.psd
A file type used by Photoshop. Usually so you can save layers seperately.

It can be used for GIMP too. I use GIMP and I save like this when I need to pause work :P

Swiper, I'll add it in, because one day someone could join and want to know that. So better safe than sorry. :)

-added .psp and .pspimage to Dictionary.

TUA, please don't spam, the moderators around here don't approve of it.
If you want to know how to make signatures, follow one or more of the many guides around the forums, and use the Ultimate Resource Guide to find a program. If you're posting that because you want to know what a word relative to graphics means, PM me.
But- please don't spam. You can get banned for it.

I disagree with that definition. Negative space can be any colour where effects aren't really happening. It's the boring areas (not the boring areas without effects in them, like smudging, or c4d, or filters). Negative space is just area where you don't want people looking, so it can be any colour really.

thought negative space was there to draw out the focal point... like in books with character shadow/foils

since i've seen some with light effect lines to move eyes to where you wanted... or was that not negative space lol
