If you have an image of a before you would like modified, or an after image you just want to show off, post them here!

- Ω - Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 Anyone have an old TI image they want tweaked? DegasElite 1 Quote <<< My YouTube Page >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Behnke Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 I like to do them myself. This one is a stumper for me. I think the issue is all the color gradients. See what you can do with it. P.S. I know there is a better version with TI stuff at the bottom (This picture was used for each computer, Atari 400, TI, C64) but the bottom part had the specific computer info) but I cannot seem to find a better source picture. Do you accept the challenge? LOL DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Behnke Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 (edited) I've done a few buttons for the TI Faire. Now if you look close you will see that these were originally box covers and I fleshed out the left and right sides to fit the button. This involved a ton of work and I actually had to recreate tghe missing artwork by cutting and pasting existing art and then filling in the missing gaps. Yes the resolution is not very high but since these were meant for 2 inch buttons they look great in that size 🙂 Edited May 9 by John Behnke DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work! DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Behnke Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Wow I am impressed. Is this a trade secret or can you give me a hint on how you cleaned them up? Are you painstakingly painting like areas with a fill routine? That's what I usually do but you run into issues with dithered areas. I have not figured out how to do that yet. Thanks again!

I use a combination of three separate programs. One to resize, another for manual control over settings and another for manual editing. My eyeballs are my main judges of what looks good. Got another?

John Behnke Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 (edited) This should keep you busy for awhile 🙂 Thanks for doing this. These look so much better after you finish with them! If you want, I'm still working on cool designs for button for the fair. The buttons are 2.125 in diameter but I can resize anything you submit. I'm also doing fridge magnets which I'm using 6" x 4" magnet sheets and cutting them down from there so any designs you can fit on that size will be great. I'm aiming for 3-4 magnets per sheet. BTW please don't feel obligated to do any of this. I just figured if you were bored 🙂 Edited May 10 by John Behnke DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Behnke Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Do you think a button contest would be something people would want to do here? If we have enough interest we could allow submissions and then set up a vote here for 1st, second and third. I could make a few sets of the winning buttons and send them to the winners. Just a thought. DegasElite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
