Hi everybody !
This is my first upload ever, but hopefully not my last. Sesames beautiful work has inspired me to start recolouring and I made this set because I simply love blue colours, flowers and romantic style - hope you like it.

Hi Helle! They look nice...you know you can put larger pictures up...if you would like...just use tiny pic or photobucket or something to host them...it's just hard to see what's in the room with the small pictures :yes :)
-
Actually I dont know how to do. I have tried to make them bigger, but it didn't work.
Maybe you could tell me how ?
-
Looks really pretty Helle! :love Thanks for sharing. :flowers
For your pics, like Di said, try using Photobucket http://photobucket.com/ or TinyPic http://tinypic.com/. Also, I know some of the artists here use a camera download from somewhere (can't remember where). I just use print screen and Photoshop or Microsoft paint. You can get better close ups and bigger pics than using the in-game camera. :)
-
This is a lovely set, Helle! And you've done some of my very favorite items :blowkiss
-
Beautiful work Helle, I am so glad you shared it with us! Thank you!
-
Helle that room is gorgeous :clap :clap
I'll have a play with the photos for you so everyone can see it all closer up and I'll drop you a pm how to do them bigger for future use. Having seen this room I am looking forward to seeing more from you :)) :hug:
They do go a bit blurry when you enlarge them. I would suggest using a different program for preview pictures. Personally I use paintshoppro, Lunie uses a different program that she talks about in another thread on here somewhere, I'll have a look for it. That way you can save better quality photos than the game does for you.

Thank you very much.
I will do some experiments with the photos, maybe I need to ask another time before it works for me. I have a lot of recols, so I am really looking forward to upload some more stuff.
Happy easter,
Helle

I use a program called Gadwin Printscreen (http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/). With the settings you can take full screen caps and then crop and resize in an editor program. I use Adobe Creative Suite 3 for my graphics program, most people cannot afford it but I get steep student discounts. Not to mention most MS software free. But GIMP is a free program that shouldn't be difficult to learn for just resizing images. I can put together some sort of tutorial if you'd like, if it would help.

I have PhotoShop CS3 as well but went back to 7.0. I actually prefer it to CS, CS2 and CS3. :dunno

A tutorial would probably be very handy actually Lunie as it's quite a frequent question. :thumbup1

I use Photobie, which is also free. (And has a built in screen capture utility with several configurable options.) I'm a member in the forum there, so I may be a bit biased. But it is easy to learn.
-
Hi everybody - and thanks for your advices.
I have now tried Gadwin printscreen, and I think it solves all my print screen problems. So now I will prepare my next uploads.
Kind regards, Helle

Yay - look forward to seeing the next ones :))

Hey Helle....do you know where I can get that bedroom set? Sim Divine seems to be gone, and I have no idea why I never saw this post before!!! GAH!!!! It's so BLUE and I love it!!!
Will these recolors work with some of the slaved stuff you have?
Thanks so much!!!
Deb :likeit :likeit :likeit

Sim Divine can be found at several places, but mummy sims is hosted at annosims.

There's a Jonesi blanket of the main pattern, which means it can be put on every slaved fabric item! It's almost Sims3- like :))
-
Thanks everyone :-)
Lastly, the link for the wallpaper doesn't work, and I spent some time trying to find a match, but can't seem to find it. Any idea where this wallpaper might be? I love matched rooms, you know :-)
Thanks for such awesome help :-)

Well. the walls at Parsimonious have the strangest organization I've ever seen, so I knew that it wouldn't be in wallpaper because that would be too obvious :)) It's on page 10 of the "poured" section (that SO looks like a plaster wall...not).
-
Thanks Kate, I couldn't find it either.
-
Thanks so much Kate, I never would have looked there.
