Did you get the examples of how to use the paint bucket I sent you? MSPaint has bucket, doesn’t it? Much easier than a pixel at a time, but I can’t wait to see what you’ve got so far. 🙂 ---

Did you get the examples I sent you of how to use the paint bucket? ---

Dang. I thought I got it all out by using threshold. Looking very tight! You can still block out the larger areas with color like in examp1 and fill in to save time. Then you just have to worry about the cleanup. You’re doing a great job, though! 🙂 Thanks for the peak. ---

Ooh, how frustrating that I can’t see the image while you all talk back and forth about it. This is just like when you overhear some people nearby speaking in a foreign language and laughing - you just want to know what they’re talking about, even though it’s not really any of your business anyway. ---

🙂 I don’t want to be emailed. That was my point, it’s all so semi-public a conversation. But I’m just being nosey. Don’t mind me. ---

Ahh, it’s ok. Maybe I should post it on the web. I had a good reason why I didn’t want to post it - which is why I was emailing it to everyone - but now I seem to have forgotten. If I don’t remember and no one reminds me by tomorrow I’ll post it. ---

Thank you all very much. I really appreciate it and there’s no way I could’ve done it without you. Anyone want to see the final product or offer touch-ups or suggestions before I put this on t-shirts for me and my friend? ---

Err, I just remembered the .bmp is about 8.4 megs. The .jpg is around 800k but it’s not going to look as good. Which one do you want? ---

> [@harmless](#): > > Awesome! 🙂 Thanks! It looks really pixelated (especially his blue hoodie) but that’s just because I had to shrink it to make it fit on the screen. The image on my computer is really clear. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-good-with-photoshop/275923.md?page=1)
