Ivica, love the blood spray! How did you get a 1200 wide image to be that small? I really need that skill.
Best, Tom.

Tom, there would seem to be a lot of freebie .jpeg reducers around, here
is one that I found,

you owe it to yourself to check out http://www.fookes.com for easy thumbnails. tom your life is about to get wayyyy easier. I've used this for a couple years now and find it awesome - especially for creating video from SU.
Output animation as huge jpegs from SU, then thumbnail them to the appropriate size in a batch - takes no time at all with this app, then use virtual dub to create animation (avi) from the jpeg series... cut in some audio using Atmosphere deluxe (thanks to Alan Booth on that one!) and presto!

Roger Wilco, will do tomorrow and let you know...thanks bunch guys!

Ivica, still like your pic (in fact, it's now my screen saver so I can study your focus/blur composition a bit longer...won't last long there though, I'm old you know, just ask Mike :`)

I am glad you like it.Tom here is how I made that effect.First I made three images from sketchup each one is little bit different from other.In photoshop first I made with warious tools blood then I add image,one that is farest and there I add radial(zoom blur) only on the left warrior,then second image with transparency in photoshop about 20 and full radial zoom (30%) and then 3rd image with transparency about 7-10% with full radial blur about 40-50%.After that I added little ''Diffuse glow''(It gives image some little soft looking)
I did not use any converter to get image smaller.I have imported image in artrage and there added hair to warriors and some other small details,after that I saved image as JPG file and get 58 KB's.That is all I hope this will help you.You are not to old to learn.We all learn our entire life

I like blur in images but with photoshop ''Radial blur'' you get bloor effect and warrior movement effect,really usefull and great tool.

Ivica, thank you for your detailed response. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you (and I'm still not really ready to reply :`) but I've been studying all you said and light bulbs have been coming on all over the place...so I'm still a bit blinded. I've known for some time it's time to starting working image areas differently and yours is a good example why!

I'll respond with a "learned" image (when I've learned more).
Best, Tom.
