installing fonts:

As for backgrounds, I use the wave filter a lot (filter>distort>wave) and the lense flare filter (filter>render>lense flare). there's lots of sites that have tutorials, such as voidix.com, spoono.com, teamphotoshop.com, stridingstudio.com/tutorials

I just tried it today....I am just using a Ricky Davis photo right now...when I copy and paste him onto the new 466 X 98 image only about half (less than that actually) of him appears on it....would I have to readjust the size of the sig or what? Also is there a way to customize the color of the glow you want on the letters in the sig instead of just using the ones that photoshop provides?

You can adjust the size of hi, after you copy and paste, by going to EDIT>Free Transform(i think). and its just like resizing any image. And how are uyou making the letters glow? I can help you depending on how.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Now, the joy of adding text. Click the text tool (). At the top of the screen, choose the font and size you want. I chose Planet Kosmos at 38pt. Choose the color you want. Now, click inside your image and add your text. When you're done, click the move tool, and move it place it where you want. Go over to the layer pallet and double click on the top layer (it should have the T symbol on it):

A new window will pop up. Click on the bar that says "Outer Glow". In the box that says "structure", set the blend mode to normal (in the drop down window). Choose what color you want as the glow in the box with the yellow in it. Keep spread set to 0, and play around with the size until you find something you like. I'm using 13. When you're done, press ok. </div>

I do it like that....

i don't know how to make those sick backgrounds on adobe photoshop 7.0.... can someone help me??

 

[slamduncan21]

Try voidix.com, shadowness.com, teamphotoshop.com, deviantart.com

 

[VinsanityMK]

thanks, those sites rock....

lol, i have one more question. What tool do u use to get the picture onto the sig.

a lot say eraser, but i don't get it how they do it with the eraser tool.

 

[VinsanityMK]

here is my first piece of art.

 

[slamduncan21]

What do you mean? It looks like you used the eraser on your current sig.

 

[VinsanityMK]

I didn't. I used the free-hand lasso, it was really hard too... I want to find out a way thats easier.

 

[Rudeezy]

I still can't figure out how to make one. Maybe its because I'm using Adobe Photoshop 6.0?

 

[Sasha]

The best thing to use in my opinion is the eraser tool, the lasso tool is too hard. All you have to do is use different sizes at different times. For example, when cutting out an area under the ear, or near the armpit, use a smaller size. For almost everything else, use a bigger one.

Some other good sites are as follows:

</div>

Haha that's no excuse man, I've made tonnes on 5.0 and they've all turned out fine

 

[Sasha]

Rudeezy 6.0 is no different than 7.0. I see no changes, older users might, they even say that 6.0 is better in someway, some that I will never discover probably.

If you tell us what kind of problems you are having, we might be able to help you.
