D-Day
- The fleet crossing the English Channel into Normandy took forever to get there because all of the units on-screen took up too much bandwidth.
- Weren't the Allies on dialup? Try adding a few more icons to the unit box (there's only one there now, and I have no idea what it's supposed to be. That happens a lot). Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 21:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I burning your dog
/me cringes for expected reaction • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 00:10, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- The blur makes my brain hurt. The bottom half of the man, and the field are blurry? So, he's running (in standing position), while his body and the fire and the dog all move at the same speed. I like the concept of lighting family pets on fire, but this image could benefit if nobody in it was running. Except maybe the dog. Unless the dog is doing something else. That's up to you really. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 00:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. Find a non blurry background and use that instead. De-blur the soldier's lower half as well; he doesn't need to be moving or appear to be moving for the image to work. -OptyC Sucks!
CUN00:23, 7 May
- You really think the blur is bad? I thought it enhanced the whole speed element... You know, the camera's moving, motion blur... that sort of thing. Plus it's friggin' hard to find a pic of a dog running with no blur. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 00:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Chop the dog into a static background. The problem is that it looks like the camera should be still. The soldier is standing in a static pose (feet together and planted), blurring his legs just makes it look bad. Great concept though. -OptyC Sucks! CUN00:42, 7 May

- Do you still have the MSpaint window open? It might look better saved as a png (or as a jpg by another program). --monika 00:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- addendum: I'd say the only two issues with it are the jpeg artifacts and the lack of a shadow/reflection for the boat, and the shadow/reflection issue would be best solved in photoshop, possibly detracting from the MSpaint charm. --monika 00:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- What Mon said (Mon insists that I use that name). MSPaint does have its uses. Evil ones, mostly. Just remember to get GIMP or Photoshop if you plan to ever not do evil. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 03:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
The shadow will be added. it will still look like a JPG, but ill save it as a png. ~ NEZLR 03:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Eh, it's too late now then. The artifacts aren't that bad, and since they're already there, there's no benefit to the png format. It's a really cute picture, by the way. --monika 09:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
"Modern Pope"

- Well, for starters, go put a "baseball cap" on (backwards) and check yourself out in a mirror. Does your hair look the same as before the hat was put on? Probably. This, not so much. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 00:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks alot. I knew there's something wrong yea and its the hat. I'll try to work on this again and as you said will try a hat myself. ahh, I love this picture. Its there, almost. --Allahgator 20:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- Haha! The Pope's head looks a bit big and I think has a slightly different contrast to the main image. Apart form that, awesome idea. -- Hindleyite Converse 18:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! Made the head a tad smaller and tried to play with the contrast but not sure if I got it right. --Allahgator 22:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- I know there's something still wrong with the cap, umm, I tried fixing it but cant. --Allahgator 00:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps it would be easier to find a different photo of someone wearing a hat whose head is in the exact same position? That's generally what I do in these kinds of situations, even if having to give up on a particular source image sometimes makes me sad. --monika 00:44, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, everyone is clearly from different sources when you look at it larger. Of particular concern is the guy who is second-from-right, he looks way messed up at any size. The light source is also very clearly coming from different places for a couple of them, the aforementioned guy included. Plus, at VFP, I'm sure at least some of the users wouldn't get it. I didn't.~~ Sir Ljlego, GUN [talk] 20:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's a man named "Lenin", Lj. He was this really important character in this song by The Bealtes. Back In The Is A Warm Gun, or something. I agree though. Lenin and Putin look terrible. The top of Putin's head is too blurry. Lenin's head is at a very strange angle. The face between Lenin and Stalin (a Kzar...?) has some weird black outline above it. Oh, also, this is more of a "Oh, I see what's going on here." and less of a "Ha ha ha ha ha Russia!". In fact, much less of the latter. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 00:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Shroom Clouds

It's supposed to be like drug mushrooms in a plastic bag, only they are mushroom clouds instead of mushrooms.RPBnimrod
- Ah. Try making them appear to be in the bag. Currently, they just look on it, which is silly. (copy the background bag pick and use it as a "lighten" mask over the original bag and the mushroom clouds, so that only its highlights will appear. Play around with its transparency) Also, lose the short, white ones (they look like hats). What's the brown stuff in the bag? Is that the drugs? Shouldn't it be just mushrooms in the bag? What, mushrooms are the drugs too?! Well, I never! Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 17:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

- When 'chopping, try to make the edges of an image match the shape of that image. See the "edge" of the pill? It's all lumpy, rather than round at the ends, and flat on the sides. Instead of negative cutting (where you cut away everything that isn't the pill), try positive cutting. Select the circle select tool (or whatever it's called), select one end (where one hemisphere of the circle matches one end of the pill). Shift-select the same on the other end (so that it's masking both at the same time. Pick the lasso, or line-select tool and shift-select the flat parts. Now you've selected the entire pill, copy and paste as a new layer. Ta-da! No lumps. It may take some practice to pull off (Ctrl-Z is your friend). Good luck, if you're using a mouse. Mice suck. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 21:17, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's closer, but the dark portions of the pill are too dark (it's outside under the sky, but it doesn't look like it is). Try playing with brightness/contrast until it looks like it was there in the first place. The top of the pill should be brighter (as it is facing the sky), and there's still some messy edging around it (the black band on the top). As for VFP, I'll warn you: I've been here for almost three weeks now, and I still have no idea what will do well there. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 06:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- The Rapid Death doesn't look quite the same as everything else, see how it looks blurry. The land of make-believe doesn't believe in me:( 13:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Basketball
- Play with the contrast of the basketballs so that they match the painting's faded tones better. Maybe add a hoop in the background. Also, on reefer desk we don't help with captions. We can't, that's caption desk's duty. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 22:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- Not only the contrast, but also look for a filter (if you're not against that kind of thing) which puts it on a canvas, play with that a bit. Just an idea.-~~ Sir Ljlego, GUN [talk] 02:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Megadeth's ever-changing lineups
Also:
and for reference: The unshopped image that appears before all of them in the article.
Yeah, I'm submitting 4 nearly identical pictures at the same time. Fishing for comments on the physically-taping-heads-over-an-existing-picture effect and what might be done to improve it, and on the general progression of the pictures through the article. --monika 23:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I take it that this "Megadeth" has had some lineup changes? I'm not familiar with this band. I mostly listen to polka, myself. It's a lifestyle, really.
- Try converting one (or more) of the taped on faces to halftone (like a newspaper), or play with the colour balance so that it's more obvious at a glance that they're not from the original pic (the first one, especially). Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 00:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- So my intention was to make the edits gradually more careless as the article went on. I use a black and white Al picture and an overexposed Jimmy picture in the 3rd picture here, and in the fourth, have one cut-n-pasted head on top of an existing cut-n-pasted head. I'd like to take your comment that the first one is not so obviously an edit as a compliment and an indication that I'm doing it right, with your permission, of course. --monika 00:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ah. I mistook "general progression". On a side note, I served under General Progression when we stormed the beaches at Normandy back in '85. Boy were the French surprised. I know this because one said "Quelle surprise!" after I poked him with my bayonet. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 01:04, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

- The head is too small for the body (see the head width vs shoulder width?), he's got no neck, the contrast for each is different (see the black of the swastika and the black of his eyebrows?

- It's not all that cheesy. Try making it more like a 3d piano made of cheese, with shadows and whatnot. Things like the underside of the lid should be darker than the upper surfaces of other things like not the lid. There's blood coming out of my ears. Never mind, I'm sure it's nothing. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 04:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- The keys are just one big key! The opacity may need to be turned down a bit in order to get that "darker" thing that Modus is talking about, or you could use that darker tool thingy, if you'd like. Also, the edges need just a dash or two of blur, and I don't mean that you should get your head checked by a jumbo jet. The edges are just too jagged, like some kind of little pill. Also, I hate swiss cheese. Its just rubs me the wrong way. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 15:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

- I'd say just cover the keys up, as though that lid thing that piano's have were closed. Also, there's a bit of something going on beside where the support beam hits the side of the piano.

Unbeknownst to many, Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini tried to make it big as a rock band in the 1920s, producing many hit songs over the years, including the platinum-selling album Mein Kampf. However, in the late 1930s, the band broke up, chiefly because of Stalin's and Hitler's differing views on politics and Eva Braun. Image credit: Necropaxx

I photochopped this for an article I recently came up with (Cosmic Guidance). It's rather silly already with Toms pose and the minimalist composition.

Regards, --BlackInkWriter 13:38, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- The text should line up. See how "Expand" is farther left than "Scientology"? That's bad, generally (unless it's all off kilter, with the lines lining up with Tom's lean). Also, the "Scientology" bit starts off centered, then changes its mind and goes all align left. Madness! Ahh, Thetans! Get 'em off me! Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 14:58, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Use the burn and dodge tool to fix that up, but don't go overboard or you'll ruin everything. Also, it looks unusual with Tom's hand where it is, slightly under the cone, try moving it about until it looks more natural.

Yet another image, I'll get something right eventually. I was just wondering what I could do to improve this pic. eg. Should I remove the two extra "X's" and should I change the images below the title? --Sir Seeker (Call me?) |KUN|VFP| 12:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- It should probably read "Microsoft Flight Simulator xXx: Mile High Club" (with the small-big-small X's from this). The middle image seems too big to me. Granted, I am quite mad. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 07:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- I agree about the middle image, although it could just be that it's too dark for the box design. I'll mess around with that a little bit more, but it's surprisingly hard to find the right "toilet engaged" picture on the net. As for the "Microsoft Flight Simulator xXx: Mile High Club", that might make it a bit crowded, but I'll play around with that as well. Should the X's stay where they are?--Sir Seeker (Call me?) |KUN|VFP| 12:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Everything Modus said. But also, the "AO" rating should be a "G". Just for that extra kick. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 16:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I've dulled it around the edges "toilet engaged" picture, just so it doesn't stand out too much and seems to fit into the picture a little better. Also added an E for everyone rating, and a mouth gag for one of the Wright brothers, so they still fit into the image even if no one recognises them. Plus, just so no one doubts it's authenticity, I added a Microsoft logo down the bottom. However, I still haven't changed the title of it since I don't want it to be too crowded and moving the X's just seems like way too much work. Any other suggestions? (eg. If you still don't like the title, perhaps you could give an example of how I could fit everything in without crowding the image) And also, what's this image's VFP likelihood? --Sir Seeker (Call me?) |KUN|VFP| 10:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I wrote this to help an article I'm writing, and am wondering a few things. First, I changed the caption from the way it is in the article. Is it too textbased? 2nd, do you think it's funny enough to be featured on VFP? 3rd, if not, what can I add (or take away) to make it better. Thank you. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 02:04, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Firnd, it's a good caption. Not like it's evil twin brother. 2th, I have no idea. VFP is a conundrum. A riddle, if you will, where the rules of time and space don't apply. 3st, the shadow that the snail appears to be casting on the sky is a bit odd. Sky shadows are quite rare, you see. The last one I saw was while I was hiking through the Goobermeye mountains. Some people said that there was no such place, but I proved... Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 05:16, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- The castle looks a bit too bright against the rest of the pic, or is that just me? (Yes, I'm not too bright, but is the castle? Oh, never mind) Also, to be a bit pernickety, castles tend to be on hilltops, for the all-round visibility this affords. And the castle seems quite small compared to the trees. Or are they pocket sized Frenchmen, the latest craze this christmas? Or is it just me again? Having said that, I like the caption, and the idea behind the image. --Sir Under User (Hi, How Are You?) VFH KUN 16:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- I added a weapon--a traditional escargot skewer, because the snail didn't seem vengeance-y enough. I fixed the double shadow on the snail, and to answer Under User's comments, yes, they are pocket-sized Frenchmen (Napoleon was a normal sized boy in his country); they are not on a hilltop per se because as Frenchies, they built their castle to be more suited to surrender. Duh. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 00:41, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

- How's this? • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 20:10, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- Better, but do you know what it really needs? A traditional escargot skewer. That would make it perfect...but seriously, it gets the point across as is (the two shadows are differing darknesses, though). Also, it's got a slug with a shell! Imagination is a wonderful thing. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:19, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

The colours in the painting, for instance, are more muted than the ones in the picture (look at the reds in the flag compared to the ones on the beachball). A little fading on the picture portion of the 'chop should help. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 18:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

- It doesn't come across as all that skinish. Try using a wrinkly old person's wrinkly old skin. That's skinish. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 21:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- I actaully tried using "normal skin", off a model. But her skin wouldn't behave for me. So I just used an elephant instead. Human skin doesn't seem to want to do it for me. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 21:52, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I made this for the page linked in teh caption.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 02:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- "The Movie" doesn't pop. The mix of b&w and colour is distracting, as well. It may work better with Dora's head on the James Bondian body. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 02:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- I had noticed the problem with "The Movie." I'm gonna try tinkering with it and whatnot. However, the Dora has to be just Dora, as the movie implies.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 02:44, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, then try to find the characters in colour, maybe? Or make the "circle" the "barrel" from the James Bond intros (you'll probably want to fade it so that it doesn't overwhelm the pic, if that makes any sense). Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 02:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well, actually, the characters were originally in color. I changed them to be B & W. I know I need to fix "The Movie," but I think the real thing I should do is just make it all B & W. The revolver idea is a good one. I assume you mean watermark it. What about artifacts? Are there, like, a lot of them? Because I was considering changing the format to de-artifact it.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 00:12, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, watermark. I was thinking partial transparency, but couldn't put it into words at the time. The pic is riddled with artifacts (around the circle, in the red, etc). I don't know if all B&W would work, but it's not like you can't undo it if it's bad. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 00:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunate when that's the material you're working with. The artifacts were in teh logo before I touched it. Source. They don't detract too much from the overall effect, though, do they?-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 00:31, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- It's not distracting. If you can't find a better source, then go with that you've got. You can clean it up. Whether it's easy or not depends on whether it's easy or not (I try to start with the best image I can find, avoiding this quandry). Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 00:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I am. I puckered up, pulled my pants far higher than they should be pulled, and began experimenting with the fill tool. Found that the magic wand is good. Also, that filling in individual pixels is....not. But it's coming along. Next up is "The Movie."-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 00:52, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
How about now? I cleaned it up a lot, added a shadow to "The Movie" to make it pop more, etc. <s?I'm working on the James Bond thing, but I'm wondering how this looks. I also added the revolver.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 01:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Text...better. Shrink and raise Bond a bit so that his foot isn't visible below the Dora text. This will help "the movie" stick out more. The pistol isn't working for me. Oh, I had the safety on. *BANG*. Call a doctor. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 01:47, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- I thought it was a revolver....silly me. In any case, I kinda like it, but I'm going to move the agent (it's actually not Bond, it's a baseball team logo) as you suggested. What exactly about the gun isn't working for you? Is it the fact that it shot you? I'm not liable for that.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 01:57, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- It doesn't fit. Granted, Bond technically doesn't fit either, but this not fitting is even more not fitting than a simple technically not fitting. I just broke my mind. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 02:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

What can i do about that neck?--AmericanBastard 04:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- You can either play around with the colour balance on the neck, or you can add a layer that's the colour of Harry and add it over the neck semi-transparently. Welcome to 'chopping hell: colour-matching.
- Alternately you can knock down the highs on Harry's chin and forehead (this would make the mistmatch less distracting.
- Or you can just leave the strands of hair that crossed over the neck on the Mariah pic as a layer over Harry, and carefully delete the Mariah around them, leaving Harry visible under the hair. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 05:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Sistine Graffiti
- The painting is out of proportion with the wall. Try using the warp tool to match the outside edges of the painting with the brick lines of the wall (it's close now, but the top is still off. My top is off as well, but that's another story). Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 18:51, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Also, the perspective is rather off. As it gets farther away, it should taper off, not get bigger (as it does now).-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 21:17, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Alright, I fixed the proportion. Also, I have no idea what you're talking about Ljlego. I'm fairly certain the perspective correct. As it gets farther away, the painting gets smaller, yes? -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 00:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- I believe I just restated what Modus said, as it's fixed now. What I meant was that, in the realm of one-point perspective, the edges of the painting should get smaller, creating a somewhat trapezoidal effect, with the wider base closer to the viewer. It used to be the opposite. I have said my
peace piece.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 01:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- So, basically, its perfect now? -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 03:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, I see what's missing, now. It needs a bunch of empty cans scattered at the base of the wall and, at least around here, the graffiti doesn't have a clear edge (it fades more as it gets to the edges...though that may be tough to 'chop). Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 06:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Alas, it is not perfect. Even if you can't do that, you could maybe apply some sort of erosion filter to it so as to make it look more like spraypaint on a brick wall. As of now, it looks more like a front projection. Also, perhaps round off the corners.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 16:03, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- If he applied more of an erosian filter, wouldn't that defeat the concept of the image being painted in fresh spray paint? For me, its the "dude" in the picture. He's too skater board wanna be dude. I dunno, the idea that Michalanglo (sic) would be tried out in this fashion isn't as funny as it would be if the Pope had him audition on (say) the pope's bedroom ("Hey, Micael, you missed a spot inthe corner.") Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 20:58, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Still, even fresh spraypaint doesn't look like a movie projector is creating the image. Fresh spraypaint on a normal brick wall still looks somewhat aged. I don't know, it's just my opinion that what's here looks too clean and altogether unrealistic. Also, there could be a spray of paint coming out of the can, but that's not imperative.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 03:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Wow, I like this one. I bet the council scrubbed it off five minutes leter though. I would suggest one thing though - the painting itself ought to have the bricks showing through a little bit more. -- Hindleyite Converse 15:23, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Took me a month, but I finnally figured out how to erode it a bit in Photoshop. Still need to play with the edges (re:Ljlego) and maybe add a pile of cans (re:Modus). -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 18:08, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Since the original version, I've tweaked the skintone (should match the original image now... my monitor was acting up yesterday), and re-emphasized the deadbolts, complete with little sparkly thingies. Also made his nose fall off, and add a few extra scars to emphasize Frankenstein-ness. That's what I came up with, what else do you think it needs for VFP-readiness?

Re-uploaded without silly little sparks on the deadbolts. Really this whole image is completely breaking the Franklinstein canon, since the article claims he didn't start with the deadbolts until his resuscitation in 1975, but then again who really pays attention to that stuff anyway?

(Sprich mit mir!) 
- If I may, I would like to say something myself. The only thing I can see that's blatantly wrong with the cover is the barcode, which seems far too out of whack for my taste. Also, a more minor gripe, but one nonetheless, the font for the title seems a little too much like Times New Roman, which is to say that it's too angular. Most magazines use a more blocky font. I will run through my computer's fonts and get back to you with the one I believe you should use.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 16:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- It's like the bottom 1/2" has been cut off. Also, you should have used the cover from the previous month. I looked really good. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 19:16, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Lemme rework some things. I got the original, I'm just going to start over and make a new version, probably tomorrow. It's already 11pm now. Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!)
- Ok, I did some stuff. I had to use times new roman, or else download a font for 11 dollars. Times new roman was as close to the original as I could get. Get me Norick or New Prairie and it'd be better. I think the MASTURBATION is too small? Anything else? Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!)
- Mhaille told me to make it bigger and move it. Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!)
- Can't you just google "free fonts"? My graphics app uses the windows fonts. I've never had to pay for a typeface...except that time I needed one at 3am and had to go to the font pimp. But that's another story. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 19:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- I looked and looked and my GIMP uses all the cool fonts I have, but I can't get the two that look like the original. Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!)

- Shouldn't the face be blacker than the clothes? My intentions were to make noel look black; to the extent of Yankie Doodle Dandy. The umlaut I thought was necessary considering the umlaut in Noël Coward. Should i put it on the "e" instead? --AmericanBastard 07:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Dog Fart
This is an image that I created on MS Paint since I don't have Photoshop. I will likely put this on UnNews:A dog saves a failing Kansas School from shutting it's Doors. In the meantime, now that I read HowTo:Get your image featured, and that now that I know MS Paint Pictures have been previously nominated, some even featured, I thought that I might try to get it so it meets VFP criteria. I'd like your suggestions. And I have another question. Do these photos have to be 350px? Because it is a bit blurry at 350px, and it would be clearly visible at a smaller size. Thanks! --Sir Manforman 20:10, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, MSPaint pictures have been featured. No, your chances are slim. The problem with MSPaint is that it looks like crap. The idea, therefore, must be that much more better to overcome the crappiness of an MSP pic.
- No, the pic doesn't have to be 350px. That's merely approximately the size that works best on VFP (it doesn't take up the whole page, nor does it make you squint). I looked at Image:Dog_fart.JPG in its native size, and it still looks bad (MSPaint, remember?). It's all pixely and jaggy and some other word to indicate a general state of not-goodness.
- Also, without the UnNews page, the pic is nonsensical. While that can work, there's a fine line between funny nonsense and nonsense nonsense. This is funny nonsense.
- There's got to be a better paint program for you to use. I know my 'chopping software has paint tools, GIMP probably can do it too. GIMP is free. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 21:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know where I should go on that site. There is a whole bunch of links, and I don't which one actually takes you to the paint. Can you explain how that site works to me? Is it downloadable? Thanks!--Sir Manforman 21:47, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
- Download & documentation. Paint probably won't be a separate program, it will just be tools within GIMP (text, brush, fill, etc). Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 22:08, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

This little devil spawned from a fake box art a friend made on paint. I decided out of boredom to re-make the picture using the GIMP. What's the word on this one? Is the "E10" rating out of scale? Does it just plain suck? Should a different company have made the game? Should I just shut up?--Dr Wilder 20:42, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- Except for the typeface that you used for "Explode!" (which looks like something out of the past), it looks like one of them package thingys you kids carry your computerized games around in. Of course, I don't have one of them newfangled Ninten3DO Dreamstations. 2600 all the way, baby! Woo! Anyone up for Combat? Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I knew going into this that the typeface for "Explode!!!" wasn't as good as it could be. Thing is, I don't know if there's anything too terribly fancy in the GIMP. How could I make the font better?--Dr Wilder 00:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'm a GIMPer, so allow me to take this one. When you select the text tool out of the toolbox, notice underneath there are multiple options. One of these options is to choose the font. It is the top option, and is labeled "Font." Click the icon labeled "Aa" and you will see a list of multiple fonts. Pick the one best suited toward videogames.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 01:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

hilary
I was wondering, should i paste her head on a lumber jack or put her in front of a communist flag? or both? Also how do you make good crops of heads and other things?B0n B0n
- Instead of airbrushing hair on her, try finding picks of hairy people and 'chopping those in the appropriate places. Airbrushing, you see, looks like airbrushing, rather than hair. Try swapping the USA pin with a hammer/sickle one. It might, however, be too subtle. RadX started a HowTo of sorts which may answer your last question, Mister member of the Guild. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 12:05, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Is this any better than before, tell me if you like it, but dont be too critical, the chances are that i cant do any better, im still learning photoshop.B0n B0n
- It's improving, but that monobrow isn't working. Try grabbing an actual monobrow and 'chopping it on. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 05:03, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Is the unibrow working now, please tell me the overall rating of this picture out of 10.
B0n B0n
- Aw, jeez. 6/10, I guess. Hilary jokes are overdone, IMO. The 'brow is better, although even the bushiest unibrow thins out a bit in the middle. You can hardly even notice mine, for instance. That's what my mom says. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 21:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- I was talking about my chopping abilities not the humor of the image. B0n B0n
- Then start at "The 'brow is...". It's kind of a freaky picture, actually. I'm pretty sure that's my shirt. She was gone in the morning and with her...my best flannel shirt. I was saving it for our wedding. But I digress. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 02:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Mona Lisa's Razor
Created for the Norelco article. Eyebrows probably need work but I think the five o'clock shadow turned out decently enough. Megalomaniac Martin “The Unfortunately Unfeatured” Ultima • (VOTE FOR ME!) • talk • (AND MY PICS TOO!) • contribs 16:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Lower the contrast/brighten up the razor a smidge. The razor's black is blacker (or more black) than the black on the painting. Black! It's not casting a shadow, either. It probably should. Things cast shadows, I hear. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 19:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Shadows? Huh? Is that what's stalking me whenever I turn the lights on? Anyway, yeah, I added one of those, and I've played with the contrast a bit... probably still needs work, but does this at least look like a better start?

- Eyebrows generally look like eyebrows, unless you're trying to make it look like she's got 5 o'clock shadow brow, rather than monobrow. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 03:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Wait, they have to look like eyebrows? Wow! Well, uh... mostly it just has to look like she hasn't shaved in forever, if you can give some more specific help I can fix the image.

- I'm not an English majors, and don't know what Tok is, can I still be amused? There's not much that I'd change on the pic.

But yeah, you can be amused, especially since you seem to run this place ;-) I'll probably leave it the way it is, it's a little wide already, and the peeling away alone would be more complex and require more effort than went into the whole thing to begin with.
