When I log in, I'm greeted with a notice "Your Profile is 0% Complete." So I click 'complete my profile,' and get a dialog with a couple blank spaces (I don't have Instagram or Snapchat) and list my favorite teams, which I do. BUT . . . When I click 'Next' I'm booted out of the Profile editor, and it still says my profile is 0% complete. Where should I go, what should I click?

Of course, please don't take me too seriously. Darth Brooks posted did post some very interesting, in-depth topics on the first couple pages ... but now it's been FOUR years since I first posted in here. I'm not ENTITLED to any one-on-one lessons, I know that. But there are some very talented people here ... hell, I'd be happy with a quick drive-by and a sentence or two from them. It's not just this site, I posted some of these same images on another site's "Photoshop help" thread ... in 6 months all I got was ONE post, with just ONE word: "Rasterize." I looked up its meaning, it had something to do with bitmap images. But I'm still not sure what it meant.

Nuggets logo and uniform history (from two years ago obviously). Dunno what advice I'm looking for here ... the hardest part was wiping away other players in the shots - Alex English good example. Almost that entire background was imported to cover over other players. OHHH!!! Had to draw in Antonio McDyess's (#24) right arm and left hand ... that's HORRIBLE! Looks like I used the Crayola crayon 8-pack box Ok, THIS I could use real help on. It's so hard to reduce the size of images and still keep some quality ... this thing raised a very specific problem: The fingerboards of the guitars - the taper slightly narrower as you do up from the body of the guitar to the headstock. Problem is, with such small images, the taper narrows pixel by pixel, and each one is VERY noticeable. It's jarring. If you look close you'll see what I mean. Don't know what I can do to smooth out this kind of problem. I tried editing a large image, then reducing it's size ... but reducing has problems all it's own of course.

Just a collection of old uniforms to prove to the youngsters that 40 years ago, not every team was either Navy Blue or Black! Not sure what kind of advice I'm looking for here ... the two images are the same, except in the lower one I enlarged Elway and super-imposed his helmet on the upper row. Don't much care for the look of that here, but expanding heads and arms outside the image boundaries worked well on the Nuggets thing above.

There's lots of professionals on this site, so I'm hoping for some lessons (or at least tips) on Photoshop-ing. This is just a photo of the Saint Monica statue in Santa Monica California - (where Wilshire Blvd ends at Ocean Blvd.) I "style-ized" the photo into a Windows desktop image (tinted the left quarter for desktop icons) Of course everything from the original photo is scrubbed and cleaned - then "style-ized" - the grass, the sand, the fence, the water, the clouds. Not sure what kind of advice I'm looking for on this one. I hyper-contrasted the original photo too (obviously). .............. Good example here of something I could use help with: Truly INCREDIBLE photo (original above), but I wanted Tom Osborne CENTERED in the shot. So I expanded the left margin, then created additional "content" to fill that expansion: 1) Mostly drew in the Buffalo-handler on the left side, then blurred (and blurred and blurred) 2) #26 Cornhusker - the arm and shoulder on the left is a flipped image of the other arm 3) #8x behind #26 is a flipped image of #89 between Osborne and #26 in the original - changed the jersey number, facemask, face, mouthguard, collar. Looks pretty good, but it could be better - especially the Buffalo handler. GIVE ME SOME CLUES, PLEASE.

My favorite athlete Lafayette 'Fat' Lever.

Even in his 50s and 60s, this was just wrong.

Another reason the Yankees pinstripes work is their SOLID DARK NAVY LOGO. Never a problem reading that one .... meanwhile the Rockies' ridiculous outlined letters are one of the worst uniform design flaws I can think of. They couldn't even fill in the letters with a deep gray or silver, sad. But PURPLE. Are there any pro or college teams that actually wear true purple? Equal red and blue mix? I don't think so ... every "purple" is 2-to-1 or 3-to-1 mix blue over red. The Ravens, Vikings, Lakers, Suns, Raptors, LA Kings, Kansas State, Washington, Northwestern, Texas Christian, even East Carolina - NONE are even very close to true 50-50 blue-red PURPLE. Even BROWN has the Padres, Browns and Wyoming Cowboys.

. They've worn them a few times ...... But ... Again .... the Warriors are NOT a City or a Town. They are a . State! .

. . . . . .. . Everybody and their brother seems to love these kinds of alternates ... but not me. For the Warriors ... first off, they're a STATE team, GOLDEN State. Not a City. It would be like calling the Rangers "The Dallas Rangers." Plus, they're moving from Oakland to San Francisco next year, which to me (admittedly from a distance) raised all kinds of "bad neighborhood" stereotypes. The Nuggets alternate ... ecchh. Crayola blue. Especially bad when they have (imo) two of the all-time awesome alternates:

It might be the 4th oldest ballpark, but it underwent MAJOR, and very SUCCESSFUL renovations in the mid-90s. It's a nice park.

This really is a Canadian website ... I mention the word "competition," and a seven+ page thread grinds to a 5-month halt!

GREAT IDEA .... I'm thinking as a competition ... users design all-original logo and uniforms for a team, and everybody votes (various categories).....??

Help me with this one guys ....... is the following IRONY or PARADOX ? You sign up on a Forum dedicated to creative design and colorful logos and uniforms ... you notice a good number of the members are highly skilled and knowledgable in these areas, seem like many are professional draftsmen or graphic designers. B U T .... when you post in a Photoshop thread hoping for a few tips, all you get are crickets. For almost TWO YEARS! IRONY, PARADOX, or a pencil-neck running a thinly-veiled BITCHFEST ? .
