Title: Photoshopping The Tri-Cities Region (Regional Update!)
Post by: GreekMan on January 16, 2010, 07:18:01 AM

Hello and welcome to my new MD. This MD will feature the Tri-Cities Metropolitan Area. Now I am not going to post normall updates of my city. I am going to make this MD a whole new experience for you. How will I make this MD unique you say? Well, I came up with a crazy idea. I take a normal picture of my city, then post four other images with special graphics. I have Adobe photoshop so there is unlimited supply of tools I can use. I will start you of slow for now. Later there will be some mindboggling pictures! This is how my MD will be unique; to show one picture in different ways. I will also have a CJ on Simtropolis which will focus on the growth and development of the Tri-Cities Region. That CJ will go on in about a week (1/22-23/10) Maybe I will post a normal update every now and then. WARNING: This MD will feature pictures that will display unique and enhanced Photoshop skills. Please don't stare at them too long. YOU have been warned!   

I think it is proper to start off any MD/CJ with a downtown. Here is Downtown Arlington:

Interesting idea to present the same image with several different photoshop treatments.  Nice looking urban area, I'm looking forward to seeing more soon!
Title: Re: Pictures from The Tri-Cities Region!
Post by: bob56 on January 17, 2010, 08:31:22 AM
great start! I really like your downtown-It has a lot of variation, I don't see any duplicate skyscrapers.
Only criticism I have is to use different pictures. Maybe one normal, then one photoshop of the same picture, then move on to a different picture.

I'll be watching this MD.

Well, I suppose that's what this MD is all about - showing the same picture with different PS treatments  ()stsfd() .. at least that's how I did understand it.

Great to see something new from you, Chris! Your approach is certainly unique, and it's great to see how different you can make the same picture look simply by using different filters and adjustments on it. It shows how powerful Photoshop can be. Arlington looks great, too - more of your excellent workmanship!

I'll be back for more!

I got some bad news. i was trying to update wheni got this message saying that my computer had been affected. I think my computer got infected with a virus, so i might have to restart this WHOLE thing over again...... I have tons of BATs that took my 3-4 years to find. this is a HUGE setback. i might get a new computer over the weekend. i was about to start show some crazy pictures......... i am not happy......... :angrymore:

well now here comes the task of redownloading stuff. but i don't know what download infected my computer......so in short, this MD may be put on hold..... It's just GREAT!

Post by: xxdita on January 20, 2010, 10:19:23 PM
So you've downloaded a virus? Well, the best thing you can do is get a decent anti-virus program, and keep it updated. There are free versions available, as long as you know where to look. Having had a few problems in the past, I keep 2 AV programs on my computer, to make sure that every download is scanned thoroughly, and that nothing is missed. The ones I use are ThreatFire (http://www.threatfire.com/) and AVG. Remember that you get what you pay for, so if you're using a free anti-virus, it's best to have a second program installed to do periodic sweeps, even if you don't have both of them running all the time.

Can't you backup your plugins folder on an external HD? Most of the time, viruses go hide in C:\Windows, your plugins should still be safe. Storing them elsewhere would save you the pain of redownloading everything, as well as making it so that you only have that folder to worry about and check for viruses. My two cents...

Anyway, good luck!  :)

Post by: xxdita on January 21, 2010, 07:39:16 AM
By all means you can backup any of your data that you'd like. But I wouldn't try to open anything without scanning it with a decent AntiVirus first.
