I desperately want a new LJ layout but I think I might have lost my drive. Bugger. *wants sexy layout with Dom goodness rather badly*

Just saw a BBC documentary about paparazzi. It's an issue that really pisses me off. The whole thing is just so hypocritic. And no, I don't mean the every day people who claim that papparazzi is bad and then sneak out to buy the latest issue of Hello Magazine. The celebs are who piss me off.

You ignorant fuckers, you live on publicity. You chose this job. You decided to become famous. No don't come running around complaining. If paparazzi are so unbearable, then quit your jobs. And give your poshy mansions and English castles back.

Maybe you didn't consider loss of privacy was such a great sacrifice when you dreamt of being a famous actor/actress/singer/whoever. Well, that's bad luck. Be careful what you wish for is all I've got to say to that.

ETA: Managed to do snazzy new top graphic for my LJ. *drools*

*pats you*

First you have to do the single jpeg pictures... saying for example:
1. I
2. I LOVE
3. I LOVE YOU

Then open a new file and put these pictures upon another in the exact order you want the text to appear. Save this new file as psd.

Go to Image Ready and open that file. Make sure you open the window "Animation" as well. There, underneath the single pictures, you must tell the programm to repeat the pictures an unlimited number of times, and you can also decide how long each picture needs to be shown. (er yes excuse my messy instructions please I only have the German versions) ... Then go to "save new file as" and save it as a gif. Voila.

:o)

Ach! Once you've opened the "Animation" window click on the little arrow and select "Make frames of layers" or something...

Ehm... anything I can do?

And... *points to Ewan icon*

[identity profile] glorfinniel.livejournal.com 2005-08-07 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
*scratches head again* Which Ewan icon?

I'm stuck about the saving thing in photoshop. I've made the different .jpg files, and then what? DO i drag each layer, as it were, onto each other, to make one file and then save it as .pdf?

I've done that, if that's right, but then after that i'm stuck...

You drag the single jpg pictures onto another, and save that one as ONE psd file.

Then open that psd file in Image Ready...
