As laid out in the title, I'm on the prowl for hi-res MM photos, PS3 theme-making advice, and Photoshop/GIMP skillz.
Pics: Got my PS3 in October, and just paired it up with an HDTV in January. To take full advantage of both, I've been trying to find wicked awesome hi-res photos to use as backgrounds. While 1024x800 is good and all, I'm really looking for pics better equal to or better than 1920x1080 to get the full effect. I've Googled like crazy trying to find a good central repository of people's ultra-sexy MM pics, but I keep finding the same batch, including this not too terrible pic (http://www.dragtimes.com/images/1101616266dsc_2782.jpg). I also know we have a Photos section here, but I don't know how to filter by resolution in the query. Anyone know where I can find great sexy hi-res MM pics, or are there any members that want to share their own quality hi-res poses?
PS3: If you don't have a PS3, you can skip the rest of this post about customizing the theme, including alternating wallpaper, icons, and sounds (http://www.playthree.net/2007/12/official-ps3-themes-have-sound-effects.html). Those who do have one, and haven't gotten custom themes yet, Google "ps3 themes" immediately and start downloading .p3t files and installing them under Settings > Theme Settings > Theme. Hot chicks, fast cars, your favorite game, and even Matrix code (http://www.ps3-themes.com/movies-tv/matrix-code.html) are all floating out there for the taking. Anyone know of any with Marauder affiliation? If not, we'll need to make our own:
Custom Marauder PS3 Theme using Photoshop or GIMP: Anyone dabbled in this? There are a handful of instructions out there, and I'm slowly picking this up, but it will take some time. I'm a Photoshop n00b, and I'm trying to learn GIMP which I picked up from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html. The product is open source, and subsequently imperfect, but it's cheaper than Photoshop by $649 (http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/ps_pse_comparison.html). Anyways, anyone created their own theme or have expertise in PS/GIMP? I'd love to hear about ideas for Marauder icons, Photoshop techniques, and general advise on graphically designing a killer PS3 theme.
Looking forward to any input!
