Cruise Magnet graphics and links

[cruisecrzy]

LA Headlights BTN (as well as other faces in the family) is available from myfonts, one of my favorite font sources. Runs about $12.99 per face.

Now if only I could figure out how to add text to a picture in Photoshop.... I know it's something about layers, but the weather here in L.A. is pretty consistent, so we don't usually need to dress in layers - and why would what I'm wearing matter?

Here are the rough directions to adding test to picture

1. open a new file with your picture in it. It will default to the name of the layer as background. Change the name.

2. Type in the words you want. I use Boris Black Boxx (got it from one of the font sites for free..may have been the myfonts site) and then I use like 200pt or larger.

3. Now you must drag the layer with the picture in it on top of what you just typed.

4. Hold the ALT key down and click between the two layers. you will get this ball that looks half black and half white. Release and you should see a link betwee the two.

5. Finally use the select tool and manuver around until you like what you have showing in the text.


If this does not make sense I can post you profssionally done directions. I just do not have the time right now to get them scanned in for you. I can also get you other ones that are professionally done as well.

Goodluck!!!

Thanks, Michelle! I did look at the Help section of Photoshop today and have a better understanding (not sure if that's the proper word to use for what I have) of how layers work.

I'll try your directions and see if it works for me. (Big conference at work for me this week and I'm staying at the conference site. May not be able to try it until the end of the week when I'm back home....) I appreciate the help!

I would love to see the big ones close up! Especially the one with Mickey Floating in the pool!

Where did you get the bat, spider and pumpkin with Mickey ears? They are at the top of one of the doors. They are so cool!

Thanks

I can't remember where I got either of these graphics. I think I got them from these boards months ago.

cruisecrzy -- will this work for Photoshop CS2?

 

[cruisecrzy]

Yup, it should work for any version....especially the full blown mother of Photoshops. Which is actually the directions I originally used when I learned. It was a tutorial for Photoshop CS2.

Hello everyone! I am back from my cruise and have some fresh graphics I scanned from DCL merchandise and luggage tags too! It will take time to post it all because I have to scan and crop the items to make them suitable. Here is a sample for today.

Here is the previous picture cropped into to separate pieces.

I hope you had a great cruise bevtoy. Anxious to see all the graphics. I know they'll all be great. Thank you in advance for taking the time to post them all.

Of what use would a Mickey Mouse paper clip be? I don't know but I liked it.

I really like this one.
