Level Four WOES!

BLAM IT!  BLAMIT TO HE double hockey sticks!  I dont have Adobe Photoshop (takes too much room on my computer), so I use a combination of GIMP, Open Office Draw and Pixelmator. I'll tell you what, that crap is getting on my nerves.  I have to make the scene in one, then save it and open it in another to extract any background noise in the picture, then save and open it again in another to put the finishing touches on it.  Then STILL have to open it after all that in PREVIEW to shrink or enlarge it... ALL BEFORE I even add the pic to the GameSalad SDK to put into the level.

(Since I am NOT a graphic designer and have no clue how to use these, it makes this process that much more difficult.  Maybe there is a way that I could use just one of the three and save some time, but who knows where I can learn this stuff?  -Any feedback on how to use any of these would be greatly appreciated btw.)

So I decide to take a shortcut this time and do all the parts to the level first then do them all at once from start to finish to "SAVE TIME", yet alas... Preview won't do one of the scenes right and on top of that they aren't stretching correctly so the scene doesn't look clean!  I am so peaved I want to just chuck my friggin computer across the room!  It took me hours to get the scene how I wanted it, and after hours of trying to work around it, I have found that it won't work!!!  I have to do the darn thing over AGAIN!!!

So frustrating!

I need some serious motivation today...

Here we go!!!!!

That's what I'm talkin bout!!!!!  Til the roof comes off, til the lights go out, til my legs go out... yes... I need to hear more...  

Hold on a second...  Here we go...  That is what I need to do, pick the world up.... (level 4)  lol.

Alright enough motivation for me... Back to work.
