Try not to laugh and remember this is the first one I've done,so I'm still learning.

This is a pic of my No.1 pick TE Jamal Strong catching a pass in week 1 against the evil Little Rock Toads,my hated division rival.

Please respond and give your opinions so I can see what everyone thinks as well as see what I need to work on.

And if anyone likes I will try to do some for others if the quality is good enough. ops

That is pretty good BIGWOOD. Those logo's are a pain in the ass to get right huh?

[BIGWOOD1488]

Yup,I think I'm gonna break down and get Photoshop,cuz I've noticed a few things that bother me about GIMP,the main one being I don't like the way some of the images translate when they're saved,if you notice sometimes when they're converted they have a kind of grainy watery look thats not they're when they're saved,It could be because I don't know what I'm doing and I'm puter illititerate but I still don't like it.

I will tell you exactly what that is. When I started trying to do things at the begining of the Imperial Web page, like the team pages and stuff, I was using Paintshop and had the same stuff happen for the couple pics I was putting on those.

I went over to Photoshop and found out that it has to do with colors that are 'web-compatible.' Some colors look good on the web, and some do not. When in Photoshop it warns you when you select and color that is not exactly web-safe (and another one for printing safe). You then have the option to have Photoshop the closest 'web-safe' color.

I usually go in between the two, because sometimes the closet safe color is not close enough.
