[edit] Pro Tips

A simple procedure for producing professional quality composite images;-

• Google...image...search
• Get the GIMP. Like MSPaint, it's free. Unlike MSPaint, it doesn't suck.
• Get a graphics tablet. 6"x9" tablets go for $100 and up. You wouldn't write a novel with a mouse, why would you draw a picture with one? A hundred bucks will save you hours of fighting poor ergonomics (mouse bad, pen good). Your wrist and fingers will thank you.
• Use the highest-res source images that you can find. A 1000x1000 image eats RAM, but the end result will be superior to the same 'chop with 200x200 pixel source images.
• Increase the size of your picture to 400% while working on it (if high-res source images aren't available).
• Save often. Or, to put it another way, save often.
• Always paste into an empty layer so you can tint and fade that layer to match the original.
• Lowering the contrast can help blend the two layers.
• Use an eraser set to low opacity to fade out the hard edges of anything you paste (dont over do it).
• When you're happy with how it looks, collapse the layers, and add your new pic as a new layer over the original one, then use an eraser (set to low opacity) to rub out the top layer to reveal your modifications (This helps to blend the two pics).
• Simple colors modifications can be done this way too (B&W etc).
• When you're happy with how it looks, collapse the layers for the "final" version (be sure to save both a one layer image, for uploading to Uncyc, and a layered image, so that you don't have to start all over if you need to tweak it).
• Use a despeckle/salt and pepper filter to pick out any hot pixels.
• Sometimes a very small amount of blur works well at this point.
• Reduce your pic to 400-600px (large enough, but not stupidly big). Don't save as GIF unless you really have to. GIFs sucks. JPG is better, but can suffer from bleeding/pixelation on high contrast areas. PNG is best. This is why no one ever uses that format.

[edit] Ninja-in-a-Box

Please Help this Picture coming to store shelves this holiday season Image credit: GBA2005 Nominate - discuss this image

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?-- GBA2005 I Want You! 17:39, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

The edges at the front of the box have not been erased very carefully. You'll need to clean that up. And the ninja's head is a bit jagged. --^Dame 17:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

And where's the shuriken? You can't have a ninja without shuriken! Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 20:46, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Jacko the friendly ghost

Please Help this Picture Michael Jackson, white at last Image credit: sannse Nominate - discuss this image

Works? -- sannse esnnas 19:21, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

lahlz @ "white at last". Jacko's got an uneven grayish halo around him, though, especially 'round the face area. The black could use a bit of touchup too, there's like bits of something else there, something mysterious and purple. Also, the bottom of the face doesn't blend quite as well as the top. The light comes from below Jacko (as best I can tell; I guess light properties work differently on ghosts) so I think the top-right of his face needs a little more gray. In general... I think it needs a bit of touchup around boundaries, both light boundaries and the boundaries between the ghost itself and the black background. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • tweetings) 19:42 Jun 28, 2009

Thanks Dr S. With your comments and those on IRC, I've given him a whole new face, the possibly looks more like him. (And tidyed up a bit) -- sannse esnnas 10:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

This face is definitely much better, you couldn't really see that it was MJ in the previous one. The contrast between the shadow on the left side of his face still needs a bit of work. It goes from light to shadow too quickly if you get what I mean. If you fade it a bit more gradually to make that side look a bit rounder it will be perfect. --^Dame 10:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dictator Vision

Please Help this Picture You too can see the world through the eyes of a dictator... Image credit: Sonje Nominate - discuss this image

I made this for Sycamore's article on Propaganda. Would appreciate any constructive criticism and opinions on whether is has feature potential. I'm worried that it may be a bit texty O_O the horror! --^Dame 21:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

If possible, you're better off starting with a pic of him looking off in the direction you want, rather than warping a pic to make it look like he's at the right angle (unless he's just lumpy. Normally, he turns off the light when we snuggle. I've said too much). Warped pics tend to look, um, warped. Sorry if I got technical there. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 21:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I love it when you talk technical to me Modus =P I have been a bit heavy on the warp tool lately, as you mentioned before, I still have to fix Kermit. Thanx, I'll get to it then. --^Dame 21:25, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

The problem with warp is that your brain thinks in 3D, but the pics are just 2D representations of 3D objects, so warping them never quite looks right. It's a tool of last resort. On a side note, I was in Tool of Last Resort. It was a buddy comedy with Dane Cook. I played a well-meaning but naive employee at a rundown hotel. He was the tool. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 21:30, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

My brain barely manages thoughts in 2 1/2D. Anyway, I fixed the warp, but I have this recurring problem when I re-upload stuff. The new file doesnt seem to show. Is this merely because I am impatient? Or is it something more sinister? --^Dame 22:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't show the new version here yet, but it does show it there. It's better. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 22:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Pokemon Battles

Please Help this Picture Pokebattle Image credit: Bad Shroom Nominate - discuss this image

I need ideas for the top screen, which is normal and bland.Blandormal, as I call it.--Bad Shroom 22:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea. What's a Polkaman? Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 03:17, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

My Pokemon knowledge is a tad limited for this one, sorry. --^Dame 12:47, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Saving Private Elmo

Please Help this Picture The Mission is A Muppet Image credit: Sonje Nominate - discuss this image

I made this pic for Tagstit's rewrite of Oscar the Grouch. Any tips or suggestions? --^Dame 09:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

If it's going on VFP I suggest putting a silhouette of a bin over that of the soldier, otherwise it's great --Sir DJ ~ Irreverent 14:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Kermit looks oddly, terrifyingly warped. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 14:39, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Now that you mention it Modus, he does... Alas, my unskilled use of the perspective tool. I'll try to fix it. I'm worried that I may not be able to accomplish the bin feat without ruining it but I'll try. If I can't, can we pretend there is a bin just out of frame? --^Dame 14:48, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes we can! —Sir Sockpuppet Of An Unregistered User 21:32, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Worms 9/11

Please Help this Picture It's a Conspiracy! Image credit: ScottBurnan Nominate - discuss this image

9/11 - Worms Style! --ScottBurnan 17:29, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Start with a different pic of the Twin Towers (there are a few iconic, instantly recognizable ones around). Then add enough worms, rockets, etc, to make it also instantly recognizable as Worms. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 17:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Modus, use a pic in which the towers are clearer and use more characters from the worms games in it. I'm sure there was a worm with a turban somewhere. And the worms characters will have to be higher resolution cause the current solitary worm is very blurry. You will need a lot of detail to make the joke worthwhile. --^Dame 19:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Zork for PS3

Please Help this Picture A step backward in next-gen gaming. Image credit: Not A Good Username360 Nominate - discuss this image

The possibilities are endless with the PS3. Just don't forget to use a USB keyboard. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 23:15, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Nazis Crossing

Please Help this Picture 10 points if you ricochet the mini-me off your bonnet! Image credit: Olipro Nominate - discuss this image

I'm so wrong. -- Prof Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 06:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't it be based on a crossing sign, rather than a yield sign? (bonus, the swastika will fit better). It should probably be either that or the picto-people, and if just the people, they should be goose-stepping and nazi-saluting. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 06:45, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh fuck off -- Prof Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 18:33, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

No, you. Weirdo foreigners and their weirdo signs Why can't you have normal school zone signs like all the cool countries? You do want to be cool, don't you? Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 20:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I think you'll find we came first bitch. You put the Queen on the $20 for a reason, NOW YIELD MOTHERFUCKER -- Prof Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 20:46, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

That's the Queen?! I thought it was just some old transvestite. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 21:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

The swastika and the people kinda cancell one another out cause they are both black. Maybe mae the swastika a dark grey if you want both. And PNG format will make it clearer. --^Dame 22:35, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't the people be white? --Sir DJ ~ Irreverent 14:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

If not goose-stepping and nazi-saluting, how about a silhouette of a panzer tank? The caption could indicate that the signs are were commonly found on roads across Belgium. Rljenk 21:44, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Total Liquidation Sale

Please Help this Picture For a limited time only!!! Image credit: Not A Good Username360 Nominate - discuss this image

A spring sale for the Store. Any tips for making it more in-your-face-y? Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 00:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

More "in-your-face-y"? Have you seen Raiders of the Lost Ark? Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 01:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I mean "annoying banner ad" in-your-face-y, not "cheezy movie poster" in-your-face-y. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 01:36, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

*Sigh* This bit. You don't get much more "liquidation" than that. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 03:36, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that part. No, I think the puddle of water and the semi-melted logo is enough. I was referring to the text. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 17:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Experiment with the text's colour. Red is good ('cause it's hot, and melty), but blue might work better, as it's the water colour. Just an idea. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 20:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Colour racism is a crime. I did both, and now it can give you a headache- just what I wanted! :) How does it look now? Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 22:01, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

That thing you did? Don't do that. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 22:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Say what? Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 22:33, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Generally, when you say "and now it can give you a headache", it's bad. Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 22:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, but if it's supposed to be annoying, would you not agree headaches are annoying? Besides, it's not that bad. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 23:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

You need to do a slight blur along the edges of the logo on the ice cube, so that it looks more like it's part of the ice cube. And maybe raise it a bit so that the "UN" is not on the crack. --^Dame 22:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Done... I think... Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 22:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't know about the red in the text. maybe replace the red with a light blue or grey. The red is too intense and it doesn't feature anywhere in the rest of the pic. --^Dame 23:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Infinite Demotivation

Please Help this Picture Because one good internet meme deserves another. And another. And another... Image credit: Not A Good Username360 Nominate - discuss this image

The only demotivational poster that cannot be made with MS Paint. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 20:57, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure MS Paint has a text function. I don't really get it though. --^Dame 21:08, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I doubt MS Paint could do a good tunneling effect. As for getting the joke, it's a play on this internet meme. Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 22:24, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

It might work better for Hinduism (y'know, reincarnation). And you can afford Photoshop. My $200 Wacom came with a copy (and it came with a shitty mouse that I never, ever use). Ask Santa for one (tell him he can keep the mouse). Sir Modusoperandi ^Brute! 00:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I said you, "you" being the people who made this an internet meme, can't afford one, and instead try to get away with captioning. I know, confusing. Give it a minute. It'll sink in eventually. Still, is there any way to make this less "I-don't-get-it"-y? Sir Not A Good Username360 KUN 00:49, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
