I'm sorry uzu-chan! I can't really help you out. But I wouldn't stress too much over it. Hope you get things figured out though!

I'm here!
Hmm....well I don't really have time to do much. But, I know of two groups we can affiliate with; I'm an Admin to both. One is the Naruto-and-Sasuke group (yaoi themed), the other is AnimeGirls07.
Also, at one time, I planned on making a wallpaper for the group. But, I wasn't able to find any good pics to use. So, if anyone could send me a good pic, I'll be happy to make us a wallpaper. I just got so annoyed searching for a pic.

Ok, I've done what you said the second time, and it still doesn't work.
I thought for sure that it was, because I had to ok the program to launch. Then my computer got busy, like it was loading the program, but then nothing. I even pulled up the task manager and it showed it running in the processes section, but nothing showed up on the screen.
I don't know what else to do, but to take in someplace and see if they can do it. Thanks for the help though!

Thanks Kuroimisa, and tiki223. All though they were good ideas, they still didn't work.
I'm starting to think that I'll have to take it somewhere and have the stupid thing installed. Oh, and for the version of PhotoShop, it's Elements 6; if that helps any.

I hope this is the right place for this. I've got a question, and the subject pretty much says it all. Here's my problem:

I got PhotoShop for Christmas, and tried to install it into my laptop. The 'install wizard' popped up and I thought everything went smoothly. But, that was not the case. When I installed it, it shows up on my program list and everything, but when I click to open it, nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. I worked for 2 hours, trying to find the reason why, and I came up empty handed; and really pissed. So, I figured someone here could help me out. Any ideas/ solutions?
Oh, I don't know if this would have anything to do with it, but my laptop has Vista. And, before someone asks, yes the program is compatible with Vista; I'm not that stupid.

Thanks for any help that I get.

I was starting to wonder about you. I'm glad to hear that you like boarding school, and doing great.

I like this one better with the darker orchids. But, the orchids seem flat. Perhaps adding darker blue to them, giving the petals more life. Especially coming from the center of the flowers, to about midway of the petals. That should make them look less flat.

Ah! I like it better this way. I like the frosted idea. But, perhaps you could make his skin a tad darker. I'm not saying blue or anything. But, as he is now, I had to look at him a while to realize that he had a blue tint to him. Perhaps...darkening the skin a little more, if nowhere else, just highlight places around the hair and maybe around the eyes.

I've got to say etoo-chan, I love it as it is. But, I'm afraid that you are right, and that it would get deleted for being to simple. But, I'm in the same boat as you are, since I like it as it is.
But, if you would want too, perhaps a very faded design in the bg would help. I'm not sure of what, but it's just an idea. *shrugs* Sorry that I'm not of much help.

Got my username for a (should be obvious) reason. I love everything that deals with Inuyasha. So, I took that and just added the year that I graduated high school.

*squeals*
It's such a cute image! But sadly, I don't have the image. Sorry that I can't help you out etoo-chan.

etoo-chan!
You've got a good wallpaper here. But, I'm afraid that it would be deleted because of a simple background. (ya know how MT is about things like that) But, I think what would help with that, would have the orchids more prominent and not faded into the background. Other than that...I don't see anything else that could cause a problem. *thinks*
No, that's about it from me at this time. I'll come back later and take another look, to see if I missed something.

Jenny-chan! You've made a wallpaper! Let me see what I can tell you...

I personally like the way that you have it now. The bg work is really good, the spots are really good; I like the different colors, and the pattern in between is a nice touch...something different to draw the attention. But, like the others, I think the scan is a tad...weird for the bg. I seem to have the idea that it's too dark for the faded/ soft bg. I think the problem is the dark dress...if you could lighten it up, or vector it so it's a different color, that might solve the problem there.
And, I think the ghosting, even being a layer messed with filters and such, would give you some problems. Not sure about that though.

But, that's all I got for you. Not much different from the others...so maybe it'll help, maybe it won't. Good luck with your wallpaper! I'll be waiting for it.

I really like it. The only thing I don't like is the text. The black stands out too much on the lighter background...perhaps a blue would look better? But, other than that, I think it's a good wallpaper.

Hm...no I suppose we aren't to vote for our own. That wouldn't be very fair...
So...these are my votes:

7
6
1

Good luck to everyone else!

Darn it! I forgot about the fanfic part. Oh well, got to busy. But, this part I think I can do. Um...but who won the first part of the contest? I don't think it was every said. Oh well.

Hmm....a very tricky subject, you have. Let me see....what could I say, that the others haven't? *thinks for a second*Oh, I've got it.

Like the others (I hate repeating others), you've got to think this situation through completely. I mean; everything from whether you like or love him, to your friends reaction, and to the fact about school.

For example: my friend was in a situation like yours. We were juniors (in high school), when he asked me what to do; because he really liked a mutual friend of ours. Well, I told him to think things through, and every situation. And...he didn't listen. He spoke to our friend at lunch, and was flatly turned down and then ignored the rest of the day. That night, I was on the phone with him, for hours as he cried; literally. Then, the next day at school, it was all over that he was gay...again, another thing he didn't expect and he didn't even stay for classes. He got over it after 2 months, and is finally happy now.

SO...that probably made things worse for you. Um....I guess I just don't want you to go through something like my friend. So...just plan for everything to happen, and how you will handle the overal situation. Things could go nicely or horribly. This is just one of those situations where...your damned if you tell him (being ignored and looked down on) and your damned if you don't (miserable and constantly wondering 'what if'). So...I think if you do what you think is right...then that's all you can do. You can't do anything to change yourself; regardless how hard you try.

I probably didn't help much...and sorry about that. But, good luck with your decision. If you need someone to talk too...I'm always here.

Shikamaru is so cute as a chibi. Too bad it was deleted, I would have faved it.
Cute scan though...I can't vector anything to save my life, but hopefully someone will.

Wow...chibi zofus...you are one crazy child. I think she will...but you and the others at the group MUST have patience. It's not that easy making a Group skin. Especially one like ours...when it actually has no real character to use.

Ok...I've changed the fur to a light blue, like sailorchiron suggested. But, I haven't changed anything else. As for the water, I know it looks like a photograph. But, that's what I wanted...I wanted it to look fairly real. So, what does everyone think of this now?

Updated version

etoo-chan! You're wallpaper is very different. I especially like the bg work and the trees. You're idea to draw the viewers vision in many directions worked. My attention was drawn to everything at different times. I like the autumn bg too; I think, the angel would have been lost in a winter style bg. With this bg, she stands out.

Nice work all around.

Ah, Sasu-kun is funny.

I'll see if I can think of a story for the contest. I'm sure I can think of something...might not be the best, but it will be something.

Welcome to MT. Make sure you read the rules before you post anything; that way you won't get in trouble.

Perhaps...we can only hope.
