And mostly modest too.

Soo would this mean you declare Wabbit the winner (with 3 votes)? To wit: Cc4FuzzyHuggles-April 4, My modest self-Aug 14 & now your fine communiqué-Aug. 23

Stuart First Welcome to Pant. Net As to using the various "tools" I would suggest a reading of the General Discussion area may give you much guidance. The quick answer to you question is this, only one of several possibilities.. Again Welcome

Well I'm still mostly confused- its me not you- but as to the "Goodnight Nurse" theme, its just "what the doctor ordered" I like it. So thanks again for you continued hard work . aside to self- 'course he has all this spare time -after all its winter down there and he's probably shut in by all those winter snows

Maximilian has a good handle on this situation. If your finding yourself in an "bla" place; Try another aspect of PDN you aren't too familiar with or a technique you have never tried. That way you'll give your mind a rest from the usual projects. Then you never know you may find a new tool/talent you can use to advance on to a new skill level. .

Oh Good heavens! These fine artists deserve to be recognized for their effort sooner than in 5 months. Come on folks get the lead vote out. Me? why, I like the Wabbits use of colors and the style of the font. Though RFX has an intriguing idea. Wabbit + 2 RFX + 1

I knew there were some good guys with great help out there. Cheers

2K25 Yes it can be done. My idea may or may not do what you need in your specific case, but here goes: 1st keep in mind you can have as many layers as you want- like a book can have 2 or 100 pages . So you currently have 2 layers; background = text and layer 1 which has "a texture" . Now add a layer 2 on which you put your picture. OK? What I would suggest is to use your "magic wand tool " click on the text and have the background "disappear" leaving only the text and its texture. Select All (copies layer), move to your picture layer and paste the copied text to it (layer 2) . this should get you what you want. I'm sure there are many more efficient and effective ways that others will offer , but this is my " fast and dirty" way

Welcome Reggie. As an addition to EER's fine suggestion; You can, if the text is not covering a part you want to save, use the "cropping tool" to remove the offending item

Markie Well done . You have a good eye on how to employ the tools as well as how to crop for the most effective layout. Keep trying different things, to get a feel of how to get PDN to work best for you.

THAT long ago?!?!? goodness me, time flies OK back to subject at hand; I like this tute because it is a clear, clean, presentation of how to make a cloud; even with all the individual steps there is a logic in the flow of information and great graphics to show us (OK, me) how to do it. pdnoob

Ego Eram Reputo Sucess! the directions you and Rick ( ) gave, did the trick. I did have to download the Win self extractor. Thanks to Rick's instructions it worked like a charm All is well now, in Scooter Land, where the PDNs can now play and the tutorials, can dance in the fields.........?too much? ....'thought as much Seriously thank you for the help and thank Scott too, when you see him

Yes, I have read the pinned solutions above but nothing seemed to correct my situation- Though I tried them, to the best of my limited understanding of computer-eze. I have tried to install the Ver 4.5 and have been stopped by the following error messages. See 4.5instal fail After much frustration - all install fails seem to be hung up on finding a correct "staging" file. So, I canceled the update and went back to the 3. version I had tried to up date. Now it would not work see 4pt5 NG2 After repeating the same install procedure -hoping I had missed a step, the results were the same. No update ; No previous version; No joy. I did a "computer restore" which brought back the 3.5 but now, even with a "PDN repair" attempt, I got the error message : ERROR 591B I created a mess of the whole thing. Having tried to delete the existing version and trying a clean instal of the new version; the results are still a fail . If I could get some specific steps to follow, though I understand it is a pain. I have reached my knowledge limit and I would be most grateful.

For the love of pete does it always have to be this hard? OK FF your composition is fine, the "swerling space-ie'" background is intriguing. Your font choice and its color is very stark and sharp....well except for the blur. Not sure about the need for the blur, but interesting choice. RX your talent is evident in both your current signature and your checkered past oops I mean, Entry. Very crisp and well executed, good contrast with the red text , shading on the ball may be a touch heavy, but not bad. FotoFactory - 0 Racerx - 2

Well this was a lot of fun Thank You toe_head2001

Yep mighty fine revision TR I'll get it in a moment

Heartiest Congratulations! Cc4FuzzyHuggles, great job. Toe_head and Pixey, a much deserved "Well Done"

Good Heavens you guys don't make it an easy choice. after much hemming and hawing ;I vote Beta0 = 1 Ishi = 1

So, you have been busy. No resting on your gradient blending laurels, for long. This is a very clean use of the provides tools and I think gives much more control for those instances where the "usual" drop shadow is not able to be adjusted to your requirements.

UH,Just your basic WOW! Your pictures and text are Great- I understand the idea very well. Many Thanks for your work

Racerx thanks from me to. looks workable for me ( -I slow some times) An Pixey ; Pixeys don't get old, they just get cleverer and cleverer and clev......well you get the idea

renee A most impressive result for your hard work. Legibility is light years ahead and the visibility of the characters is much improved. Re: "embossing Give Bolt Baits page a read and download, if you have not already done so. http://http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=11514 bonne chance

toe_head2001 Well Done. Simple, the way you present it.

Kerning is the amount of space between each individual character that you type.
