Hi All,

I found this (http://b3design.ch/soap.jpg) at adobe studio share. It's a action that unfortunatly doesn't work with PS CS (It was made for 5.0). I need an affect exactly like that, or similar at least. Does anyone have an action like that or ideas? ALternatively, is there some way to make that action compatible with CS? I have no idea when it comes to actions so I would'nt know where to start... :(

Any help would be great!

P.S: the action is here: http://share.studio.adobe.com/axAssetDetailSubmit.asp?aID=1160&back=http%3A%2F%2Fshare%2Estudio%2Eadobe%2Ecom%2FaxQuickSearchSubmit%2Easp%3Fr%3D0%26pgsel1%3D2

I just got it to work...I think, and yeah I'm using CS.
Assuming it's supposed to look like this
(except for the black letters, that was my fault. ;) ):



Geez, now I don't remember what all I just did to get this to work. Main thing that seemed to help was to first take the brushes they give you with the action and install them REPLACING you current brushes (so the soap bubble brushes are the only ones Photoshop sees). I think there was a few other things too, but I am just dead tired and should be in bed. I'll come back around tomorrow and try to help some more if you or someone else hasn't got it figured out yet.

Why not make your own brush? Those brushes from adobe are nice but nowhere near as nice as they could be.... make your own instead...
Something like this:



I used that brush to make this image:


I used a selection of the text to make a work path and then I stroked the path with my new brush. The bubbles that overlap the text have a slight shadow on them but those are details....

EDIT=That would make for a nice tut I think - Pank let me know if you want it taken further..I'll make it more explicit if you want to use it.
