Userbars - I Make 'Em!

Ok, so I'm stupidly proud of myself for this, but I just made my first Userbar. I couldn't find one for Lambert and Butler on the actual site.

I have no skills with Photoshop as I tend to get more than a little frustrated, but I thought I'd have a go using a tutorial I found and I did it!

I'm sharing this with you while I have the taste for making these, so if any of you wany any specific ones made that you can't find on the site, just ask.

- Apologies if this thread is in the wrong place ninja

Yep, except because I still don't know how to cut something out of a picture (rendering? Is this called rendering?) it means I have to use already 'rendered' images with transparent backgrounds.

Currently working on it laughing out loud

Rendering is simple; just unlock the image layer (double click it in the layer pallete) and cut it out. You can use then pen tool or the polygonal lasso (hold down the lasso tool, it's the second option). It takes lots of clicking and is time consuming but easy.

Ah so...

Well, I made this one;

Using this camera image;

All I did was select the edges of the camera using the Polygonal lasso, then used the Quick Mask (did I need to do that as my camera image ended up being so small that the edges really didn't show?). Then I clicked the Standard Selection button and chose the Move Tool, then transferred the camera onto my userbar and shrunk it down to size.

Was all of that necessary? laughing out loud
