Two quick questions
Hello! I just have two quick questions for y'all. I'm trying to make an icon and a BG set at the moment, and I have ideas, but not the tools I need...or if I do have them, I don't know how to use them. I have both Adobe and PSP, though I really don't know how ot use PSP (though if you know a good tutorial site...^.~)
Anyway, one of the things I want to do is make a series of snapshot images. I'm not really sure if it's that it's a template, or a brush, or if people are just drawing white lines and manipulating the image to make it look that way, but I was wondering how to get the polaroid photo effect around my image...well, rather, the polaroid look and then I'm sure I just manip my pic. But yes, I want to make a series of photographs on my BG that I'm making.
The other question isn't quite as relavant now, because I've gone ahead and made the image (it's the one I'm using atm, actually), but I had wanted to create a burned effect around the edges of my image. By burned (since there are so many burns in icon language, lol!), I don't mean a blend, but I mean...like...okay, basically the effect I'm going for is, if I were to take a match or a lighter to the edge of my icon and burn it up with fire. That kind of a burn. I may go back and redo the image with it and see how I like it, or I may just make a new image with it because I just grabbed a bunch of screencaps and feel like experimenting. But I really want to know how to do this effect. I don't know if it's a brush, if it's a combination of effects, or something in and of itself, or what.
If you can help me with either of these effects, I would really, really appreciate it. Thanks SO much!!!
