Look'n good Craig.
I'm like a kid in a lollie shop, ok big kid.

Mick

P.S. how do you guys do this?

[Craig]

first i cut around the image in Gimp, then i editted the image with Picasa, then i erased the sections i didnt want and editted colours in Gimp, then i save it , then i editted the white and black colours in windows, and thats about it

[Handy Mick]

Oh is that all?

Craig I can't imagine you having a gimp, but i spose you do.
Who else has one? I bet every one does, except me.

Well i better get my gimp and try this thing.

Mick

Takes quite a while to get used to it but it is a very good program and its free

Here's one based off Pups tree

damn that's huge.... how do I make it smaller

As for how I do it, I use photoshop and basically draw over the top using multiple layers for each section (trunk,pot, etc)

To me, you guys are geniuses, computer masters!
A bit different to the atari

Thanks Benny

No problem mate Are you happy with that? It's fairly easy to make any changes.

I don't know about the genius thing, you get a fair bit of practice when you need to use these programs for a living

[Handy Mick]

Hey benny if it is possible and not to hard, could you try with a red circle behind it?
Maybe also with our club name, Southern Highlands Bonsai Group, somewhere.
You guys are doing a top job!

Mick

P.S. what does everyone think? What changes would you make?

[benny350]

Your making it too easy for me I can still change anything easily (fonts etc) if its not quite what your after. This is at half res just to make posting easier, once we nail the final design I will post up the full size version.

[Handy Mick]

Benny i'm loving this!!!
Do you have anything else in mind? do you sugest something different?
I don't know what you are capable of, it seams like anything.

Mick

[Handy Mick]

Just looking, what if you make the red circle maybe 1/2 size smaller or 1/3 smaller and placed to top right? but still cover most of tree.
Off centre i mean.
