HmmZ 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2005 One word...Awesome!Great background, but your render still needs some work though, let met guide you a bitget your lasso tool and shape around the part of the render that you want visible, when you got a little oval or round, go to select>feather.. and choose 20px, it should 'straighten' your selection a bit, then go to layer>add layer mask>reveal selection. This will blur the outter part of your selection (from only the layer itself, and keep the revealed part visible, then hit ctrl+u and move your saturion to the left as you prefer (if you prefer to keep some of the colors you dont have to go all the way left, then hit oknow go to your renders layer blending options and experiment with the different 'visualities', overlay/soft light/linear light. (this is of course not necessary, if your using a layer for color balance (layer>adjustment layer>color balance..) you should place the render beneath it, so it catches the color balance.Hope this helps, great pic so far and an even better improvement, keep it up mate!

Johnny 1 Report post Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) What he said. Also, try some blending with your text. I mean, similar colors is nice, but maybe try lowering the opacity so some of the bg seeps through, or even just brushing over the text. It doesn't seem like that much of a difference, but it is, trust me.Other than that, and what HmmZ said, nice job Luki. Keep at it.EDIT: Also, border. I don't see one on there.
