Noobie question!
Could someone teach me how to make picture that may made people attracted to it, of course by the beauty of the picture.
I somehow couldn't make picture that could attract ppl attention, even i feel sorry for it ;p.
Thanks before ^^
And with the help of my friend, i'll take that journey in the light, not in darkness

it's adobe photoshop for me, though I'm still not into it..
But if it's for begginers, like me, I recommend paint.net
That's where I make my banners, it's very easy to understand.
But it doesn't have that much features like those of photoshop..
... =_=

vnewis, you need a good picture, and a good editor. ^^

Batmanfreak, photoshop works for me too. You just have to explore Adobe for you to get the complicated parts of it. ^^

I use GIMP, which is free, to edit pictures. it does mostly everything that photoshop does and it'd pretty simple to make banners with. Just google Gimp and it should take you to a download site.

well the basics of it are :
1) find the pictures you want to use (google, image shack, e-shuushuu.net, etc are your friends)

2) crop out all the stuff you don't want from the pictures you plan to use
-----use the selection tool of your choice from the top menu (tools>select)
-----now go to Image> Crop to Selection

3) create a new file and set the size to the dimensions of the banner you plan to make
-----currently most of the claims club banners are 350px wide by 60px high, tho that may change at any time

4) resize the pictures to fit into your banner
-----Image > Scale Image

5) copy (cut) and paste edited pictures to your banner and position as needed
-----Use ctrl+H to anchor it to a layer, be mindful of the fact that you can create new layers so that you can keep the images seperate and minupluate them independently later if you decide you made a mistake in placement
------To veiw you Layers menu use ctrl+l
------To create new Layers use the paper icon on the bottom left of the Layers display
------Move layers by click and drag
------Click the eye to hide a layer if you need to

6) add in any text you happen to want
-----Tools > text
-----Click on the place where you want the text to start and then type into the box that should pop up
-----Fonts can be found in Dialogs > Fonts or by clicking the icon next to Font on the gimp interface (or whatever its called)

7) save and upload

this is an extremely simplified process tho, so the banners are unlikely to be anything spectacular.

edit: fixed minor error

GIMP is mostly used for photo retouching. I would recommend Paint.net instead.

There are some good turorials for GIMP here if need be.

With the text layer chosen, you can go to Layer>Layer Style and you can see the effects there. ^_^

You need something like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP to make banners, and you need lots of creativity for that.

You can also go to paint.net for an online thing... ^^
