The_randomizer's internship animal adventures

My dog's licking/biting my toes. (Guess you didn't need to know that.) They're so cute; they must've been part of the group you visited.

Yeah, they were all so friendly! Never interacted with so many cute fluffy foxes at once, I was in vulpine heaven They are SO SWEET!! Six hyper fluffy and stinky, sure, but man, they are so cute it was almost too much for my manliness to handle, so profound is their effect on me.

So much cute! These foxes, heck, foxes in general are so stinkin' adorable!

Experimenting with Photoshop, see what formats I can do to have more cuteness while taking up less space

Just a bit of a test to see what people think

 

[calmwaters]

Very cool; 8 pictures for the price of two...

Intriguing, methinks I should use this format more often I was just messing with Photoshop is all

 

[the_randomizer]

Another test Getting faster at making these so you guys will see more of them if you like the format that is

The foxes cheer my misery...

So happy to hear that seeing these pics are helping you feel better

 

[the_randomizer]

More Photoshop testing, should I use this format or go with the single picture format?

Decided to throw Tazzina in the mix since she acts like a fox in many ways, coyotes look like dogs and foxes combined

 

[Veho]

I like that format.

You could try that composition with the one large pic and a column of two/three smaller pics next to it. I don't know what that's called. I don't know what "arranging photos of varying sizes into one picture" is called. I don't know if "composition" is the right word. But you know what I mean.

Have a fox on ice.

Could you give an example? My brain's fried lol


Edit: Would something like this be what you're referring to?

 

[Veho]

Yes, that. But don't stretch the photos, crop them if you have to make them fit, but keep the original aspect ratio.

 

[the_randomizer]

Yeah, sorry it's kinda stretched, I found a template on some random site, so I'm current experimenting and see what I can come up with So using the template itself isn't the issue necessarily, but cropping them so they look good? The other issue is the original pics are 6 megapixels and this template is 900 x 900 or something, but yeah, I'll keep you posted As for the aspect ratio, that's fixed in the template itself, not sure how to change that part.

Just make a new template with the size you want. And then you can set the aspect ratio to what you want. Cropping; pick the center of your picture and go from there. And by center, I don't mean the center of the whole picture. Pick the focus of where you want the center to be and crop it based on that. I wanna see a full-on fox face.

Don't know how to make templates in Photoshop, but if I hold shift as I resize the picture, the aspect ratio is maintained and easier to center. Does this fare any better?

Great, I use the shift key for that too. When you open Photoshop, you can go to the File menu; click New... and it'll bring up a dialog box with all sorts of settings, like width/height in inches/pixels/whatever. You can choose from one of the default types or make your own (which is all I ever do). Then, if you plan on using this template again and again, you can click the "Save Preset" button. You can keep the default name or change it to something cute, like the "Fox Template". Well those pictures already look cute enough anyway.

Well the problem I'm faced with is the aspect ratio, and I like having the white borders between the pictures, that's what I need to figure out. Not very good at PS lol. I want to squeeze as much cuteness as possible There's no option to actually tell where pictures go, spacing, etc.

Haha; you can make the template have a white background instead of a transparent one; or, you could use the paint brush to make the canvas white. But then all you need to do is make the canvas a little bigger so you can have the white background create "borders" around your pictures. Then you can open up your pictures, crop them as you see fit, and drag the layer over to your white canvas. It's easier to drag the layer if you've undocked one of the picture files...
