El Bucanero Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Just what I need, good work Admiral Phes! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted August 18, 2006 Author Governor Posted August 18, 2006 There will be more to come when I can be bothered converting and uploading them... Quote
babyjawa Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Is it ok if I used one of your backrounds for my sig? If not I can take mine down. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted August 20, 2006 Author Governor Posted August 20, 2006 That's what I put them here for - so everyone can access them! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 10, 2007 Author Governor Posted January 10, 2007 They're not finds. I made them and then put them here. Added 10th January 2007 Note that these images are thumbnails so click on them to view a larger version. See what you can do with those! Quote
Scouty Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Are these new ones? Well, I haven't seen them before so, they look great! Quote
Holodoc Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Great work Mr. Phes! I stopped by this thread looking for SPACE-background pics. :-|| Does anybody know a site where to get these? Quote
Legorski Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Awesome, Might just end up using some! 8D Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 The link is DEAD! This thread was created before Classic-Pirates.com was rediesigned and based off a Content Management System, thus the webpage the first post is referencing no longer exists. You can find all the images in Mister Phes's Brickshelf gallery here. Since there is nothing more to discuss, I'll close this thread. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 20, 2010 Author Governor Posted January 20, 2010 WRONG!!! People are free to tell me how useful my backgrounds are But something is going to have to be done about that dead link. Quote
Jack Bricker Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Your backgrounds are great and I already downloaded some of them to use in some reviews that I will be making soon. I was going to ask how I can put them into my pictures. Are there any tutorials that will show me how to do this? Do I need any special software that I can't afford? Quote

A number of programs including Photoshop can do that, but if you are after free stuff, I'd look at Gimp, which is almost as good as Photoshop, and it's also free! Quote
Jack Bricker Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks, I'll try Gimp. I don't want to spend $200 when I can get something free. Quote
Ryan_T Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks, I'll try Gimp. I don't want to spend $200 when I can get something free. It's a pirate forum man! Get a Pirated copy! Arrr! I'd advise against it, But I do happen to have a few around my computer. But my uncle loaded my comp with the Adobe Master Collection CS3 Quote
tonelok Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) A number of programs including Photoshop can do that, but if you are after free stuff, I'd look at Gimp, which is almost as good as Photoshop, and it's also free! I would mention Paint.net as well. Free (Creative Commons License) and the layout is probably easier to use (see here) for somebody looking for something closer to Photoshop's feel. It handles layers just fine, which is needed for using these backgrounds. Very nearly a replacement for Microsoft Paint - it was originally a college project sponsored by Microsoft and it grew into something a lot bigger. Edited January 20, 2010 by tonelok Quote

There was dozens more of them but it seems during our upgrade to Wordpress they were omitted. I'll have to reinstate them when time permits. It's a pirate forum man! Get a Pirated copy! Arrr! We certainly don't condone software piracy around here Quote
Lorentzen Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I think I've used a few of them in some of my reviews, so thanks :) But yes, the links were dead the last couple of times when I've been meaning to use them in my recent reviews Quote
Rick Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I would mention Paint.net as well. Free (Creative Commons License) and the layout is probably easier to use (see here) for somebody looking for something closer to Photoshop's feel. It handles layers just fine, which is needed for using these backgrounds. I also started using Paint.NET instead of The Gimp because I found it much easier to use. But I definitely don't use it intensively, so I wouldn't be the one to ask about the pros and cons of the various programs. Most of the time I now use it to do some really simple image editing for the classic-town.net blog (bit of shameless promotion here ). Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted January 20, 2010 Author Governor Posted January 20, 2010 But yes, the links were dead the last couple of times when I've been meaning to use them in my recent reviews I'll have to put them on my "To Do" list. Right now I'm working on a rather large upgrade for Classic-Pirates.com so getting that done in the main priority. Quote
SlyOwl Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 For those wanting image editing tutorials, there are some good ones in the Reviewer's Academy, and I did a read-only one here. Quote
Lorentzen Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Wow SlyOwl - those sails on your SES look completely new. Did you buy a MISB at some point and open it? Quote
Big Cam Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 For those wanting image editing tutorials, there are some good ones in the Reviewer's Academy, and I did a read-only one here. I remember seeing that. A very good tutorial indeed. Quote
