Fireworks

[b1tchm4gn3t]

I was asked by a dear friend to make 15 t-shirts for her local community for some sort of celebration. The goal is to find some sort of fireworks pictures that looks real good and not 'cartoonish'. And the other goal is to put them on a white background. I am hoping someone may be able to help me out because I have searched the net for awhile now and cannot find anything with alot of vibrant colors or something I think looks real good. Also these are to be printed on a full sheet of transfer paper, so Im assuming that the bigger the pic...the better as not to pixelate. So if anyone may be able to help it would be VERY much appreciated. To conserve space here...I can be e-mailed with the pics at randyw@wabash.net. Thank you!

well I am actually doing that right now...but must admit I am having problems with pixelating and making the background white.

Photoimpact has a fireworks creator, I configured a few here differently. If you messed around with it you could easily configure them to look natural. Different colors. lengths, brightness....etc

ok..I have that prog now and CANNOT get the fireworks to show up after I click the thumbnail. Maybe you could please tell me what I am doin wrong?

Sorry that might not work as well as I thought.... You need to put it on a dark background or adjust the ambient lighting on a light background. Both produce a dark background.

You may still possibly be able to use it, but it may take a while to get something decent. Start with a dark background and right click the thumbnail for the affect and select modify properties. Adjust the softness on the advance tab otherwise it won't lok very good when you invert the colors. Go to edit>format and select invert which will give you the negative.

You'll have to adjust the colors and the how the affect is applied until you get it correct. There's a lot of settings to adjust for different affects. Hope it works....

ok..back to the drawing board! thanks!

ok...I have something workable now, I didnt know what the invert did so thank you so much! I was trying to put the fireworks on a white background and that did nothing...as soon as I loaded a black canvas, voila! Then invert...adjust some settings,...and now Im good to go! Thanks again!
