO 8601 date (PHP 5 only) Would display as: 2005-02-28T16:17:18+00:00 d - day of the month with zeroes (01 thru 31) D - Name of the day (Mon thru Sun) F - Displays the month (January thru December) g - Displays the hour without zeroes (1 thru 12) G - Displays a 24 hour format w/o zeroes [military time] (0-23) i - minutes m - Numeric representation of a month, with leading zeros (01 through 12) M - A short textual representation of a month, three letters (Jan through Dec) n - Numeric representation of a month, without leading zeros (1 thru 12) s - seconds z - Day of the year (0-365) T - Timezone Y - year (4 digit number) Hope this helps

In this tutorial I will show you how to make different patters to use on signitures and whatnot to make them look neat To define patterns: Edit>Define Patter>Enter a name>OK To place patterns: Edit>Fill>Contents-Use-Pattern>Click Pattern>OK Always create a new layer before placing the pattern, that way you can set the layer opacity to 30% or so then place the pattern. It looks nicer. Pattern 1: Grid Start by making a new document 10x10 with a transparent background. Name it Grid. Zoom in all the way (1600%) Take your pencil tool 1px with a black color (#000000) and make the pattern like this... Used in a sig: Pattern 2: Dots New document 3x3 Pixels Transparent background Pencil tool, black, 1px Make a dot in the center Define pattern Used in a sig: http://exs.cx/ Pattern 3: Scanlines New document 1x2 Pixels Transparent background Pencil tool, black, 1px Make a dot at the top of the image Define pattern Used in a sig: Image hosting provided by http://www.imageshack.us/ The best image host ever

In creating a php file, you can combine HTML and PHP in one file, but you MUST save it as a .php file if it contains any PHP information. Remember, these tutorials are just for your learning and you should not just copy and paste these into notepad and call it good. You also may realize PHP is alot like the C++ programming language <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?></body></html> What the <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?> command does is it exports The information between the 's as raw text. So it would display as <p>Hello World</p> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now we will use the echo() command to display what browser the viewer is using, so we can put a big fat banner telling them to switch to Mozilla Firefox but we don't want to do that because the site would look icky. We don't want to lose traffic, do we? <?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; ?> An output of this code would be Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) if the user is using Mozilla. What this code does is it gets the broswer information and echos it (displays it) for the viewer. Now we could use this to our advantage and tell them which browser they are using or if they are not using Mozilla Firefox with this code... <?phpif (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== FALSE) {?><p>You are using Internet Explorer</p><?php} else {?><p>You are not using Internet Explorer</p><?php}?> The output would be <p>You are using Internet Explorer</p> or <p>You are not using Internet Explorer</p> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For this one, you will need two PHP files, one for the action, and one for the HTML. <form action="action.php" method="post"> <p>Your name: <input type="text" name="name" /></p> <p>Your age: <input type="text" name="age" /></p> <p><input type="submit" /></p></form> That's just simple HTML you would put on a site for a form. You would fill this out and it would display a sentence of "Hi ______, you are __ years old." And this is what we're going to do now. Create a action.php file and put this in it.... Hi <?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>,You are <?php echo $_POST['age']; ?> years old. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And that concludes the noob tutorial for PHP. I hope this has helped you create great websites as it has helped me get hosting credits >_> ++++++++++++++++ Tutorials Copyright 2005 shadow skazi ++++++++++++++++

They say you need 3+ credits and I have about five when I posted that, and the unsuspend script was not being activated. And I'm pretty sure I didn't depleat my bandwith because I don't have much to download from my site and I don't get much traffic, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.I just want my site back ;_;
