USB Connector Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi guys. I know some of you are wizards with photoshop and I was wondering if you could help me out. I've been trying to remove the drywall/wavy effect from the background in the image below with very limited success. If it isn't too difficult, I would very much appreciate it if you guys could help me out with this. http://i.imgur.com/VQtdhPu.jpg Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise that if I ever do change my sig it won't be much bigger than my current one. However, it's not going to be a sig. This thing is going to be a mouse pad. It's a low resolution printer so the ripples won't come out nicely. I think the resolution on the image you posted will do just fine based on an image of a mousepad I saw with only a slightly higher resolution.

Which service are you using to print that out? Are you selling or just making one? I found this posted on Reddit. You can get 1 custom mouse pad for $1 using a coupon. There were tons of people posting in that thread over the course of 9 months about the pads they ordered. http://www.artscow.com/photo-gifts/mousepad/large-mousepad-160Use the coupon code: RushForumMousePad This will make the total $1 (yes it even deducts shipping charges) after you enter it and press the checkout button The way the site works with the coupon is interesting. Each coupon can only be used once per account and IP address (network). The coupons only exist as referral links. So while that coupon expires late October, the coupons for this promotion only exist as users' referral links. So by using the coupon, you get your $1 custom mouse pad, and I get a $1 credit on the site. I added this last part in for complete transparency. I wouldn't have posted the service if you didn't ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it better quality than than Café Press, though? A lot of their stuff is kind of flimsy, clothing and otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) It came in today. It turned out great. Thanks again 73. The image is a little blurry because the camera I used is not particularly good. http://i.imgur.com/zHt8d9J.jpg?1 Edited August 12, 2014 by USB Connector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
