nothing specific to blog about, but just to let you know that i'm still alive and kicking. =/
had msn lab test which i amazingly failed on tues.
had the stupid impression that i didn't need to configure MSTP on the ALS switches to have MSTP running.
so even when i completed about 60-70%, it was still considered as failing. =/
but luckily i failed, cos even if i passed on my first try, also 60-70.
then the retest supposedly didn't cap at 50, and i got 95. hoho.
dhcp snooping binding didn't work, for some reason.
with that said and done, the only thing left to deal with is WLT theory paper.
shouldn't be too difficult to deal with, but a little no mood to study seh.
going school tml to copy out my notes since i can't get things done at home.
need to stock up on stationery too, but quite retarded since it's only for the last paper. -.-
have been messing around with photoshop quite a bit, so i shall show my work here.
to show off. =xx
figured that i needed a new signature to use for the forums, so..
i got the following two pics from hirano aya's site.
i always use her photos as display pics, etc etc cos she's nice to look at, and i'm just lazy to change to other stuffs. LOL.
i erased the hiranoaya.com using Healing Brush tool.
then i used the Magic Wand tool to select the silhouette of hirano in the diary picture.
after selecting, i cut it out and pasted it into the hiranoaya.com picture, and added whatever text that i wanted, merge all the layers together to get the below picture.
but it's a little plain, so i created a layer by cutting out everything, leaving the background as blank.
added a Hue/Saturation layer of Saturation 20.
added a Contrast layer of 20 as well.
then added a layer of Curves, tweaked the lines.
and then added a Lens Correction filter, -100 to Vignette, changed the opacity to 70%.
added another layer of Hue/Saturation to make it a little sepia, changed the opacity to 50%.
and finished up with a final layer of solid hot pink/magenta to have a little subtle pink, opacity 5%.
last of all, i added a border around the picture cos it simply looks weird without one.
and tadahh...
lols. i'm too lazy to do a proper step-by-step tutorial on how to get that effect, since i'd have to screenshot every step.
but google helps a lot la.
learnt all that from a little search in google. keke.
okay, go sleep liao.
buhbyes. :)
