Welcome to the Dragon's Breath Resource Forum.

This forum's purpose is to provide a resource to graphics program users. We provide information for graphics programs, such as Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, DAZ Studio, Poser, Carrara, Bryce, and others as the members deem necessary.

Where to start? First finish reading this message. Then, jump down to the bottom of the main page and read the Forum Help Section.

You will need to register as a member to see the ENTIRE forum. Click Register at the very top of the main page.

As you scroll down the main page and scan through the different forums, you will see that we organized the forum to help you find things.

There is a place for you to chat and get to know the other members of this board. General Chat.

There are galleries for the 3 main software serviced by this forum. It is in these gallieries that you will find the weekly tut assignments. So RDB Graphics needs to visit the PSP Gallery, and RDB Photoshop needs to visit the Photoshop Gallery.

There are links to tutorials for the various graphics programs. These are for your own personal education. They are not assignments, but just to help you learn more.

There are links to freebies or goodies to help you use the various programs.

There is a section on Members-- here you can invite them to visit your website or join your groups.

There is a section on Help at the bottom. Help for each program and for the forum board is posted here. That would be a good place to post if you cannot find something you need.

Please try to post appropriately in the forum sections. If you accidentally post somewhere in the wrong place, that's ok. One of the moderators will move it when they are told about it.

Please enjoy yourself while you are here. All we ask is that you try to participate by chatting, joining in the learning groups, or by posting links to goodies/tutorials.


Rules that this forum will enforce:
1. You must participate at least once a month -- posting a goodie link, sharing a graphic you made, replying to someone's post, asking a question, etc.

2. Please use proper group etiquette when posting--no obscenities, no fighting, no flaming -- only dragons can do that!

3. No flaming of members or non-members in this group. If you cannot say something positive, then don't say anything at all. Pam will immediately delete any member who will not abide by this rule.

Likewise, if you think something needs to be brought to the owners' attention, please PM DragonBreath

4. This group is intended for G-13 audience, so please only tasteful nudity. Because the DAZ/Poser program uses doll manequins (like Barbie Dolls), you may see some 'form of nudity' in undressed dolls.

In your graphics, you may post only tasteful nudity: bare bottoms are ok, bare backs are ok, bare chests with covered nipples are ok, covered lower front areas (skimpy) is ok.

You may NOT post extreme nudity: uncovered nipples is NOT ok, pornographic material (any kind of sexual intercourse whether it is between two male dolls, two female dolls, animals, mixed gender or what have you) is NOT ok, bare lower front areas is NOT ok. Pubic hair on lower front areas does NOT count as covering!

5. This is a support group to help each of us learn to use graphics software. That means members must feel free to ask questions when they need to. Please try to read the forums first, in case your question was answered -- BUT if you think your question has not been answered, ask away!

Likewise, other members should be supportive in their answers. If you can answer a question, be as detailed as possible in your explanation.

When commenting on other's work -- use it as a learning experience. Always (1) state what you like about the posted graphic first, (2) If you do have some suggestions on improving the item, make suggestions but be sure to list them as suggestions.

If you really do not like what is posted, keep your mouth shut then. There's no need to hurt someone else's feelings.

6. All comments on copyright should be sent PRIVATELY to the owner: DragonBreath. The purpose of this group is to share what we learn about DAZ--not to become a forum for arguing about copyright issues.

If you feel something has been posted that is a violation of this group's philosophy or rules, then PM the owner, DragonBreath

If you get suggestions from another member, and you didn't like them -- don't follow them. They are only suggestions.

We are all one big happy family, and we would like to stay that way. So take a deep breath and let's have some fun.
