I've been using paint shop pro for a while and have just started using photoshop so i thought i'd post a few pictures i had made and see what you think any any advice you can give me would be great. I'm not overly keen on the Slipknot one to be honest. I might re do it, i think theres to much going on.

This one is my favourite!I really like your work and looking forward to seeing more.
I can't give you any piece of advice as I can't use Photoshop at all.

The following is constructive criticism. My intention is not to insult it's to help you hone your Photoshop skills. This warning brought to you by Ayria's cautionary approach so that she doesn't get yelled at because it's happened before and Ayria hates making people sad/angry.



My main concern with your work is that it's hard to see what exactly is going on. With this picture you extraction and blending needs some work. Extraction is the term for "extracting" a single element of a picture (normally a character profile) from another picture to be used in your graphics. There's a lot of jagged edges and I can see a lot of while around the characters. Try zooming in and using the polygonal lasso tool as an easy way to correct this problem. Also, for extracting darker colors past it against a bright background. Vice versa for lighter colors.



Again, need some help with the extraction but I'm going to focus on the blending in this pic. First off you're trying to fit too many pictures into a relatively small area which makes the entire image blurry and hard to see. Limit yourself to only the pictures you like the best then arrange them in a clear order. Blending is a helpful technique but you need to be careful when using it because it can easily make an image too busy.



This one's pretty good. I can clearly see the images and you used a nice blue effect on the right image. The only thing I'd change is the font (look at dafont.com for cool downloadable fonts) to make it fit the mood better. Also you seem to have lowered the opacity, which I wouldn't do.



Again, extraction and effects. You seem to like this swirly effect over your images, but it doesn't look very good. I'm having trouble seeing anything besides Amy and Amy's eye. It looks like Terry, Rocky, and John are in there somewhere, trapped by the maniacle brown effect! *gasp* I would experiment with different techniques if I were you.



I have absolutely no idea what's going on here. I can see a few faces, but their bodies are missing. >.<


That's my advice to you. Again, don't take it personally this is just constructive criticism, my aim is to help you become a better Photoshop user. If you have any questions or comments please PM me.
