THE STIG!!!!!! ♥ I love him so hard! :)

The icon is a bit pale. Maybe you could add a little contrast to it? What program do you use?

[liresius]

LOL! Yeah, I LOVE The Stig! Oh and I thanks for the icon feedback. I'll try for some more contrast. I use PS CS2 ... from you ;-)

I use PS CS2 ... from you ;-)

awesome!! Then I'm on home turf and can better describe what I would do.

I would duplicate the layer and set it to Soft Light. If that's too dark, I would duplicate the base again and set it to screen. And then adjust the opacity so that it looks good. Then I would use Layers - New Adjustments - Levels and that way bring out the contrast even more. But those are just the first steps I'd take. It's hard to know what to do just in theory since I'm not actually working on the icon myself. Then I'd perhaps use some Filters - Sharpen - Unsharp Mask.

But yeah, I hope that helps at all :P

Thanks! Good advice! Soft Light hardly changed it, so I did the Levels as well and that made a difference. I also upped the cyans in Selective Colour. I didn't notice much difference with the Sharpen/Unsharpen Mask though, but I think this is better overall. Changed the text too.

What do you think?

Is there any significance to the Qs in your Jeremy icon?

Good luck tomorrow :-)

Thank you! It's mostly a formality, so hopefully it won't be too nerve-wracking.
