:lol: I'm just saving some links from the blender forum, because I don't think we will have one, when the forums comes back, and I know the Voice forum will be made.
it will just be Idol, Voice, SYTYCD, DWTS, and Off Topic, maybe and Entertainment forum.
If they can save new threads then you can post stuff you find in here also to save it, even if it's not from this forum. just in case o:)

Welcome to Imagery Discussion! Yay! Below are the most frequently asked questions in the forum. If, for any reason, you have a problem with the description (IE, It doesnt work for you), just post about it, and someone will do their best to help you. Good Luck!

How do I make/get a Blend?
Make a Blend
To make a blend, most blenders use either Paint Shop Pro (PSP) or Photoshop (PS). Both are very pricey, PSP being more affordable, but lots of people prefer PS. Try free-trials before you purchase.
Here is a tutorial for blending in PSP
Here is a tutorial for blending in PS
Request A Blend
If making a blend is not your thing, request a blend in the Blender from one of the artists. (IMG:http://images.idolforums.com/style_emotico...df/thumbsup.gif)
----------
What are blinkies/How do I make blinkies?
They are made with many programs, including Animation Shop, which is extremely user friendly.
Making a simple blinkie in Animation Shop
Step One: After you have made your image in your image program, copy and paste it as a 'New Animation' in Animation Shop.
Step Two: Then, change the font color/what you want to blink back in your image program, then paste it 'After Current Frame' in Animation Shop.
Then, save it! You have a blinkie now!
->To change the time that each frame flashes for, right click on the frame, go to 'Frame Properties' and edit the number.
Putting a Blinkie in my signature
Easy! Just follow the instructions for adding a blend to your signature (IMG:http://images.idolforums.com/style_emoticons/idf/happy.gif)
----------
How do I download and install fonts?
***The Font Bible Thread***
http://idolforums.com/index.php?showtopic=204692&st=0
After the font is unzipped it should go into the
C/Windows/Fonts folder, then it will be available to all programs on the computer
Downloading Fonts
Downloading fonts is as easy as clicking the link and saving the file, but there are usually lots of questions on common fonts
Some commonly used fonts include:
Baby Kruffy
Base 02
Delarge Marker Pen
Desyrel
Hour Photo (Used to make Filmstrips)
New Romantics
Scriptina
Will & Grace
.....For more fonts, see the Font Bible
Installing Fonts
Windows XP
Once you download the font, go Control Panel>Fonts>File>Install New Font. Then find the path to the font you saved, and hit OK.

What are textures and how do I use them?
Textures are just 'backgrounds' or collages of many images. patterns and gradients all swacked together and effected, and they are used on graphics to create depth and effects.
Finding Textures
There are many sites with textures, including
http://www.deviantart.com/resources/textures/
Using Textures
No matter what program you are using, just copy and paste the texture on top of your graphic and change the 'Blend Setting', to something like overlay or screen, or change the opacity.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO DOWNLOAD A TEXTURE, JUST COPY AND PASTE IT.
