Allan 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2005 This list is still very much under construction. I actually started it late last year, but just made it visible to you all today. I will be adding more links & info as I have time. There was a Detroit links thread before, but I'm not sure what happened to it. I guess it got unpinned or moved elsewhere for some reason.

ironchapman 1 Report post Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) How'd you get "Detroit: The Motor City" in it? Paint, Powerpoint, something else? Edited August 29, 2005 by ironchapman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allan 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2005 Photoshop. I fully intend to make much better graphics, but my life is getting more and more hectic with each passing hour. I'm not going to tell you that the graphics will get done in two weeks, because I will sound like Kwame and the Book-Cadillac deal..."only two more weeks." Look for improved graphics around Thanksgiving or Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolverine 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 I'll bet he used photoshop. The best damn graphic editor out there. Wolverine has upgraded to CS2, WoOT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ironchapman 1 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) ^Do you have to pay for photoshop? The closest things I have to graphics editors are Powerpoint and Paint. LOL Edited August 31, 2005 by ironchapman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allan 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 Well, you can illegally download it, get it from your university, or pay a whole bunch of money for it. If none of those are options, I recommend photoshop elements. It does most of what photoshop does for less than $100. If you want a free image editor, use the Gimp.

BTW: I also have a Kodak Photo Editor on my computer which could help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allan 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 I haven't used the Gimp for anything other than resizing or putting copyright info on my photos, so I'm not very experienced with it. It did what I needed it to do, although I didn't like the interface much. It works pretty good for a free program. Download it and see how it works for you...it's not that difficult to learn the basic stuff. I haven't used Kodak image editor, so I'm totally clueless there. I do know that this computer had some image editing software on it when I got it, but I don't know what it's called, and I've never used it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolverine 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) ironchapman, you can download photoshop CS2 free and use it for 30 days. Before you do, you must become an adobe user. Being a user, you can try all of adobe's products at no charge. What is unusual though, is that you can usually keep downloading the trial version over and over again after it expires. So essentially, you have a legal copy, but aren't paying lol. (I don't know if this still works). Of course, I no longer use the trial versions. Let's just say I have some strong connections in the architecture school. . But back on topic, nice thread Allan. This will help for people not to familiar with the D.

Allan 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 Haha, I didn't know that about Adobe. It would be a pain but it if it saves you $600.... At least it's not like Autodesk Revit...that thing is the most overpriced program on the planet. For $4700 it can be yours! My uncle's architecture firm was going to upgrade the whole office to it, but it cost so much money that they only did half. This thread is so incredibly off topic. Eventually I'll clean it up a bit so only the profile-related posts are on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ironchapman 1 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 Heh, you should see the Atlanta profile. Many of the posts are all that remains of chris121091's 10,000 alteregos. Actually, it's not that far off topic. This could be educational for those of us who will be doing (more) profiles in the future BTW: Have you any plans to create a GR or Lansing, or is joeDowntown going to do that?
