Hello everyone * a newbie on board * Ok I have so many questions so I am gonna start with hopefully the most simple and hopefully not stupid question. First let me say I am talented in Paintshop Pro and I have been wanting to play in photoshop but never took the time to learn cause it seems so advanced. Paintshop Pro to me is great program and with the advantges of the extra plugins that you are allowed to dabble with, they help to bring out the creative side, BUT Paintshop pro is lacking on the text side. I feel my text in psp is pretty dam good but I wanna do more with the font work but with Paintshop pro its lacking. Here is some of my work with Paintshop pro if interested, http://smilesntorn2002.com/Gallarynavagation.html Ok so I finally decided to break down and go out and buy photoshop, I found a good price on photoshop 6 and bought it. Well the problom i ran into is alot of the tutorials are mostly for photoshop and the terms are so advanced for me since I dont know my way around in photoshop. I actully fell in love with the font tutorials here and that is the area that I went to the first thing when I was told about this site here. I was lost on the one tutorial on the smooth gel. it says "Once you have your text done go to Layer/Type/Render" I found the layer but other than that I didnt see the rest of what I was suppose to do, so I decided to just fake it and continue on, and in the end didnt look nothing like I was suppose to do. So I guess that is my question. How do I go to Layer/Type/Render ? Another question. Once i make a new image and apply a font the image turns a off pinkish, and you cannot seem to move the letter I use. In Paintshop pro you can have a floating font that allows you to do all your drop shaddows or effects that you wanna do. Last question for now. Should i have bought paintshop pro 7 instead? I really hate to hear that be answered since I payed so much for the photoshop 6. Is there a place where i can download photoshop 5 and learn from that and then advance on? I hope my questions arent that stupid, and can easily be answered. I appreciate anyones thoughts, and If you cant tell from my paintshop pro images of my gallary I am taking computer graphics very serious. thanks and looking forward to some replys ~Torn~ |

1. Layer/Type/Render Type (must be 5.0) seems to be the same as Layer/Rasterize/Type (in 6.0). 2. When you have the Type tool selected, open the options bar if it isn't already and go to the 2 buttons on the top left, next to the large T. The reason why it becomes off-pinkish is because the text options is in "Create a new text mask or selection" mode. In order to type normally, click on the button to the left of it (it has a solid T in it). 3. Stick with Photoshop, once you learn alot more techniques and start to building on your skills, you can do alot more things that you can never do with PSP. |

here we go! 1. i always use this command... select the text right click on it... then select resterized text. 2. photoshop is great cuz it protect the other layers position!... heres some tips press [v] shortcut for move tool, then check the box that writen "show bounding box"... just hold ctrl left click on layer you want! ctrl+shift if you want to link some layers! now the shadow effect are different topic... just hold alt, L, Y, enter you will see a window that includes dropshadows and some effects! 3. now for that paintshop pro7, Photoshop are for professionals so be professional... and for that downloading i think u must have kazaa then search for programs u like to download for other ppl. i think u can also have photoshop 6-7! hope this answers ur problem.;) |
