Is that better?-- (Talk) (Contr.) 13:14, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm new to wiki code, I'm attempting something a little fancier than I should be, I suppose. Glad to receive any help though, thanks! Fam 13:19, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * No problem! Nice picture btw, did you use photoshop to get it to look like that?--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 13:19, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah. 1920x1200 original picture, the character cut out with quick masking and copied to a new layer. Painted the character out of the background and guassian blurred in different amounts for different scene depths. Dodge and Burn with a 2-3 pixel brush to add additional lighting to the character herseflf, with a larger dodge to improve the look of the Brohn staff. Finish it off with a crop and some adjustment of the levels. And all while I should have been doing some real work too. ;) Fam 13:28, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Rofl.^^^A.K.A. something I would never be able to do.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 13:30, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Its the technical way of saying 'I blurred the background and added some highlights' :D. Got the effect I was aiming for working (in Safari at least, with the character info overlaid with a black translucent background over the character image. Had to take an entirely different approach to the one I was expecting, of course.
