Cruise Magnet Graphics and Links - part 2

[milliepie]

I would LOVE to have Photoshop but since it costs way too much for me right now, I use PhotoImpact Pro. It does what I need it to do. It is complicated at first, but a little experimenting and now I'm halfway there to figuring out the whole thing. I love using this to make the names with pics inside too because unlike Word or publisher I can move the pic around inside, use more than one pic and play with it a bit more. I can't really compare it to anything else though because I've never used anything else.

Hope that helps a bit.

Thank you Rhonda! When I see what everyone is doing on this thread I am just amazed. I need to quit being cheap and upgrade my self to a new program. I would like to know what types of programs everyone else is using and how well they like it. I really dislike the one I have now its 2 years old and I was never very happy with it but the good ones are fairly expensive.

On another note M & M's now have Disney graphics available on the ir candy at the website but its definitely $$$$

I have Office Word but still cant figure out how to fill in words with pictures.

I just learned this myself. In MS word you make sure you have can see the wordart toolbar (VIEW -> Toolbars -> wordart )
Then up on the toolbars you'll see an A tilted on it's right side. Double click it. You'll get a popup of different wordart styles, select one and you'll get a popup letting you enter the word you want and select the font you want (try BaloonDExtBol or something like that with some girth) then hit ok and your word shows up. Click on it to select then right click and select "Format Word Art"
On the popup click on the color they have there and select "fill effects". Another popup will have tabs at the top one of which is "picture". Click it and at the bottom click select picture to indicate which picture you want inside the letters. Hopefully you can take it from there.
Hope that helps, it's fun once you figure it out!

WOW is all I can say. Very creative stuff here. I hope to up my posts(I'm new here) so I can post a link to an image I am trying out for our magnet. On our last cruise I just made a scrapbook page for each of our doors but I am inspired to go all out next time.....Thank you all for sharing your talents....ps when can I post a picture in my post?

Hope these are the right size!?! I was thinking of adding their names to the pics for a door magnet..what do you think? Everyone needs pixie dust!

I'm so excited I just have to share some things I've made thanks to other disigners here on the board! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us here on the disboards!

I have borrowed some of their graphics and my kids helped me to disign their own!

These are great. My middle son was watching over my shoulder and he just loves Chip N Dale. So I was wondering if I could get this one for him with no text.

Thank you so much.

Sure,

Thank you Thank you. He loves it!!! Quick question..if I want to use it for a t shirt would it be best to put a border around this or cut each letter out individually?

Beautiful designs, everyone!

I have never been successful in downloading the Disney font. I just got a new computer, and am willing to give it one more shot. Does anyone know a safe site to download this font from?

TIA!

TIA!

I use the following site to download all my Disney fonts from:

http://i-love-disney.com/downloads/disney-cartoon-fonts/

1. Click on the font you want to download
2. Save it to a file on your computer
3. Once downloaded, go directly to that file
4. This site downloads it in True style font, not a zip file, so in another window, open your fonts folder.
5. Here's where mine is ( open COMPUTER, then open C:, then open WINDOWS, then open FONTS.
6. You should now have two windows open, one with the fonts folder, and one with the newly downloaded font.
7. Drag and drop the downloaded Font (should be a box with the letter T in it and the name of the font below that box) into your fonts folder.
8. Now in any of your programs for which you can change the font, your new font should be there.

If you download from a site that gives the font to you in a compressed Zip format, you will need to unzip it first then drag and drop into the fonts folder.
Hope I explained this correctly.

Thanks for the explicit directions - it worked!!!! Hopefully I'll be able to access it from Photoshop Elements!
