*Post Your Desktop!*

Kaebora · Post by **Kaebora** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 6:58 pm

Hey everyone... here's a new idea.

Post a pic of your desktop. Don't know how? Minimize everything and press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. The open MS Paint or any other art program and hit Ctrl+V to paste the image. Save As, and presto. If you don't know how to post it online, that sucks to be you. There are numerous ways to do so, which I do not wish to explain step by step.

I just thought it would be like peering into a window of someone else's life. You get to see all the shortcuts they have, and the setup they are sporting. Check mine out!

I don't have a desktop picture on my home machine... never see the desktop empty enough to need one.

I do have one on the work machine though. Just a wallpaper I found on the internet but I like it. Nobody else at work cares what it is, though, or if they ever take any notice they probably think it's an ad for "Sleeping Dogs" or something like that.

...and now you all see just how egotistical Vuldari can be, with a great big picture of himself in the middle of his desktop.

My Desktop image before this was an Anthro Fox Painting by DarkNatasha, and before that, a Zelda: Twilight Princess poster.

I'm just on a internet-computer untill I have internet at home, so there's no fun in posting the desktop of a computer that hasn't got much of a personality...

Hey I have Oni! I even made friends with the game's Marketing Producer once.

Good to see the game is still being played elsewhere.

I think I get the harddrive joke. When they say a HD is 600MB... its really less than that. The measurement for a bite is inacurate to put into whole numbers, but they do it anyway, rounding it up to the nearest hundred for selling the product. It is difficult to make a mass produced drive hold the exact same amount of data as the others of the same model.

I'm noticing that a lot of you have this GIMP program. Why not go the extra mile and get Photoshop? Tons more features, and I use most of them. I've had version 7.0 for ages. If not PS, why not Corel Draw? That program is exellent with a graphics pad.

ah, i like that pic on the windows one, psiguy! and actually, i have a b&w version of the other one as one of my desktop pics.

and dude, lupin, i love macs! windows sucks!

and man, kaebora, gimp is free and i have no money. i can't afford photoshop! and what other features does PS have what GIMP does not?

Pssst...

I got PS7 for free. Shhhh.

And Windows is better in many ways. Just the same, MacOS is better in many ways. They are both flawed systems anyways. No OS is perfect. I have noticed that people tend to be close minded about using other OS's. I've learned multiple platforms so I can sell myself to more companies. If a hireing art company uses Macs... tell them you love the Mac, and will enjoy working with it. If they use Windows, Microsoft is your new pal. Love the Start button.

Anyways... I tried GIMP and was dissapointed in its lack of color channel attribute functions (for use in printmaking), less alpha channel control, the numerous filters it didn't have, and to icing off the cake... image-wide color controls I use all the time were not apart of GIMP. Photoshop is worth the money to those making big productions with it though. If I could afford it, I'd upgrade to Photoshop CS3 for the new website building tools, automatic image mapping, and automatic panorama arranger. The plug-ins were lack luster too.
