you don't have photoshop or Illustrator?

 

[TxDiscGolfBoy]

naw. could blow it up in paint and just trace it I guess.

 

[agent_peebody]

i think Illustrator is free. photoshop can be free if you know where to look

Illustrator is not free, it's expensive. Inkscape is free. It's an open source program similar to illustrator. It has all the features that a non-professional needs.

Here's the link http://inkscape.org/

there you go. i thought illustrator was the free one, but i guess inkscape works just as good. i just use Photoshop CS4

Here are a few I have found. I really like the spade skull. I was thinking that would be a good dye if for an ace disc.

Eagle

For anyone dying an Innova Eagle, I thought this might look good.

Use Gimp to make the stencil images. Free, legal, and easy to use. They even have it for Mac. (Which is what I use.) And it runs great.

wow, i just found a way to make a stencil in 1 second...:doh: shoulda paid attention in college...

 

[Jabanger]

Any chance of Divulging that tip? lol

 

[agent_peebody]

use the filters on photoshop, they have one called "neutral" and one called "maximum white"

turned my dye contest design into a stencil in 1 second. woot! now i don't have to "magic wand" all the color out

 

[Apothecary]

hmm...wonder if theres a gimpshop version of those filters.:\

 

[agent_peebody]

just live in the now and get photoshop...try using a pirate's treasure map if you know what i mean.

 

[Apothecary]

no way. adobe has jacked up my comps on more than one occasion.

 

[agent_peebody]

sucks for you

 

[dgdave]

I can't find those filters in PS Elements 7. Damn.

 

[agent_peebody]

try the "image" tab, then "adjustments" then "black and white"

then you go through their preset ones, i usually just crank all the colors up to +300

but then again, i use PS CS4...so i don't know about Elements

 

[dgdave]

Ok. That's what I do. Thanks

 

[agent_peebody]

right on, i just found it again. i've been magic wanding the colors...takes FOREVER
