Help With Wore Down Technique

SinSpawn

<div class="IPBDescription">prefably psp7</div> I do have adobe but I can't really use it at all.

What I need help on is that i am makinga board game instructions manual leaflet and I want it to look like an old book, you know the type you see in medieval times (make syou wonder, could they not have taken better care)

like this <a href='http://www.stockade-supply.com/graphics/paper-karenfoster/kf6340x.jpg' target='_blank'>Example picture of old book</a>

And here is what I have now

I'd also like it to have a sort of leather effect :/

That looks horribly blurred, Jimmeh.

SinSpawn

It started to load than the image just went *POOF* but I saw it using another window, thats more or less the effect I'm looking for, I'll upload a png file of the original and redo that one as it is better quality.

EDIT: it does look blurred? is their a reason or was itbecause of the jpg file.

Bumpy Bumpy, just to let you know the job is still open, thank you please.

so basically you need grunge and/or scratch brushes. I have some for photoshop if you need them <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

If you could please, I just can't really use graphics programs to do anything except for cutting out pictures and making squares dance

Someting to give it a similiar look to an old book as the 1st post has the link to an image of an old book.

So you want the color changed as well?

Do you have a better image set for us to start with? It would really be much easier to do if we just had all the parts of the image (title, picture, background, and lettery things) seperate, otherwize we are somewhat restricted to pretty much what jimmeh already did...

Keeping the same style of colour would be good, think of it as an olde book but red not the usual brown.

And if possible can yu keep a backup copy of the background (after being texturised) because I need to make a cover as well.

Thanks in advance.

when saving .pngs... remember to check the "transparentcy" thingy <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I think this could take longer than I thought...could some one help me faster via communication (msn)

is there a way to upload the image and still have it layered while still allowing you guys to open the file, cause I don't know any otherfile formats that allow layered images without flattening them down to 1 layer.

Unless you can open a .psp file that would just be so much better.

StarStarGrizzly

rar or zip the psp

SinSpawn

if you can open the .psp file here it is

check around here: <a href='http://www.good-tutorials.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.good-tutorials.com/</a>

Should have lots of tutorials you could use

Sorry, I've been frigging busy recently... I'm trying to see what I can do right now. My version probably won't be the best one, but I'll get it up here as soon as possible anyways.

[edit]I've hit a stuck spot. Gimp won't open up your psp's (most likely not your fault) and the peicework images are ok, except I can't work with the ring at all without proper transparentcy on the background (as if I try to rip all the white out of it most of the shine gets converted to transparent too)

The background and the other parts work fine, I just rip the white and black to alpha, but I can't start the meat an patatoes of this project until I get a clean image of that ring, since it is the centerpeice and the part that fudges up most if you just apply wear to the whole image evenly.

SinSpawn

the ring can be easily searched on google, I did.

not sure but this could be the same one really, just cutted out

that last one looks great

SinSpawn

Oh enf0rcer...*sobs* you've made me so happy

Have a cookie *gives enf0rcer CoolCookieCooks*

Edit: as this is the front cover of the leaflet, I still haven't planned out what the back part of the leaflet should look like, but it should still carry on the worn out theme.

Note: Can't believe I named the thread title wore down instead of worn out...god I not thinky good.
