Masthead finally Up

Jul 26, 2009 16:06

I uploaded my Sporangia Masthead tonight. I didn't get the dimensions quite right, but it wasn't too bad for a first try. This is temporary until I get around to doing my own artwork. I had dinner tonight with Vala and saw that her Carson illustrations are coming along. We also talked about the best facial angles for a Sheppard portrait ( Read more... )

Fun with computers... momcat09 July 27 2009, 18:14:44 UTC

Gosh, I'm glad SOMEONE was having fun with their computers last night... between trying to convince the Pink Panther that she really, really NEEDS to install her Norton Internet Security ( just like any other cat, doesn't like taking her meds, LOL!! ) and seeing what else I can pull off my old laptop prior to wiping the hard drive and seeing if reinstalling the operating system helps... I did get Tracking the Eye installed on it.. (gotta get the important stuff first...!)

And then there's always the eternal lawn issues... wonder how much it'd cost to dump that much gravel over all of it.. sigh...

Anyway, I just blipped over to your Dreamwidth page -- that's gonna be cool once you get the sizes worked out!! Are you gonna have an official title for your page at some point?? Seems like it wants something more than just "sporangia"...people might get disappointed that there aren't any things about ferns ...

I like your suggestions. I probably do need to name the thing. Since I wasn't sure how it would display type I stayed away from any lettering. Sporangia comes up automatically with a type font I don't particularly like, but I'm not sure I can change it. Gotta go spelunking again into the nether regions of customization. I need to shrink the masthead about 6%, I don't know how to do that. I want the mauve borders to line up with the brown borders--that is probably going to take some experimenting. Unless the new code push has made it possible to enlarge or shrink the borders. I don't think we can do that at the no-pay level ( ... )

Hmm... well, if you created it in PhotoShop, and if the whole thing's one big graphic, seems like all you need to do is open it in Photoshop, go into image and select Image Size ( ... )

Well my second attempt at uploading a corrected masthead image was a bust. I reduced the image by 6% and uploaded it to Photobucket. Then I linked the Photobucket image in the DW link spot and for reasons I can't fathom my masthead actually appeared bigger rather than smaller this time. So I checked the image to make sure I really reduced it--and it is smaller at least according to Photoshop ( ... )

Fun with scanners...not! vala3 July 27 2009, 21:03:07 UTC

Well, searched all through my computer and finally found the scanner in programs in the HP file. But for some reason still can't get it to come on. I hopefully didn't erase it when I ran that Ccleaner to clean out all the cookies and other stuff. I have a horrible feeling I deleted the link to it or something.
Worked this morning on the Carson pic. I won't be doing another stargate soon. That thing was a bitch to draw. Hopefully it looks enough like it to pass. Finished up the background and now just have to do the some detail work and some more on Carson.
I enjoyed watching Stargate Atlantis last night as well. I will probably watch another episode later tonight. Need to head over to Momcat09 lj next. Was on elemgli and DesLily lj's earlier, posted a comment on DL's but Elemgi hasn't posted since July 12.
Snapped a picture this morning of the cat. Looks a lot like Momcat09's critter. Except this one has more golden eyes.

It is beautiful my html tests went the way they usually do. They didn't work at all. Go ahead and delete them and I will try again later. I gave up at four in the morning calling it a bust.

I was trying to link to a specific essay on my site without the link showing. And I was practicing an Lj link to an individual I actually got that to work once. Thanks for the test zone.
