TUTORIALS | ICONS | TEXTURES | FONTS | PSDS


Before you ask for the original of a picture, PLEASE try looking for it yourself through the galleries I list below. I know it’s time consuming and tedious, but it’s just as much so for me to do it.


ASK:



FAQ:


Where can I download Photoshop for free? Where can I download Topaz for free?

Here are a few links.


What program do you use to edit your photos?

I use Photoshop CS2.


Where do you get your pictures from?


What PSDs do you use?

For my colored photos, I use either this PSD by rainbowcolorings, or this, this, or this PSD by prettylittlecolorings. Often I use a mix of two or more. For my black and white photos, I just add a gradient on top. 


What texture did you use on this post?

I use either one or more of four textures on my edits: the one from this PSD by rainbowcolorings, the one from this PSD by mymockingjay, and number 2 and 4 from this pack by northerndawn.


Will you please post one of your colorings or PSDs?

The individual links to the PSDs I use are above and I posted the one I used to use a lot here. I only mix or edit PSDs. I do not make my own. I will not post my version of their PSDs because the people who posted them originally do not want their work reposted. 


Will you follow me back?

I’m sorry, I don’t follow back! I just feel like tumblr is a place where you can follow whoever you want and I shouldn’t feel obligated to follow a blog I don’t like. If you ask, I will certainly check your blog out, but I will only follow you if I truly like your blog. 


What’s your theme?

My main theme is Theme 2 by mcpoyles. My blogroll theme is this one by polinomial. I know they both look slightly different, but it’s because I edited the coding of the theme.


Why aren’t you answering your questions?

I am. All the answers to any questions asked can be found here.


When did you start your blog?

April, 2010.


How did you get so many followers?

I don’t even know how to answer this! I mean I didn’t do anything special. I didn’t ask for promotion. I didn’t ask people to follow me back. I didn’t do anything weird or particularly out of the ordinary to get this many followers. The amount of followers you have honestly just comes down to how many people enjoy what you post, and I’m fortunate enough to have many people like that :)


How did you get your ask like this?

I created a new page with the ending “/faq”, typed out my FAQ, then pasted this code at the top of it. I then made a new blog with the URL ofabeautifulnightquestions. In the ask code, I directed the questions to ofabeautifulnightquestions instead of ofabeautifulnight so that I could post them there instead.  


How do you sharpen your edits?

I use either Filter > Sharpen, Filter > Smart Sharpen, or this action. This depends on the quality of the picture. The settings I use for my smart sharpen also depend on the picture’s quality, but most often they are 0.3 at 100%.


How do you make a blogroll?

Create a new page (Customize > Pages > Add a page). Under “Page Type”, click the drop down menu (which should say “Standard Layout”). Change this to “Custom Layout”. Paste in this code. To change the icon size, change the 96 to either 16, 24, 30, 40, 48, 64, or 128. To get my blogroll theme, use this code by polinomial instead.


Can I request an edit?

Of course! I cannot guarantee I will make it (I won’t if I don’t like the person or just honestly don’t want to) but I welcome requests :) For now, I am not taking icon, background, or personal requests (i.e. a shirt design, invitation design, poster design, etc) but feel free to request anyone/anything else.


What are the dimensions of your photosets?

If there are three pictures per row, each should be 160px in width. If there are two per row, each should be 245px in width. The height does not matter for each picture, as long as you keep it consistent and under 400px (for further sizing guide, check this post out). I would also recommend resizing each photo before sharpening.


Why did you unfollow me?

I unfollow blogs if they either post an excessive amount of hate (on a celebrity, a person, anything really), start posting a lot from fandoms I’m not part of, repost someone else’s edit, or just post edits I don’t like. Please, please, please do not ask me why I unfollowed you. I get very uncomfortable answering questions like this! I just really don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.


What are some Dramione fics you can recommend?

A few of my favorites are “Isolation” by bex-chan, “What the Room Requires” by Alydia Rackham, “A Marriage Most Convenient” by AnneM, “Water” by kissherdraco, “The Science of it All” by provocative envy, “How We Imagined Light” by horcruxnumber8, and “The Revenant” by atalanta84.
