Hello, my name is
Lixin, and please do not ask me if I'm a girl or boy, because I've already mentioned it in my basic profile. I was given birth to on 26 January 1993. I was supposed to be born on the 28th, but apparently, my mischievous second brother had caught a lizard and scared my mother with it - and you know what happened next.
I am an animal-lover, and as a toddler, I had already began to loathe animal-abusers.
I thought of becoming a zookeeper when I was about 12. I was at the zoo and I realised how fun the monkeys were, and of course, all those other smelly and adorable animals attracted me as well.
I began writing short stories at the age of 7, and I started to write novels when I was 10. When I was 11, I tried to publish one of my novels, but
obviously I failed. I am currently working on a new novel called
Always Daddy's Little Girl, and I think I'll never get it done by the end of this decade ... I
can't stop
re-writing Chapter One! EURGHH!
Like many, many other web-owners and designers, I started off with
Neopets.com. I was a
twit, and I was one of the many who had the whole Neopets userlookup/shops/pet lookups filled up with glittery animations and music. I learnt basic HTML when I was on Neopets, and I started designing on MS Paint, before I learnt to use Photoshop. On my 14th birthday, a schoolmate called
Sarah, who is also a webmistress, gave me
Photoshop 6.0 and I no longer had to depend on trial versions! Yay!
Many acquaintances/strangers often feel that I was very cold/grumpy Well, first impressions don't mean
everything.
Yes, I am very good at cold-shouldering people -(especially if I didn't like him/her)- but as we become closer, you'll find that I am actually not
that cold/grumpy :D
If you'll like to know
even more, add me on MSN!

PSD Fade
Okay, first, open up an image. I'm using this, so feel free to save it and open it up on Photoshop.
The PSD can be found at the PSD section.
Click here for the image.
Next, select your Rectangular Marquee Tool or simply press the 'M' key. Set the 'Feather' at 30px.

When this is done, choose a portion of the PSD you want to fade. Like this:

Pretty simple, eh? Now, for the final step. Press your 'Delete' button on the keyboard (beside the Insert/Prt Sc button) a couple of times till you're satisfied with the way the fade.

This technique is very useful when you don't have decent brushes or other images to cover up the bottom of the PSD which cuts off so that it looks really awkward on your design. I hope this helped!
