It's nice the way it is thanks for making it.

First, divide the image into three parts:



The red and blue are on the same layer, yellow is on a separate layer.

Each layer should look like this:

Red and Blue raster layer:


Yellow raster layer:


Select the yellow layer and copy the image inside the selection.
Delete the yellow image so you can see the red and blue layer, but keep it selected.
Add an inside feather to the selection.
Paste the copied yellow layer into the selection.
This should blend the edges of the yellow layer with the red and blue layer bellow it.
Now switch to the red and blue layer and select the area directly below the yellow layer.
Either add a blur or softening.
The finished result should look something like this:



Then just merge this image with the one you made earlier. ^_^

Thanks for the advice... I tried it out... and it ended up looking a bit weird.
I guess I am not applying the technique correctly?

Mmm, well, I am gonna see if I can figure out Palsa's technique, you can then decide whether you like version 2 or version 1 better... more choices, the better, right?

The more choices the better I'l be waiting for version 2.

I applied Palsa's technique... and I think this is what he was suggesting. It's definitely less messier!

Where the three images join, try using a larger number on the feather, like 10 or 20.
That will give the edges a softer look.
When it's done, I suggest merging it with a similar image done using the same method as the first one that you made.
I'm going to try and make an example signature using this method, I'll post it when it's done. ^_^

The second one does indeed look alot better than the first one.

[Palsa-San]

This is one that I did using that method:



Here is another one that I did using a similar method, but this time the pictures are vertical:



And this is what happens when you merge both images:



This is what you get after merging the result image with the first image:



When you merge two images that were made using different methods, you can sometimes end up with a slightly softer result.

And here's another result after a bit of tinkering:

Unfortunately, after cutting certain frames out it still had around 100 frames.
And the best way for me to take screen caps is with Windows Movie Maker.
But that would mean that I'd have to take a single picture for each frame.
If I had decided to keep the whole scene, we'd be looking at around 200 frames at the very least.
But what really gets on my nerves is that Jasc Animation Shop is supposed to take AVI, WMA and MPG files, but it doesn't.
If it did, then all I'd have to do is load the video directly into Jasc, and then edit it, but since it doesn't, I have to go with screen caps.

Sorry for the late reply, I had been really busy, so I haven't had a chance to play with Photoshop.

Anyway, I made Bara-Bara less glowy and did a few things.



Thanks again for the technique, Palsa, would give you another cookie... but you know how the system work... ^^;

[•••Shadow•••]

I think it really looks very awesome.
Well we can't ever expect bad things from Palsa-san.

okay ...
here is a request for a signature ...
since I'm not good in such things...

Both sigs would be

Pixel: 445x225
please ...

and this one
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...5783zu3wq7.jpg
write in "Samira" please <<

and there "Bastillia"
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...maiden1128.jpg

If you - whoever will do me the favor - want he/she/it can write in "made by (his/her/it nick)" because ... they are for other forums so everyone can see it's not made by me x3

And I'm sorry that I don't give you a color or a font since I'm not good with such things (like I already said x3). A really big sorry at this point ... but I think you will find something which matches the pics

Sure, I'll do it. ^_^
And I'm cool with choosing the font and colors, it actually makes it easier.
Do you want both pictures in the same banner, or as separate banners?
I'll make three, just to be sure.
When I'm done, I'll post it here.
