I use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe ImageReady. You can purchase the software from http://www.photoshop.com.

I use Adobe Illustrator pretty much for everything. If I am hand drawing, I scan and then color in Photoshop, but Illustrator is what I use when I draw directly with the computer.

The main graphics program I use is Ulead PhotoImpact 5 by Ulead Systems. You can download a 30 day trial version of this program at thier site. For the 3D Art I use Bryce 4 and Poser 4 both by MetaCreations.

long as you do not alter the graphics from its original form you may use my graphics. This means you can't change the coloring or the content, you may only resize it. And please drop me a line sending me the graphic so I can see what you have done.

About 90% of the images are created with Micrografx Picture Publisher 7 and 8. The rest is made with Alchemy Mindworks' GIF Construction Set 32 and a few with Paint Shop Pro. Oh, and the raytraced 3D-thingies are made with Micrografx Simply 3D 2 and 3. Nope... Both Picture Publisher, Simply 3D and GIF Construction Set 32 are commercial programs. You'll have to buy them, if you want to use them (the prices are very fair).

No, not without written permission. (Unless the graphics are under a Creative Commons License that allow it) (More: See the 'What is Creative Commons' FAQ question elsewhere...)

Yes, we have a graphics gallery with AVs anyone can use. Once you are sorted, head over to the profile page. In the left hand menu, click on the Forum Profile Information link. On the top of the page you will see "Personalized Picture" and a list to the side. Click on the options (Boys, Girls, House Crests) and you will see what images we have available for use as your AV. Do not, under any circumstances, take these images and personalize them.

Yes, you can use graphics from the Graphics Gallery, but you must give credit to Butterflywebgraphics.com.

Well I use various programs my main program is PS CS2 and ImageReady. The other programs I cant tell you because then everybody would try and copy me even more than they already do.

Adobe Photoshop CS2, Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 and 9, Macromedia Fireworks, MS Paint, Jasc Animation Shop 3.5, Microsoft Paint.

I like to make my own personal graphics. It's one of my favorite things to do. I use Paint Shop Pro for all my graphics right now. If there is something that I don't make, I will visit a web site that contains FREE approved clip art and animations, etc. From my time on the net, I have collected a huge collection of things like that on my computer, so I usually look there first for something I need.

Adobe ImageReady, sometimes version 3.0 and sometimes CS. I use it mainly because it has layers and transparency, the ability to save good-quality web images, and it can animate if that's what I want to do, all in one program.

There is a link along the top and bottom of most pages on the bulletin board, in the upper right-hand corner of each page, that says faq. By clicking on this you will see exactly how to do the smilies and graphics. Also, when you go to post a new message, you will see a link that says "SMILIES" -- you can also click on this and it will open up a new window so that you can see how to use smilies and graphics without losing your post.

Quite a few is the quick answer. The longer and more detailed answers follows: Up to autumn 1999 the pictures were taken with a 35mm camera, the pictures were either scanned by myself or by the photo finisher when the film was developed. From autumn 1999 to June 2002 I used a Kodak DC265 digital camera (1 megapixel resolution). From June 2002 to July 2004 I used an Olympus Camedia E-10 with 4MP (not manufactured any more, replaced by the Olympus E-20P, 5MP).

My information, scripts, graphics and layouts are available for others to use provided you follow the following rules They are only used in sites where the owner is actively trying to learn how to make websites and will help share that knowledge with others. A return link to my site is made somewhere (hey, I want to get SOME credit, right?), or you have notified me by e-mail that you are using the graphics. for teaching. If you have a specific question, I'm generally happy to answer it.

We recommend Paint Shop Pro (Free trial from www.jasc.com) or IrfanView (Freeware from www.irfanview.com). There are lots more suitable graphics programs available. Or use the free online Logo Generator at www.coolarchive.com/logogen.cfm

Yes, of course. You don't necessarily have to credit the gallery unless you use a lot of images. And we would love to see the result so you are welcome to upload your graphics/avatars/wallpapers... to the gallery.

No, in that I have two friends, Todd and Sandra, who have helped me with banners and different graphic elements for this site.
