Graphics forum reaches 5000 posts

[korkus2000]

It has taken some time but the graphics forum has past the 5000 post mark. I want to thank everyone for contributing to the forum and to mivox for getting the forum started and nurturing it.

5000 woohoo!

[mivox]

WooHOO! :) Of course, we're not quite as popular as Google updates, but they always say slow and steady wins the race right? hehehe

[BlobFisk]

Congratulations mivox and korkus!

[jatar_k]

nice work :)

[Nick_W]

Yep, well done guys!

This is a forum I hang my head in shame to admit that I seldom visit. I'm so graphically challenged it's not even vaguely amusing...

Still, perhaps I'd get a bit better if I put this forum on my watch-list?

Nice work guys ;)

Congratulations and nicely done. I still remember the day you set up housekeeping and ran off with a bunch of posts from Browsers.

How long ago was that then Tedster?

Excellant stuff Chaps, or more to the point Gentleman and Lady.

Either my memory is faulty [could that possibly be?] or one of our charters is faulty. The Browsers charter says it was founded June 21, 2000.

Ah well, either way - both mods have built a sizzling forum here that gets better by the day.

I believe mivox started the forum and she wasn't a member until dec 2000.

[mivox]

Hehehe... Probably supposed to say 2001 then, but I didn't write the charter, so it's not my fault. ;) I'm terrible about keeping track of dates anyway.

Just the other day, I said my boyfriend and I had forgotten our fourth anniversary. I figured it to be our fourth, becuase I we'd gotten together when I was 23, and I'm now 27.

Except it was our fifth anniversary, because I'm actually 28.

So, I'm certainly not the one to ask. ;)

<added>Oldest post on the public forums was "Last Message" in March 2001, so I changed the charter date to Feb 2001.</added>

What! We have a graphics forum?

[Marcia]

Nice! Congrats to you both. This is kind of the "creative corner" of WebmasterWorld, a nice refreshing touch.

The Graphics forum is a place I really need but never visit. Photoshop and Fireworks intimidate me. Raster, vector, echo foxtrot. All sounds terribly important. Lossy, lossless, pixilated, aliasing, dithering...

I'm graphically challenged unless I have a pencil and paper. Dither [dictionary.reference.com] I can understand but how do I apply that to a graphic? ;)

[mivox]

how do I apply that to a graphic?

Open Image.
Apply filter/effect to image.
Deactivate filter.
Toggle filter on and off a few times.
Tweak filter settings.
Toggle filter some more.
Try a slightly different filter.
Tweak.
Toggle.
Go back to filter #1.
Tweak.
Toggle.

Two hours later, decide you really need to start with a new image entirely to really get the effect you're after.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

(And people say using computers is the "lazy" way to create art! HA!)
