<font color=lime>Does anyone have the right stuff to make the cat in my sig black, while keeping the smooth, textured, "realistic" look? </font>

Photoshop, open it up, select the cat in each layer, paint over it with paintbrush set to 45% opacity, save it and open up in Imageready and save as gif...

I'd do this for you but it's late and I have to go to work at 8 tomorrow...

Maybe when I get back if someone else hasn't already done it [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hehehe, trying to make a lil' Drizzt? [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=lime>Jorath, I wish I did have Photoshop. It can wait, if you would be so kind sir.

Jaradu, how did you guess? :D </font>

Ill give it a go Lord K, but from what ive seen, the cat wont look too good completely black, so do you mind if its almost black but a bit lighter??? Im guessing you want it to look like a drow??
By the way, Im using Fireworks, so it is a bit more difficult...But I like a challenge.

http://img45.exs.cx/img45/6096/cat10.gif Ummm, am I a wizard now :D
Tell me if its crap, and ill try again.

*EDIT Hmm it seems a litle different on the forum, well here it is, I will erase the white bits in a while, sorry, but im tired. It doesnt look dark enough does it :( Ill make it darker ok??? But if you want it like that I can keep it that way. Just tell me.

<font color=lime>Wow! Looks awesome! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]
If you could make it black, even the tail, that would be great!
Thanks fro the work bro. :D </font>

<font color=lime>I just found this gif, the shading and color is what I was hoping for mine. Thought it might help... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well here is a darker version

Im not the best when it comes to this stuff, I can change the color of the eyes if you want, to make it look more evil or something.

*EDIT This version is more of a grey than a black, do want it like this or blacker, also, how would you like the tail?
Hmmm, here is one with cool eyes :D

<font color=lime>I love it. Thank you very much kind sir.
As far as the eyes, maybe like a dim silver?
The red is cool, but not realistic. ;)
Otherwise its perfect! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] </font>

<font color=lime>Oh ya, will that software correctly reverse a gif like this, so the kitty is facing left? I would assume not, but just asking. :D </font>

Yeah sure, ill do that today. (reverse it)

Alright, I did it at school...
Here you go
The reversed with silver eyes.

Drizzt, is now officially a member! [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/superdude.gif[/img] </font>

Hey does this mean im a wizard now??? :D

All Hail HiveTyrant the wizard of Oz!

You didnt have to paint over it, the "replace color" and Linear Burn would've worked too and a lot faster [img]tongue.gif[/img]

haha, yeah, I ended up doing that once I realised how, and learnt about a few other nifty features too.

<font color=lime>Yes, Hive, you are now a wizard! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]

BTW, what software did you use?
And, does anyone have an opinion on The Digital Darkroom?
I have cought a PBS show a couple times with a guy doing little tutorials with this software, looks really cool. He had a trick mouse pad that sat in front of him and the actuall mouse was a pencil type deal. You guys seen this? </font>

Woo Hoo Im a [img]graemlins/merlin.gif[/img] Yay [img]graemlins/magic.gif[/img]
I use Macromedia:Fireworks, I used to use Photoshop, and paintshop pro, but I prefer Fireworks for some reason.
The Digital dark room is interesting, but nothing interesting.
