Glenn & Rachael?

Cheap fix for your lazy-ass clipping path:

After clipping, select the white area with the magic wand.
From the menu: Select>Modify>Expand. Enter 3 pixels
From the menu: Filter>Blur>Gaussian. Enter 1.7 pixels
Bingo. Exact numbers may vary according to image size.

Of course, more could be done, but I assume you are really in a hurry, here.

Neko Case.

There it is. Points to BLT and Niv.

That looks even worse than the problem you're trying to solve.

arguably, I suppose.

Good call, done and uploaded. The only downside here was that I had to flatten all layers in order to magic wand the white. Would there be another way to do that without flattening? FYI - My layers were, in descending order, Glen's hand, Neko, the path around Glen that gave me the white background, and the image of glen with prior companion cut out on the bottom layer.

In Photoshop, the Magic Wand tool has an option called 'use all layers' which makes it, well, use all layers. I do that all the time.

I'm using Fireworks.

edit: I guess I can do it one layer at a time though.

For stuff like this, I use Printshop because it's quick and dirty. I use the edge blur tool like Spud used. I just try to cut a little further from the edge than KMS did.

With that said, guess who?

Did anyone ever get the naked guy one?

Adam!?

Niv got it.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Oh. So, the only connection to aardwolves was the wolf. Ok.

Billy's Little Trip wrote:Did I make [aardwolves] too hard?

No it wasn't hard, just bad.

As for that Adam one, which Adam is it? There are four bands it could be in the songfight archive: Adam Adamant, Adam Dachis, Adam David Roberts, and Adam Edwards. My band name is not 'Adam'; that's MY name.

EDIT: You know, I realize now that I just misunderstood this thread. I thought it was band name literalisms, but it actually "use pictures to describe a user on the sf! boards", which is why you included all the girl/glasses stuff for aardwolves, and the maple-leaf (which was clever). That's fine, it's just not the same game I thought we were playing. I get it now.

This was the original, Adam. But I thought it might give it away.

Neko Case.

I bought one of those in Japan but I could not read the instructions and didn't know I had to put air holes in it .

This one is cheating a little--may require a little playing around with the words and sounds:

I didn't know there was any such thing as aardwolves before. I thought the name was just a combination of aard (from aardvark) and wolves...

Too easy. Melvin (mail van).

What a catastrophe. You should have just poked some holes in it's back so it could breath.

Winner.
