Mike, how do _you_ draw a strait line, as differentiated from a straight
line?

Julie,

You don't need a plug in to do this in Photoshop. Make a new canvas with
a
transparent background that is one pixel wide and two pixels high.
Enlarge it as far as it will go 1600%. This makes it easier to see what
you are doing and to work with. Then using the pen add one pixel of the
color you want for one set of lines to the top leaving the bottom pixel
empty. Select all. Then go to edit, define pattern. Then make another
new canvas as big as you want it to be. Make the background color the
color you want the second set of lines to be...lighter or darker than
your first color. Doing it this way instead of just making two colors in
your two pixel canvas lets you try a different color if if it is not
quite the look you want. While this new canvas is selected go back to
the edit screen and click on fill. Choose Contents use: pattern. Your
workspace is filled with small lines. You can make one set of lines two
pixels wide, or make three or more different colors of lines. Lots of
choices. Have fun!

No Mr. Mike, a beginner can not draw "strait" lines; not 500 of them,
without a bit of help.

Straight lines are not hard to do. Just like spelling. All you
got to do is think about it.

If you can draw one - straight - line you can draw 500. Ever
hear of "copy and paste"?

Please people, this is not rocket science.

Then the beginner should read the manual and think about how to
draw one line and then copy and paste it.

Make a group of lines, then copy and paste it again.

Or make a pattern on a layer and then put the layer on the image.

What is so hard about this stuff?

That was excellently put, Dorothy. Very useful and easily comprehended.
I presume that this is the spirit of a ng like this, help for those seeking
it, as well as comparing notes.
Unlike a certain arrogant twit who sits on high and rains sarcasm on easy
victims.

Funny, he labels himself "artist", yet, apart from one sad little character,
I have yet to see any original art from him.

I put it to you that it wasn't so hard to type the contents of this post,
now was it?

Now just try phrasing it in a way that doesn't stroke your own ego and you
will get respect from others.

And I assure you, once you have that it is far more satisfying to have your
ego stroked by someone else than to stroke it yourself.
Pull yourself off whenever you can, too?>
Try it with someone else, its WAY better.
No really, give it a go, its not so hard. (heh heh)

We chuckle at your self-idolisation.

You poor tragic child, did people ridecule YOU this much when YOU were
learning to use photoshop or whatever program[s] you use?
Do you have some deep resentment towards that which drives you to make other
newbies feel so inferior to you?

We pity you mikey.
You are so mighty mikey in your own world, but only because the second you

People have the power to think of themselves as they wish. I
don't force them to think anything about themselves.

Just like YOU have no power to force me to think badly of myself
... no matter how hard you try. It just is not within your
ability to make me feel or think anything that I don't choose to
think or feel.

No could you repeat that please, I am not sure I heard you right.
You think everyone in here is like me (being this silly mask I have put on

I refer to the constructive people in this NG, you don't require their
respect?

But see that's the problem mikey. You aren't listening to others because of
this filter over your mind which says people are trying to make you feel bad
about yourself.
Not at all. People are trying to tell you that you are being ANTISOCIAL.
There is a very big difference.

antisocial as you are.

No they are victims if they are hit by buses are cars or other big things

Small things that sit still on chairs can't harm people no matter how much

Should the "artist" be self-dilusional enough to call himself an "artist"
when anyone at all who has learnt the basics of the programs he uses could
produce the same droll crap?

Brainwave:
mikey has such a problem with terms like "talent" and with newbies asking Qs
about software and belittling people in general because he knows that he
won't be able to for long, as most people overtake his level of excellence
once they've learnt things like drawing 500 straight lines.

We chuckle at your inability to leave me to insult you without responding.
YOU are a victim, you just won't admit it to yourself.
That is the level of YOUR awareness, artist.

I don't care about their values, their ethics, their opinions.
Silly people that are concerned with how I write in newsgroups
are not worth being concerned with.

YOU being bothered by my messages and going on your "Holy Quest"
to vanquish the "Evil Mike C." is only a source of amusement, and
I have NO concern for your ethics, or your opinions about my
"online persona" or my "attitude" or my messages.

YOU and people like YOU are relegated to amusing "Net Play-Toys".

You have been a really good "Net Play-Toy", by the way. So don't
feel bad about not killing the "Evil Mike C.", ok?

Having watched most of the tripe given out as an answer to Julie's
reasonable question may I say thank you to Dorothy for not acting in an
Antisocial Manner like one or two of the replies.

It was my belief that this newsgroup was here to help others with a
Photoshop problem and not to snipe at those who are at a different stage
with Photoshop. I have picked up some very useful tips on this newsgroup
and have also solved a number of problems for others for although I have
been using Photoshop for about 10 years I can still learn from others.
Again Dorothy well done for a sensible reply.

But YOU DO mikey. Otherwise you wouldn't keep responding to me or anyone
else who responded to you.
You care very much.
If people were not to give you the attention you so desperately want you
would be a very uncontent little soul.
If I didn't post these posts you wouldn't be anywhere NEAR as satisfied with
this newsgroup as you currently are and you would try to rectify this by
harrassing other "toys" as you have shown over and over and over again.

I don't want to vanquish you, evil mikey.
You are cute, and I enjoy playing this game more than you do, obviously, or
I wouldn't be outposting you with silliness so successfully.

And we both know that your "online persona" is only different to your "real

silly little ookey pookey head. Its happened repeatedly throughout your

You are confused about the act of me responding to you. My
motivations are to play with you, not listen to what you have to
"say" and then do as you "say".

I have written to you many times and told you that I will not

YOU writing silly messages in an attempt to change my writing
style, will not work.

But YOU can continue for as long as you wish. I would not want
to stiffle you.

I enjoy the newsgroup on my own terms. That is true. How I
choose to interact with the "newsgroup" as a whole is my choice.
NOT yours.

Chuckle. Oh, you think that numbers of messages makes the
difference. Ok then, post 1000 messages for all I care. Post
all day long for a 1000 days. Chuckle ... it still would not
change how I choose to post in the newsgroup.

Threats of violence don't work in this environment. It only
makes you look silly and frustrated with your lack of
accomplishment.

Better calm back down and stop fantasizing about hitting me.

No need for "fangs". I only have the ability to write words.

Who is entertained or bored is irrelevant. I will write as I wish.

Face it mikey.. you're not "writing as you wish".. you're blindly
replying to every little thing the 'anti-mikey' posts. So, is business
that slow? You've got plenty of time on your hands to waste.. "writing as
you wish."

At least 'anti-mikey' is having real fun, 'boring-mikey' just looks sad
and pathetic by comparison.

What do you mean by "now"? I can't remember when it wasn't happening.
This group has always been supportive and helpful as long as I've been
reading it. The little war of personalities can mostly be summed up as
Mike C. vs. List of Thousands. Although the "war" threads are long,
and seem to take up everybody's time, we shouldn't forget that the
group continues to be supportive and useful.

If you write the same thing repeatedly over and over doesn't it display:
A) It is irrelevant and doesn't address the issue at all, and/or
B) You are displaying your silliness (inferior to mine of course) by
repeating the same message without using macros?

I chuckle at your time-wasting efforts to convince me of the irrelevant.

''':^) ®

But it has.
Repeatedly.
You are just not self-aware enough to have seen it.
I flick you around like so much snot and you chuckle. But I make you choose
to respond in particular ways, even now you can't admit that to yourself.
I have taught you not to respond to me directly, but you still can't resist
the occasional snipe.
Remember only a week or so ago?
You tried SO valiantly to keep up, but now you don't. That is because I
made you choose not to.

I chuckle at your lack of self-honesty.

That is very accomodating of you, thankyou.

I am relieved that you don't want to stifle my nutboy immitating style, cuz
that would mean you were tryna stifle yourself which is a paradox your mind
would implode at I think.

You are so very irrelevant.

Some day I'll tell you my fantasies mikey. As I have said, they involve
power tools and earth moving equipment and two seperate sets of twins. They
don't include you.
I could probably relegate you to the position of watcher, would that amuse
ye?

How you choose to react to this newsgroup has been proven repeatedly to be
my choice, and not YOURS. When are you going to face the fact that you
haven't got the slightest chance of outmanuevering me mighty mikey?

I choose how you respond, and learn how to tweak you more and more every
day.

You become as predictable as a brick mikey.

It has nothing to do with numbers mighty mikey, and you know it, as it is
YOUR game, remember?
It has to do with confusion and manipulation and out-psyching and
frustration and drivel.
And you don't even come close.
Anyone could do what I'm doing mikey, but few are bored enough to stoop to
this level to show you how simple you are to beat. That is the only reason
you have succeeded up until now mighty mouse.
Cuz people couldn't be bothered.
Does someone play chess with a two year old? Course not.

Chuckle.

Your are so bad at being silly.

If you are threatened by that sentence you are more timid than I thought
mikey.
As for silly and frustrated, have we found some bikini chicks to sit on this
beach with me yet?

mikey mikey you might wanna stop flattering yourself.
John Howard I'd hit.
Adolf Hitler I'd hit.
Tickle Me Elmo I'd hit.

You? Ha. I don't even need to consider it mighty mikey, you are getting a
sound thrashing without me going anywhere near that train of thought.
Think you are worth hitting do you?

That how you solve your frustrations is it?
Hehe, you are gonna learn some painful lessons when you go impotent.

I agree with Clive. I've been lurking here for quite some time and have
learned a lot from such request/reply threads.
In fact, I've picked up a bit from Mike's site as well.

Usually, the spirit of this and other ng's is supportive and accepting, but
every now and then a little war develops between personalities, such as is
happening now.
To my shame I lowered myself to fire a shot as well, but this won't happen
again.
I hope this continues to be a good tool for improving my knowledge.

That's what you'd like to convince yourself, sure.

How simple the masters make it seem !

I have been having fun making moire patterns by producing one background of
the "line-screen" pattern fill and then making a copy and then applying some
filter like Distort/Polar Co-ordinates and then playing with the layer
filters between the two, altering the color/hue, etc.

The only thing that confused me was I found that I needed to use the
"pencil" tool ... and when I read "pen tool" I thought that meant the tool
for making paths. Anyway the pencil tool worked for me, and it would not
surprise me, if given the vast depths of my ignorance of PS, there is a way
to do it using the Pen (path) tool.

So many humble thanks, Dorothy.

best, VK~
