First of all, hello all! This is a great site you've got here!

Okay, I've got two questions;

1. In Mark's "Mercator" tute, on style 2, how does he get that posterised effect on the adjustment layer to be so "even"? When I try it does this,

Which makes sense, because a radial gradient disperses from the center point... however Mark seems to have a more oval shaped raidial gradient;

What simple setting am I missing? [stuned]

2. Why does the picture in my sig show up fine in IE, but appear to "flash" instead of turn in Netscape based browsers? What's the difference?

Please help, thanks :)
 
Welcome

Welcome to the board Mighty Max. Youll soon get tyhe anwser you want im sure, been a long time here on that tutorial and dont remember much about it.Have fun here.
 
Welcome to the community <ightyMax, hope you enjoy your stay. [honesty]

You need to just keep reading the tute MightyMax... you stopped just short of finding out how to 'flatten' those rings.

In Step 6 : "Click on the 'grad sphere' layer to make it the active layer. Apply the "Spherize" filter..." You'll find out. ;)

And your animation is probably moving too fast to be fully rendered by the NS browser. A general rule about animations is to make then only 12 FPS, and make the minimum time lapse be only 0.5 sec./frame. The FPS is a pretty tight rule, but the time lapse speed can be twiddled with a little, + or -.
 
lol, thanks, I spent so long trying to find out what you'd done that I forgot to read on ;\ And I'll try and fix the animation, thanks.
 
turns out it was an issue with transparency with the signature pic, it's fixed now :) (well, I just removed the transparency, so it's not exactly fixed)...

Oh well, I learned a lot about PhotoShop, so it's ok!

Thanks for the kind welcome also, it is much appreciated :)
 
Great results MightyMax! :righton:

And, during the process, you learned a lot, and isn't that what it's all about? ;)
