This is how elections are decided in the modern world


In other news, I am also announcing my daytime retirement from B3ta. Our office has had a move about and now everyone can see my screen. (While the new boy gets to hide away in the corner. So much for my 3 years of service). I expect productivity to go up about 15%. I might be able to pop in occasionally. /bitter.

I suggested a swap
but apparently he has to "work closely" (read: look at the tits) of the lady he sits next to.

the eyeball option is appropriate then

Indeed it does
Anyway, I'll see how it pans out when I go back on Thursday.

See you on the Gay shift
and a quick TJ:
As you are all my Photoshop hints and tips bitches, how would you go about doing this:
Have an image cut out on it's own layer, but edges are slightly pixely, a bit dirty. I seem to remember Deluxe Paint III had a 'trim edges' function, that applied a few times would make the edges smooth like a babies arse without cutting away too much of the image. Photoshop doesn't seem to. I am currently putting a white, 2px, 'stroke' on the inside, but is not ideal. Any thoughts?

feather ?
( sex and dougs and rock n roll, Mon 19 Jul 2004, 15:59, archived)

you could
feather it

Feather
would loosen up the edges


perhaps I misunderstood the request

That is exactly what I have
been overlooking for many a year.
Thanks all. It's not the most intuitive of names though is it? I like "trim edges". Ah well.

filter>sharpen>sharpenedges
works for me

feathering works, but also
you can apply a bevel filter with just the slightest depth, make it very soft, and scale down the opacity. it's something you can play with until it looks like what you want.

Or...
Control+Click on Layer (selects transparency)
Select/Modify/Contract - Contract by 1 to 3 pixels;
Control+I (inverts selection)
Filters/Gaussian Blur - 0.3 to 1 pixels.
Control+D (deselect)

this just blurs the outer fringe of pixels.
