Photoshop CS problem

Journal Entry: Mon May 12, 2008, 4:56 PM
Ughhh I hate this thing, so my new computer that runs on Vista Home Premium... when I'm running Photoshop CS, I went to the brush settings and checked off the other 'Other Dynamics' and 'Smoothing' for the brush, and the driver recognize that, so at least the tablet driver's working fine because there is pressure sensitivity going on here. But it doesn't work or change when I off the 'Texture' or 'Colour Dynamics'... So does anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

That's just life, or a head-fake?

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 17, 2008, 5:04 PM
In many ways, it's funny how life can come at you, the beauty of life is essentially its unpredicted course. Perhaps it may have well been a test of faith from a higher place?

I'd have to admit, I did indeed overreact from the result of this whole Dominance War contest.... and it's certainly taught me some fine lessons for the future. I'm not ashamed to admit it, because we all make the smallest mistakes that could potentially ruin chances at something grand.

Upon uploading my 3 final images for the contest, I thought I was safe that as long as the page showed a '3/3 finals submitted'. Perhaps it was out of sheer excitement that made me miss a tiny button which was meant to clarify the completion of my entry. However, after some back and forth explanations with the organizer, who was extremely understanding of my situation, ultimately granted me a spot amongst the finalists. Though, none of this would have come to pass if it wasn't for a great friend and artist :iconbluefley: who explained my situation to the organizer. I don't think I would have found out about this problem if it wasn't for his help, so many thanks to you Marc!

I guess it just goes to show, that life really throws head-fakes at you once in a while, and it was pretty stupid of me to overreact. I'm sure I've learned a valuable lesson from all this. Like, I really thought that all my efforts just went down the drain, but hey, human beings are all quick to pass judgments, and I've certainly learned my lesson : )

Take it ez everyone,

Jin
