Had to link to this. It's part parody, part summary of the OotP movie. Cracktastic, this one. I was in stitches for lots of it, trying not to wake everybody up. Bellatrix Lestrange's evil cleavage FTW. (Which I've just remembered there is quite a bit of in my Bella icon, so yay for that.)

DEMENTORS: We can has soulz?

Her cleavage is rather distracting. *stares dreamily into space*

As for that parody, my god. CRACKS. IN. MY RIBS.

*stares dreamily at your icon* LOL, and I didn't even really notice I was doing it until I realized that I'd tilted my head to the left to look down her shirt straight on.

And I thought so. That's the funniest of the three HP ones that that author has done, but if you hit up her "Parody" tag, you can find the rest.

Lol, I've tried to do the same. I got v. excited in Photoshop last night when making my header, because I had to actually draw her cleavage (as all the posterising and thresholding made the lines almost disappear).
Then her jawline got fucked and made her look like a frog wearing a turtleneck. Trying to fix that was frustrating.

THAT IS SO VERY NEAR TO TOUCHING IT THAT we are dorks, lol.

And I love it, btw. I meant to say something. You always have headers and icons and such made of sex. My photoshop skills are not quite worth much yet. Also, mine is dumb Photoshop Elements, which basically means it doesn't have all the good stuff.

Trying to fix that was frustrating.

I hate that. I kept screwing up trying to find some way to make my hair actually visable on the Me!Bella picture, but whatever I did would involve a bunch of clicks, so I couldn't go back as far as I needed, so I'd have to revert and start from scratch, and it ended up taking much longer than it needed to considering that I finally just decided to go with a b/w+blur and be done with it.

LOLOLOL. That's like me in the cinema the other day. I'd just seen Bridge to Terabithia with my sister, and we had to wait for my dad and brother to come out of HP, right, only we were sitting IN FRONT OF A LARGE HP DISPLAY. WITH AN ALMOST-LIFESIZED TONKS. Made me even happier in my pants.

I've often wondered what Elements was. If your internet isn't too slow you should download 7.0. Or CS or whatever. I use 7.0, so my mind automatically jumps to that one.
If you did have all the good stuff, your skills would be worth heaps in no time. It's so easy to learn, and you're the kind of person who learns real quick (or so I've read :P) so it wouldn't take much. I hardly even use tutorials - I just fiddle and see what works. Very therapeutic.

I'm not sure exactly what the differences are, but you should see if you can display the history box. That way you can scroll back and undo everything from a certain point onwards. You can select it under the "window" or "view" tabs, methinks.
That, or just duplicate the layer, so you can fiddle and then delete it if you hate it, and have the original underneath.
But yeah. I have NO idea what's different between the two programs.

You should steal it. No lies. I would. (Well, okay, no, I'd ask if I could have it when they were finished displaying it. Though if it was smaller, I would. Because they wouldn't miss it and it would get so much more molestation love with me.)

I hardly even use tutorials - I just fiddle and see what works.

Yeah, me too. I've only started using the mini!Photoshop recently, though, before it was all this other program. Actually, I use them both in combination more often than not, because on the other program, it's really easy to crop things to whatever size you want, while that's all guess and check on mini!Phtshp.

you should see if you can display the history box.

yyy, I've got that one. It's up in some weird tab thing on the right, though. Odd.

just duplicate the layer, so you can fiddle and then delete it if you hate it, and have the original underneath.

That's what I usually do, when I remember. I'm not used to being able to do it, as there was no such feature in the other program I used.

I have NO idea what's different between the two programs.

You know, neither do I, really. I just figure by the name "Elements" and the fact that it's not 1 trillion dollars like real Photoshop that it's got less stuff.

And, because I forgot I had more to say and hit post, "LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF 'HELL NO.'" is my new phrase of the week. As are half of the things in there. Too priceless, I say.

[chaosity.livejournal.com]

LOL that's going to be my new thing also. I've been in a pretty shitty mood recently, though, and have avoided speaking to people, so I haven't quite had a chance to use it.

Way too priceless.

Ohsad. But ILU!

Though I know what you mean. I go through swings of that all the time. Though sometimes it's hard to tell, given my utter loathing of using the telephone. Srsly, to the point that I wouldn't call my boss to get the $60 he owed me after the last volleyball game of the season, even though I think about it all the time. Is so sad. Telephones and dentists are fail.

ILU2!

I'm not so bad with using a telephone. It depends on who I'm talking to. But yeah. If it was my boss or someone like that... no.

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

It depends on who I'm talking to.

Once I get on the phone, I'm usually okay. And I've always been told I'm really good on the phone, polite and courteous and eloquent and all. But sometimes I just can't pick it up. Strangers get me, mostly, like if I had to call a doctor or something to make an appointment. And bosses, because it's darn near impossible to ask somebody for money (though I've actually asked him for a raise before, but that was in person and because he was cheating me).

It's harder than most forms of communication, though, methinks in a purely objective way, because not only do you not have the body language and all to pick up on, but you can't even look back over what you're saying and revise it if necessary, like on the computer.
