How Long- Glitters?

[Izzy]

How long does it take you approx. to make a glitter with like an image on it or something?

It takes me about 1-2-3 minutes to make one.
I use PSP btw. (;


Also-- What do you prefer to use-gradients or solid colours?

[sshjustkissme]

I normally use solid colors and the whole glitter overall takes me about 1-2 minutes.

[shimmeringgraphix]

Depends on the quality.. If it's a goooood one then I use ps and psp which takes me 3-4 minutes..

[Selena]

Yeah it also depends.
I mean if you count finding clipart, or picking colors, fonts, etc, it can take me 5 minutes...
but give me a bunch of clipart you want made into glitters, and i can have it done in less than a minute.

[GREGO]

I think it depends upon the originality of each graphic. If your making a pack of say contact tables and you make yourself a quick template you can crank each one out in a few minutes. If Each has to be completely unique where a template wouldn't help then I would say maybe 5 - 8 mins per graphic.

I've spent hours making glitters before LMAO! It really depends...
If it's just one gradient glitter word with all the effects and plugins and crap takes me about 5 minutes.
But I spend AGES finding clipart and the actual words quotes etc...that takes me more time than making the actual glitter...which i can do in a few minutes once everythings loaded up and ready to go :P

Same.
I usually use gradients though.

[Carrielynne]

Just the time to make it probably only takes me 2-5 minutes but I also count the time it takes staring at the computer thinking up what should be on it.
Counting all that it takes about 2 hours to make 12 high quality ones LOL.

I like both solid and gradients, I like to make each one different and thats why it takes so long.

[YabbaDoo]

Yeah, I'm the same as Carrielynne ^^
It takes me a good hour to make 10 high quality unique ones :D
I recolour too...So that's 10 x uniques 6 diff colours for each :P

[cdog]

takes me 5 min with ps and imageready

[kenzie]

takes me 5 min with ps and imageready
It takes me about 5 minutes as well except I don't use PS and ImageReady. I use PSP8 and Animation Shop.

[cdog]

i have never used psp... is iy easier?

[kenzie]

I have PS and PSP and I just can not figure out how to use PS...so for me, yes. :P

I also don't know how to use ImageReady...I guess its time to learn.

[bradley]

It takes me about 1-2 mins per glitter.

It only takes a few minutes for me to make glitters, but I spend a long time looking for graphics and clipart. In general, I prefer to buy glitters and spend my time on other tasks. I get way too picky designing my own glitters.

I use PS & ImageReady. I have been meaning to try out PSP and Animation Shop.

[unripekarma]

Once I have an idea of what I want and the resources to do it.. it takes me 1-2 minutes to put the effects on/glitter it. But I'm a perfectionist that likes everything to be of quality so it takes me awhile to get everything JUST how I want it.

[laars]

it could take me hours if I had to come up with the design on my own.
if I have someone telling me what they want, I can have it done in 1-2 minutes.

LOL that's my problem too

[NYCBORN]

Takes me about 2 weeks to do 1 glitter because I create the glitter pixel by pixel. Thats why I sell glitters for $200 each glitter. :oops: i'm stupid.:offtopic:

[hayley]

I spend 2-5minutes normally 5 being really high quality & 1 obviously being a horrible quality.

[fluffy]

It takes me about 1-2 minutes for high quality glitters. I've been glittering for quite a while, so I go pretty fast. I can get around 50 unique without images done in an hour..ish. As long as I don't have any IMs, or TVs on. :p

[Panic!]

I've just started learning how to make them. Probably about 10 mins right now.

[Emily25]

it takes me about 3 minutes or less. Sometimes I made some patterns to use (stripes, polkadots, etc) to use for a background on my glitters.. and gradients and colors.

[Michelle]

Takes me about 3-5 minutes.

[xo.Saz.xo]

5 Minutes per glitter MAX, usually quicker, but sometimes when I cant choose a font, or something it takes a while longer.

[carlee]

Making regular / text only glitters, I can usually make around 10 an hour.
If the glitter needs to have cliparts or images on it, then it takes me an hour to do 5. =\

I use PSP8 & AS3 'cause I can't use ImageReady fast enough, lol. :P

[BreannaHemsky]

It takes me about 2 minutes per glitter. I usually use a gradient but for no particular reason. :P
