As a quick favour, does anybody know where I can download a copy of Photoshop, preferably CS4? I've tried downloading CS2 and it didn't work, and since it costs almost £500 on the Adobe website I'm not getting it straight from there. I need someone to let me know if there's anywhere I can get it free or cheaper.

[small](apologies mods if this is against the rules, if so then let me know nd I'll be happy to change this post)[/small]

Have you tried using GIMP?
It is a free Image Manipulation Software much like Photoshop, but of course it costs nothing.
I use it instead of saving up for Photoshop... costs too much...

I use GIMP as well. It works well enough, just be prepared to deal with some bugs and occasional crashes.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that, and hopefully soon be able to make a valid artistic contribution here :)

so like a spy stabbing a engy that is killing a heavy, that sorta thing!
if someone does that ill help creating some i have my imac so it does a great job!!!!
Bad news, I tried to create a decent wallpaper based on your specifications, but my lack of experience with GIMP (which is what I used) ment the end result was pretty bad. Hopefully somebody else here will be able to come up with something great, though :)

Scratch that, while you were posting your comment I was on a train to Leeds and with nothing to do decided to have another crack at it. It's not brilliant, since it's the first work I've done with GIMP, but I hope you like it:

Yeah, add me. I might not have that much free time though.
I just made this as well:
http://dnaloiram.deviantart.com/art/Emergence-153418917
Also, don't check my earlier submissions on DeviantArt, I made those before I had Gimp, so I was stuck with MS Paint.

Great :). That one looks pretty good too, I've only just started using GIMP myself, which is what I used for the TF2 wallpaper that I made for 001648, above.

I'd like to suggest an idea:
On the OP, say who's wallpaper we're working on in a list. It would make it much easier to keep track of things.

That's actually a pretty good idea. I reckon if people PM me when they take on a request, then I can update the OP as and when necessary. Right now I don't think anyone's working on anything, though I could also put up details of current requests that are awaiting people to start work :).

Okay, I've now edited the opening post. It looks much tidier and has the extra information on as suggested by Dnaloiram, so it should be easier for people to navigate :).

I could use some help. It's along the lines of my avatar, a flickering Helghast, just a different image.



Again, I'd like the eyes and the trails of light leading from the eyes to remain illuminated while everything else fades to black. PM me with any other questions

So do you mean you want it as an animation then, similar to your avatar? If so then I can't help as I have no Flash experience and little experience in GIMP, save for the TF2 wallpaper I did, above. However, I can check around and see if anyone else has the right skills to help you. I'll update the OP to advertise your project too.
