Thank you for the info as i am always interested in what i can learn. They told me to leave the message on the leader board but i didn't know exactly where to leave it. I tried to cover all my bases.

you must remember these are graphics not Photographs. They were never meant to be photographs. These are in jpg format with open layers so i can add things to them.

you have just answered your own question. no not with CGI. yes they do look like photographs however they are not. Let me show you another of a sunset. again done with Teregen.

now don't forget that the pic was shortened here to fit this page and again causes distortion as the pic is not at its full capacity. Thus the resolution is cut down. I use these as my desktop pics on a 42" monitor screen. so you can see the difference is quite noticeable. The deer in my first pic are distorted here but are clear in the original pic. The pond i put in looks good as does the mustang in the foreground. so it is hard to judge this pic from the original. the original pic from teregen is bland and empty landscape. here is the original pic from Teregen that i used to make the pic above. I also included an island pic i created without trees or anything to give you an idea of what i am talking about.

what happens when i turn them into jpeg format they have a tendancy to distort. I use many programs for my pics with a high resolution . I use Teregen to make my life like landscapes where i add my trees and grass and sand or whatever i wish in paintshop. I did the bata testing on a lot of graphic editors and programs for Shareware junkies. Teregen only makes bitmap images. Then i have to change them into either a psp format or jpeg format. I have many format choices i can use. here is an example of my pics. i made everything myself. i even added a pic of my own mustang in pic 1. pic two i made my own frame and turned it gold. i turned the palamino horse into a unicorn. The landscape in pic one was made in Tergen and in paintshop I added the the trees, grass, flying birds, stone path, my pet redfox, and an owl on the railing. cabin, mustang, and myself, even the smoke from the chimney.

i am using paintshop pro 7 from Jasc as it has more layers and the wolf is from a pic that i cut and made a tube file to use any where i want. i use a lot of tube files. now for the winter scene i use Teregen landscape and the resolution is run at max. when i resized the pic it distorted the sky a little so i tried to doctor it . most of my islands have no trees on them as i haven't worked on them yet. I did the bata testing on Adobe photoshop and didn't like it and when i did the bata testing for jasc. i found it much more amature friendly. Teregen is a good program and fun to use. the people maker from teregen is a 5,000 dollar program. it turns out some good models however a lot of them have flaws on them which you have to doctor. some have markings like watermarks. They seem blotchy in some cases. i know i probably have a lot more to learn on this particular program. the more i use it the better i am geting. When i submit the heads in the program and make the bodies they look good but the backgrounds suck. when you cut them out of the background and make them tube files which are on transparent backgrounds they distort very little. the wolf in my pic is Chasta a pure bread Timberwolf, that belongs to my Brother. His pics are all over the internet. He conducts wolf studies in the tundras of northern Canada, for the Canadian Wildlife Service. He has several packs that he studies. The name Chasta comes from Chasta Bay where he spends a lot of his time. most of my owl pics were taken by me from my many owls that i have had over the years. I did the law enforcement for the Canadian Wildlife Service and the Wildlife Rescue Program, sponsored by the Federal Government of Canada. i am a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, and worked for the Special Enforcement Section of the Migratory Birds Convention Act and Indian Affairs and Northern Developement. i am an ornithologist and miss my job. so now that i have a lot of time on my hands, i spend a lot of time on my graphics. most of my pics are quite graphical as they are from case files, so i don't use them for anything i would display. My fox tubes are of my pet red fox (Syndi) which i had for 15 years. She was my girl which had many problems from her injuries. The vets managed to save her life and she would never survive in the wild ever again. So i licensed her and bonded her so i could keep her. She was only about 4 weeks old when i rescued her. i am well adversed in wildlife and have tangled with some of the best, from a Wolerine to a Fisher. Grizzly bears to Black Bears. you name it. from deer to moose.

which pic are you talking about. what colour corrections are you refering to. i am always willing to take critisim and learn. The winter scene is at high resolution and no masking was used.

I hesitate to show my ladies that i make and detail. They look real as do my landscapes. Gives you an idea of what i create on my comp. I am using an older paint program made for windows 95. I had to make changes to allow it to run in Windows 7. It works good now and this is what i turn out. The winter scene is one that i created from scratch. these are not real by any means. they may look real.

Thank you as i never noticed it as i have 20 members and din't know how to communicate with them. Thank you again much appreciated.

i don't know how to chat with any of my club members. can someone give me some advice, or help me out.
