Clever. Made me lol. Read and enjoy.

I just bought one of these, it is exquisite! I can now watch my anime, movies, music videos, and keep all my music on the same tiny watch device. I highly recommend this. Price? It’s $100 with shipping, roughly. Amazingly cheap!

Either of these layer masks gives you a second thing to paint on the layer through besides the normal way. This shows up as a black or white (or a combination of the two) box next to the layer’s thumbnail. Black means that the items in that place on the regular layer are hidden, white means they are shown, and anything inbetween designates transparency. With that said, the difference between a layer hide and layer reveal is slim, it is that the layer reveal starts all-white, and the layer hide starts out all-black. It doesn’t matter what one you choose, but it is more convenient to use one than the other in certain situations.

The layer masks are under Layer->Layer Masks->Reveal All (or Hide All).

In order to hide part of something, simply create a gradient, or draw black, in the area to be hidden. Soft brushes and gradients allow for a gradual fade to hidden. Note that you can limit a gradient or brush to a certain area by making a selection before you use one.

This hide/reveal can be used to create reflections, by flipping what you want to reflect, moving it approximately 1px separated from the original, and then using this technique on it to fade the side of the reflection that faces away from the original.

1.  Paint the background of wherever you want the effect black. If you want it in a portion of the document, make a selection in that portion.
2. Filter->Render->Lens Flare  – You will do this multiple times, most likely. I like to use three. The highlights and brighter spots of the twirl come from this.
3. Filter->Pixelate->Mezzotint – I use “Short Lines”, any will work, depends on the size of the work however.
4. Filter->Blur->Radial Blur – Zoom, 100%, Best – center it wherever, if you want it like mine leave it centered in the middle.
5. Duplicate Layer (Ctrl+J) – This allows us to work on one and leave the other to show the twirl intertwine.
6. Filter->Distort->Twirl (on the new layer) – Play with the setting. It comes out nice no matter what, but I prefer milder twirls myself.
7. Layer Blend (Lighten) – You can try others, but with light-on-dark this is the one to go for (you could invert, do other things, flip parts of the image, duplicate more, play with it!).
8. Enjoy the pretty swirl effect. I typically will merge the two layers now and then Ctrl+U to color them.

They had a copy of Age of Empires II and expansion for $20 in a pack. Older game, still reasonable deal… I had them already, so I didnt care much. I continued to look around, and two games above it was, for $10, Age of Empires I, expansion, and Age of Empires II and it’s expansion! What kind of insane retard priced these games? Spend twice as much and get half! Pfft…

Two downfalls:

• The Anti-Aliasing Fails. Period. If you load up the menu, the airplanes have massive chunks of pixel showing on the wings, it’s irritating. In-game it isn’t so bad, but still noticable.
• Multiplayer SUCKS – I don’t think it can be said better than that in a word. More below…

So, the AA comment says what it says itself. As for the multiplayer. There are few servers, which is understandable, but half of them are non-secure, which means that they are hacker-filled, aimbots, etc. It is annoying. It takes about 5 minutes to be auto-matched, and it typically ends up a 1v1. That kinda sucks. All of this aside, because it is minor, the multiplayer still sucks. There is a maximum of 12 players, which baffles me. It’s a pathetic number, which provides for small skirmishes only, which is not what you want out of a game like this, the single-player has about 40vs40 per level. In order to compensate for the tiny number of players, they reduced the maps from the single-player to incorporate only the crappy parts of the levels, leaving out anything fun that might have snuck in there. Not to mention the unfathomable lag (and my system specs are ungodly, with 18mbit FiOS, so it isn’t me).

If you stay away from multiplayer, however, it is an excellent game, 10/10 from me. The only complaints about single-player are the lack of other fronts, like Russia (and such things hopefully can be fixed by an expansion ), as well as the small number of levels, again which could be remedied by an expansion.

The AI is adaptive, which means that if you play through the first time on expert, without unlocking all the weapons on an easy mode first, you will die repeatedly until you get things perfect. I was stuck on level 1 for about 2 days, and I’ve been on level 2 for about 4 days now… But I like it this way, it’s actually a challenge. Kudos@the AI writers.

1. Start with a blank layer or document, with whatever color you want.
2. Set your foreground and background colors to the colors of the grid and it’s background. I recommend using contrasting colors, but it works with any two (be creative!).
3. Filter->Render->Fibers (Settings 64 and 64, this forms some material to work with)
4. Filter->Blur->Motion Blur (Settings 999, -90 or 90 degrees, this transforms our material into lines)
5. Duplicate Layer (Ctrl+J)
6. Filter->Distort->Polar Coordinates (Rectangular To Polar)
7. Layer Style->Lighten (Or Darken, if you’re using dark on light colors – toy with the style!)
8. Enjoy your grid!
