I just made this... my first graphic in months, so, what do you all think?

rofl, you quite blatantly did not make that.

I did. Honestly, I swear on Gaga's life. I feel quite offended now. I put a lot of effort into that.

I reckon Shawn over on Expose will be even more offended.

rofl, controversial!

There. That's the file that I made it in.

Shawn?
I really do feel offended now. I spent ages on that. :(

okay why don't you explain to me how you did it. I mean you're so offended I would claim you stole from someone else, you shouldn;t have any problem telling me how you made it. In detail.

I used the Heartbeats promo pic from Lady-Gaga.net and made two layers on Paint.net, then I cut the image down to 700x376 size on layer 1 and copied the same mage onto layer 2 but made the hue blue and lowered the saturation slightly.
I found this (http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?im...3Doff%26sa%3DG) image on Google Images and added it to layer 3, made it greyscale to cut the image down and lowered the opacity.
After that I added the text with the top line on layer 4 and the bottom line on layer 5. Later, on layer 6 - I added two black bars at the bottom and top, then I used layer 7 to use bars the same size but make them lighter into a shade of grey. I then faded layers 6 and 7 together from the right of the graphic and finally flattened the image into what it is now.

& I've never been on Exhale so I don't know any Shawn.
That graphic is 100% mine.

well fair enough you proved you point and did it well. Personally I still don't believe you because regardless of your knowledge it doesn't attribute to the fact that Shawn on exhale had the exact same banner as his sig not long ago. but like I said, you proved your point.

Well I wouldn't know about this Shawn guy so, whatever.
It's all forgotten.

Which version is better?
