And again i'm damned to use Gimp and Inkscape :/ Fundraising for a design suite for me?

I'm certain GIMP has very same filters available (not sure if they are named same way, but I'm certain they work same way), so you can try doing it in GIMP so long as you have an idea of what needs to be done.

i do not see a single step in there that couldn't be done with Paint.net or GIMP. (its a little harder in them than Photoshop but doable)

Damn U, Photoshop Elements! But it looks like something I could try to do in Gimp, and then import to PSE

zummerfish In reply to SarlyneART [2012-03-16 12:55:18 +0000 UTC]

I'm fairly sure GIMP has similar options available, so you might not need PSE at all

SarlyneART In reply to zummerfish [2012-03-18 20:02:22 +0000 UTC]

I just meant that I can do the sky in GIMP and do the rest of the picture in PSE; because I totally love PSE, although it's more limited But yupp, will try it out on occasion. Very neat tutorial, like the others.

I used the techniques you use in this tutorial to make a pretty neat image of a flying car making its way toward the sunset^^
Thank you for this. I had no prior experience with using fill layers or duplicating from selections, and the way to use noise + motionblur + gaussian blur to make sunbeams was cool Kinda hard to match the position of the different effects on a large image though. But I managed

zummerfish In reply to McJaews [2012-03-16 12:54:02 +0000 UTC]

Well, it might take some practice yeah XD You don't necessarily have to match it exactly if it's hard, since you can move around parts of layer instead ))))

Interesting tutorial~ ^^

Wonder if it'd be possible to use this for drawings too...

zummerfish In reply to ElegantExcalibur [2012-03-16 12:51:32 +0000 UTC]

Certainly XD But you'd have to see whether it fits drawing style though.
