[webmojo]

When the video was made it was in fact blue but some how when it was transfered the colors changed

[AlphaFirstPlatoon]

at 0:44 did he said blue? Color blind? Not yellow and yellow-orange?

[0042090]

@AlphaFirstPlatoon I think all of his blue (cold) colors are edited to orange (warm) colors if you look to his Windows bar and Ps Interface.. i was like Wtf too =p

gr8 tutorial but the words and numbers where a bit blurry but over all great explaining! x)

[onnoman]

why did you say blue, when i see yellow? :s:s

[DynasticProductionz]

help sometimes my fireworks freezes up and i cant click anythink exept file etc

[GiveMeUrCookies]

@DynasticProductionz probably abit late reply but i guess the main problem on a computer when it frezzes up, a program (fireworks,flash,illustartor,p­hotoshop and so on) ,its either the computer RAM (main problem for lagging devoping/drawing tools,also one off the problem for games), or the main card at the computer. so buy one of those at what the worst one of the options.

sorry i messed up my answer, try understanding it.

[DynasticProductionz]

@GiveMeUrCookies Yeah i understand :) Thankss

[GiveMeUrCookies]

@DynasticProductionz it can be expensive but if you want a good pc and a not lagging or freezing pc you should do it ,IF you have windows vista or 7 based pc you can just check the rating and you fast find out what makes the freezing.

still it could just be a virus or something, but you find that out.

[DynasticProductionz]

@GiveMeUrCookies Yeah, uhm does a Mac work better for this stuff. Video editing, etc?

[GiveMeUrCookies]

@DynasticProductionz i would recommend a mac, but becouse its so expansive i would more rather recommend an upgrade. but IF you never wanna come into any problems you should buy an ugraded/chipped Macbook pro 15" 2.66 HGz, i use one and i really recommend it, i use it for everything animation,gamming (smooth,no lagg and accurate) and game developement, editing (video animation etc.) and the generally stuff like internet and chatting. I really recommend it.

[DynasticProductionz]

@GiveMeUrCookies Thank you.

great man

[iKnowBetterThanBest]

For me it looks better if you add a dark color at the botton, it gives it more volume.

[afixus]

Thats genius man!

nice to see a tutorial done by a fellow yorkshire man

[erett2000]

for the transparency rather than doing all that masking you can just change the opacity in the gradient color selection.

[webmojo]

Totally correct when I did the tutorial I was using this method , I now use the method you suggested.

I no longer use fireworks and have gone totally open source so I now use Inkscape and this tutorial works well there with a little adaptation including your gradient suggestion

[erett2000]

cool! i think im going to try out inkscape. and this tutorial is very well done!

[joshkrz]

Mate your amazing. A fellow yorkshireman.

I'm just starting out as a web designer and this is improving my fireworks skills already.

Thanks.

[Sqroob]

You kept saying it was blue, even though it was yellow, but it still worked.

[webmojo]

It was blue when it was recorded but when it was played back it came out yellow something to do with the encoding
