.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

The GIMP version of a .psd is called .Xcf

Word:Photoshop.

Here's the updated dictionary nicky, just quote it for the code. Once you have updated the main page, I will remove the contents of this post.

NOTE FROM ME(LP): While adding your definitions, I cleaned out any sort of grammar or spelling issues as well as obscurity issues, so your definition may not be in the exact form you gave initially!

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.

There's one i've got, i don't know what it is so it would be cool if somebody could help

Focal/focal point?

Thanks



.Heads -> RE: Dictionary of a Sigmaker (11/19/2006 20:15:11)

Render:
A c4d, and effect render used in tags or as the focus in a lp

Stock:
A person or thing that is generally the main focus of a tag. People blend these into the background

Stock Photo:
A place or thing that is generally the background of a piece of artwork. You can find one on the internet, or take a photo yourself to use.


Wyn:

Focal/Focal Point:
The part of an image that your eyes first notice, or is the most prominent part of the artwork. Minimalistic styles are mainly the style that uses it. Choatic styles are what copletley and utterly ignore this :)



Nicky -> RE: Dictionary of a Sigmaker (11/20/2006 2:27:43)

Camo: Yes.. er.. yes, what about the hosting sites? :S
-added

Heads: Nice words there. I'll add them in. I'll add in "Focal/Focal Point" as well.

Just kidding :)
Thanks again ^^



Wyn -> RE: Dictionary of a Sigmaker (11/25/2006 5:01:47)

N

Negative space:

Where the tag has been deliberately left empty for effect



VampireHSS -> RE: Dictionary of a Sigmaker (11/25/2006 5:36:53)

Correction for Negative space:
quote:


Where the tag has been deliberately left black for effect



nolraitru -> RE: Dictionary of a Sigmaker (11/25/2006 11:09:49)

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.



skyboy59 -> RE: Dictionary of a Sigmaker (11/25/2006 11:24:08)

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
