Not exactly new (rendering)

help. I'm trying to render a text but I just couldn't.


I saw this one in this website

http://www.teamphotoshop.com/photoshop/tutorials/text/rough_metal_text/rough_metal_text.php

unfortunately, I'm using Photoshop 6 so the layer/type/render described in the page doesn't work for me.

guess ur a real beginner....

render a text : right click the "T" on the text layer and click render
reserve transparency : look at the layers panel, the option on just below the layer mode. check that.

all this can be found in the manual, so read it....
tutorials on these can be found all over the net and in teamphotoshop.com

I'm using Photoshop 6

What T? The one on the sidebar (text?)? Am I supposed to click the text layer?

read the manual.... cause its kinda irritating...

read the ps6 tutorials here... or find related threads

btw.... render in ps6 is raster....

yes, the "T" icon on the text layer in the layers pallet.... "right click" on it and select "rasterize"

I'm really sorry for being irritating. I'm a super newbie here so I apologize. Thanks for the help.

One more thing. How can I preserve transparency?

Don't worry about being irritating...
EVERYONE has to start somewhere....
and this is a place to get questions answered.

PReserve transparency in PS 6 is the check box on the layers pallet that is now called "lock transparent pixels"

You ain't irritating me.... I cant sleep.... so I work!

Thanks a lot. I could have been doing this forever if I haven't stumbled to you (been doing photoshop today for 7 hours straight).

That was tough, I didn't notice that little checker thingy was the preserve transparency.

Thanks a ton!

7 hours? just tutorial hopping?

well, hopefully the novelty won't wear off anytime soon.

if i were u, i'd stay with photoshop 5/5.5

cause 6 has too many changes, and not too many 6 tutorials now

no need to apologize.. btw welcome to teamps
