check the blur filters and play around with them; radial blur, motion blur etc… play around with it - that’s what I call practice :beam: ---

Soulty do you just use photoshop for the general graphics of ur site? If so please help me out. I have read books and they are mainly just on photo editing, not creating graphics from scratch. DO u have any book u can recommend that will show how to create nice graphics for web from scratch. Thanks. Mike. ---

hey mlkedave , for most general things created for my current site , i use a mixture of illustrator and photoshop, actually alot of it was vector graphics. I havent actually purchased any photoshop books so i wouldnt be able to recommend you to any. I can advice you to look at the tutorials for photoshop featured here at kirupa and the many sites listed by lost here… [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13133](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13133) there should be enough there to help you create some graphics from scratch. 😉 cheers .soulty
