Thanks stephyrose. I resized the image and it worked for the first pic, but when I try to paste the other ones they turn out really small you can't hardly see them. The originals of them are exactly the right size/pixels that i need - I just need them all on the one page if that makes sense. I can adjust them with the transform tool, but then the pixel quality gets totally out of whack and does not look nice. When I try to change image size, it changes it for the other pic as well. I hope that makes sense...

Am I doing something wrong?

Maybe your not zoomed in to 100%? That can happen if your canvas is too large.

Does anyone else have the problem of Photobucket blurring their artwork once it has uploaded?

Anyone?

[MissOlivia22]

No I haven't have that problem.

Are you sure when your saving them originally that your saving them in a high quality. I had a problem once that when I saved it, the JPEG options came up and I didn't put it into a high quality, but i didn't notice. When I copied the IMG codes onto here, they were really bad quality.

Am I making sense?

Great tutorials guys Can someone help me im new to making banners and ive made this in Adobe Photoshop. I would be very grateful.

I have a few questions:

1. In the banner you can see the pattern that i have added has gone over the girl's faces, i want the face to be more visible but pattern still to be dark and seen. The problem i had was that if i changed the opacity the pattern and the photo would change brightness altogether. If i darkened you can see the pattern but no longer the face what shall i do?

2. In the banner you can see edges of the photo and that the womens hair looks a bit jagged how do i crop smoothly and to get rid of these edges so it doesnt appear in the banner?

[Zetti]

For the first problem use the eraser to get rid of the pattern on the faces so you still have the pattern in the background and for the second problem, use the rectangle marquee tool at about 22 px for feather and use that to blend the two images together, hope that helps.

Thanks Zetti i will try that out later. So when i use the eraser tool it wont erase the girls face would it?? and what do you mean by feather?
