Hi everyone!

I'm looking to update my stud tattoos since I've changed the name of the program. I'd love if someone could make a 'kG' tattoo for me! I'd love a light-colored one for dark horses and a dark-colored one for my lighter horses (specific color doesn't matter!). Be as creative as you'd like!

I'd be very willing to pay for your time and effort :) Thank you!

I'm willing to give it a try.

@SandyCreekAcres I'd really appreciate it! Thank you! I have yet to figure out the art of the transparent background :))

@bluchrystals Oh I love that! Thank you! How much should I send over?

bluchrystals · Dec 6, 2019 6:09 PM

Nothing. It only take a few minutes. I meant to do it earlier...and forgot. :D

SandyCreekAcres · Dec 6, 2019 6:24 PM

Looks like I'm a little slow with my offering.

It's quite easy with Photoshop. Each letter is its own layer above the white background layer. I just discard that white background and export the tattoos in PNG24 format. There's usually no problem with file size.

@SandyCreekAcres I've been struggling with trying to figure it out for the past twenty minutes lol, I've decided to get a tattoo for my Splash M line I'm starting but can't seem to figure it out :))

SandyCreekAcres · Dec 6, 2019 6:53 PM

What program are you using? I'm only used to using photoshop, so I might not be able to help.

kgstable · Dec 6, 2019 6:54 PM

@SandyCreekAcres I've had gimp for a long time and thought I knew how to use it lol, and i've tried paint and then a few other things to get it the right size. (Gimp usually works great but for some reason won't resize this picture)
I've been trying to get this

the right size for about 15 min now :)) I figure out how to get it transparent but now I'm struggling with sizing. Google surprisingly hasn't been much help

I sure feel like such a grandma trying to use technology right now =)) this is why I'm going to school to cook food, not anything with computers

Can you crop the image so that there isn't a lot of background around it?

Let me see what I can do in Photoshop.

kgstable · Dec 6, 2019 7:00 PM

@SandyCreekAcres yes I can usually crop close to it. Thank you!

SandyCreekAcres · Dec 6, 2019 7:03 PM

I've got it, I think. Let me slide it into my tattoo registry and put it on a horse.

Nope. It didn't keep the transparent background that time. Shall I try again?

Maybe it's because it's a vector image. Photoshop can be quirky with those.

SandyCreekAcres · Dec 6, 2019 7:44 PM

This is the best I could do so far. I think it's too faint.

@SandyCreekAcres Can I find another picture for you to try out? Like I said I'm not quite sure what works and what doesn't but maybe I can find something a bit better (and also please do let me know how much to send over for all of your work helping me :) )

Edit: Maybe this will work?

Try these.

Thanks for the help, bluchrystals. Both of those are well done.

bluchrystals · Dec 7, 2019 6:12 AM

I've got just about everything to do it on my phone or saved in my bookmarks. ;)

SandyCreekAcres · Dec 7, 2019 6:17 AM

My problem was trying to work from a copy displaying the transparent background, so I got that diamond pattern all through it and had to try removing it.

bluchrystals · Dec 7, 2019 6:19 AM

I've got a background eraser that allows you to select the percentage of the matching colors you want to erase. I also filled in the cup first since it wasn't showing up too well with just the outline.

kgstable · Dec 7, 2019 11:45 AM

@bluchrystasl and @SandyCreekAcres thank you both so much!

Edit: I put it on my Splash M foundation! He'll be the beginning of my HuggAMug Splash M line :) All named after coffees
