[neonplanet40]

Hey again guys! Of for holidays and lurking about alot lately talking about alot of things on the forums from 'Black Roses' and Media centre Remotes to Starting a crazy thread in the CS:Source Forum. But today its a new day and i have a number of new things I'd like to do! And as always I'd like your help!

Well basically i have been a member of Digital Blasphemy For over a year now.
The link is www.digitalblasphemy.com for anyone that doesnt know it. Now this guy does amazing wallpapers and basically i would like to learn how to make wallpapers. I have alot of the software but i don't know how to use it.

Can anyone point me in any directions as to where to start? And also any software i might need to get in order to do these or computer specs etc. Thank you for your help once again as always guys!

Get Photoshop and look on the net for guides or buy a book, to get to that kind of standard takes ages.

There are a number of programs available for free on the web. I had a play with a few about 18 months back. Unfortunately I cleared out all my creations aand the software a while back. Some are easy to use and most have tutorials to start you off. Some can be quiet complex using layers (ala photoshop) and differing parameters.

Fractal Forge and Chaos Pro I remember using.

A quick googling revealed http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/Fractal_Software.html - looks comprehensive

i have always make my own wallpapers in photoshop using layers,masks and all that jazz, none of them are as good as the DB wallpapers but they genrally come out nice and i like them best thing to do is do what iranu said and follow some tutorials and then muck around in photoshop for a while and "pic" it up (excuse the punn)
