it looks great. honestly i didnt want you to spend much time on it at all. i was hoping it would a easy ad of effects to the top and bottom and resize down to 480x800.
i like yours in all rights, i was just looking for a matted, worn look as in the original. also, and this is more of what i truely liked as much as the worn look is the biohazard arch meeting with andros antenna which creates the spark look.
thank you very much for all the effort. let me know if what i mentioned is possible or just to much effort for little reward. i am planning on throwing some money on the pre-pay card, so i will hopefully be able to thrown a few bones at you and dag, exists. maybe only five or ten. but i like to give back a little, even if it aint much.
just let me know if you want to close this project or if adding to the top and bottom of the original or wearing down and meeting the arch/antenna of urz. either way, ur call. i know ur busy and all.
tnx again.
OK
scaling it down to 480x800 makes the whole image narrow and distorts it.
If I scale it down to 480x400 then I have to make up the top and bottom by grabbing some blank area from the pic.....then it looks patched.....
I could try and gradient in something but it may still look patchy and it's very difficult to match every color in the original.....not to mention I don't even know what brushes they used.
would be great to have the PSD for this....then it would be easy as pie.
but when you have a merged image with no control over the elements and you try to resize it into a ratio it wasn't meant for.....it gets very hard.
