Bill Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Time to update my desktop screensaver, Graveson is no longer here and Beckham is in the twilight of his career. Is anybody any good at removing or replacing the old pic with a newer pic without it being too obvious. Taxi looks good with paint shop and such. Anybody else willing to have a go. ??? Dont be afraid of ruining it cos i have many more copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest efctaxi Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 What exactly is it you are looking for Bill ? Removing the players on that particular template and patching it up again would be a tough job , but I can make you a new background with anything you want on it ( within reason ) I'm giving lessons this afternoon , so if you give me a rough idea what you would like , I'll take a look later and see what I can do . Let me know the size of pic you need . BTW ... I'm pretty naf at this stuff . All about having an idea to start with , and then finding things that fit . Not learnt how to do fancy lines etc yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I would like to keep the same background if poss and just cover the pic in the bottom corner with a later one, action rather than portrait. Too fit a 18" screen but dont worry cos if you make it A4 size 900 x 600 or whatever i just centre it and the royal blue background on the screen shows it up nice. Thanks Kee.

EFC-Paul Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) They are ok Paul, i like the Nil Satis one. Would like to know how to remove the logo without ruining the background i see you managed it. Do you mean the text that was at the bottom Bill or the Everton logo itself? I use this site http://fotoflexer.com/app/index.php?integration=photobucket and just crop a piece of the background and put it over the what ever area it is you want to cover, just upload you pics straight from your pc and play about with them pretty simple stuff we all aint nerds like Taxi Edited February 23, 2009 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah i used that fotoflexer, but wont you leave a hole from where you cut it out. ? and how can i put text in there without it being in a box. Edit ............. ok, I have done 1st part, but now how do i add text without it having to go in a box. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit ............. ok, I have done 1st part, but now how do i add text without it having to go in a box. ?? When you write text in the box on the right that tells you your font and so on it has a box that says something like transparant or keep transparency next to it just tick that and job done.

Bill Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Sorted, I've learnt a few things this last couple of days and this is what i've ended up with and it looks quite good spread out to full size. Just going to play around with the fonts and the texts colour to see if i can blend in a bit better but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest efctaxi Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 This is the last time .......... How do you take players out of the pics so there is no background. I don't know how to do it in the programme EFC Paul uses , but in photoshop , you press on the picture , control + delete + x , then use the pen to draw around the man . When you're done , you fill it with the paint symbol , then press ok . Then touch up with rubber etc if needed , then select it , copy and paste it .

Bill Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Said i was going to tidy the topic up, have left some just in case anybody wants to copy them . Might tidy a bit more shortly, and it was'nt a waste of time, the topic served its purpose. I now know how to do a few things that i didnt know before, and maybe some other peeps do as well. Thanks mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
