Banners

[Freypower]

Mybannermaker.com isn't all that much better than Photobucket when it comes to effects but at least you can have more fonts. The problem with the PB effects is its hard to know which photo would work with which effect (and you don't want the photo to be unrecognisable). I wish I could do the 'layer' thing but I am resigned to not being able to now.

I'm sorry that PhotoPlus doesn't seem to be helping people... I haven't got a clue what the lack of memory message means, I'm afraid. It's a shame, because I find PhotoPlus to be excellent. The layers thing truly isn't that tricky once you grasp the concept and know the few buttons you need to use.

I really like the creations so far, though. FP, Soda used the right word - the Glenn signature you posted is definitely "striking". Love it.

I've got Photoplus and even though Lou personally showed me how to make banners I still can't figure it out. Well, I kinda had it figured out when she was here but I forgot how to do it. I'll admit that I haven't given it much of a chance since then but I will take a crack at again soon.

I got it to work! I'm not sure how... I was getting the memory message also, gave up, uninstalled Photoplus and installed Photoscape, as I had played with it before and TBF recommended it. But I still couldn't figure out the layering thing, so...today I had some time on my hands, went directly to the PhotoPlus site http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/photoplus/
and downloaded from there instead of using Troub's link and it worked! From there I followed her instructions and came up with the work of art you see below! My picture of Joe had a dark background instead of a white one, so multiply did not seem to work for me, but I just played around until I got something I liked the looks of.

Thank you again Lou! What took a few minutes would have taken me weeks to figure out!

It is gorgeous Pm. Love it.

I still haven't gotten the hang of it.

Nor me, and i'm ashamed to say.........I've given up, there's no way!

Cathy - that makes me happy! I'm glad my instructions helped a bit. GREAT first effort! Lovin' the autumnal feel.

TG, I keep meaning to comment on your sig, too. Nothing better than Don + nature for me!!

Well done, Cathy!

Well, when I read Troub's post I just figured everyone was getting the memory error message. But if you're actually able to download it and start a new project, then Troub's instructions work if you follow them to the letter. I had this thread pulled up the whole time so that I could constantly refer to her instructions.

Thanks everybody!
