I think it came out rather nice! What do you guys think?

i like it......sure looks clean enough to be a 64, too, IMHO

Here's another, plus the first one a bit smaller...I think it was too big.

I have done no real work with Photoshop before about an hour ago and I just banged this one out in under 4 minutes. =D

You have bragging rights.

<< You have bragging rights. >>

Thanks!! I was REALLY confused for a while (about thirty minutes), before I finally figured everything out. I still do my basic editing such as color correction in Picasa, but perhaps I can switch to Photoshop now.

Nice pics. They seem a little dark to me. One thing that I have noticed over time is that I need to make pictures a little lighter when I place them on a background. They look just fine with the slab, but when you cut them out they suddenly become a little dark. The brightness will add a little "pop" to them.

Thanks Mark!

Well done

<< Well done

Thanks a lot! I do have one question though. When the snap feature is turned on, I have a hard time snapping to the right side of the left circle when trying to transform the selected area. It wants to jump to the middle area between the two circles. Any idea on how I can fix that? As of now, I have to turn off snapping for that side, which is annoying, to say the least. lol

Thanks again for your template!

try starting by lining up the left image on the right side of the guide first then scale to the left... that should help.

I was thinking you'd say that. I was just hoping there was someway I could put a snap to marker in the template itself or something. Thanks though!

Ok guys, which one of these two do you prefer? Do you think the label is distracting, or does it add to the photo by giving you all the information without a full slab shot?
