Oh my God. I learned a very important lesson today. Always fucking save your document before messing around with filters in Photoshop. My fucking wallpaper was nearly finished. *smashes head against desk repeatedly*
Seriously, where's a crying smiley when you need one?
I estimate that I'd gone at least an hour without saving. There Sky was, with a nice little pink background and a perfect combination of blending effects and drop shadows. All I really needed to do was reduce the graininess a bit on Sky herself. For some odd reason, though, I wanted to mess around with some other filters.
And I didn't fucking save. Argh!
I suppose it won't take a long-ass time to reach that point again, since I essentially know exactly what I'd like to do. It's just a damn shame that Photoshop 7 doesn't fucking autosave. And my motivation is now decimated for tonight.
Don't worry, Sky: I'll have your wallpaper ready very soon. And by 'soon', I certainly don't mean 'tonight'. After all, how would I possibly finish a project like this if I destroy my computer tonight? Another crash in the same night would likely result in such a thing. I'll just take a break from it for now.
Aaaaaaanyway…
I work at both jobs tomorrow, but I'll certainly try to finish it tomorrow night. I have your form entirely cut out, and I've even managed to retain the fuzzy outline of your boots. I'm really proud of myself, actually.
