this is my first post as a member of any forum, so please bear with me

i wanted to contribute to this great game/ project, so i am making some base necks from a few photos i took, then played with their colors a bit. i am somewhat new to image editing as well, so these basically stand on their merit as photos

this first small set is simply off a cloud photo and its derivatives. i put these up because i enjoy simply their look and mellow feel. i also enjoy the color, and felt they were muted enough not to overwhelm the notes.

that's it for now, hope you enjoy. will add more as i get better. sidebar; i use mainly gimpshop with a little of adobe PS for the editing, if there are any simple tips anyone one like to offer, id be grateful. don't need a tutorial, just some handy info.

thanks
peace

Handy info : The tip is to make images that will connect like a mosaic, so you won't see any "break" when you play.
By looking at your images, I can easily say that you'll see a huge ugly break in the neck when you'll use these.
Look at TXF's necks for an example of what I mean, because it's kinda hard for me to explain in english since it's not my mother tongue ^^

also, stay away from using Photoshop filters on the necks and keep them darker and not the focus point of the board, they are the background, the notes are the focus, make the neck accordingly.
