Strickalator Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I need to use a tool in paint that will let me create complex word ballons...with colors and effects like ice,fire ect or shiver cold to show emotion I also need the point tip of the word balloon to come at an angle so it is smooth and appears to come from the character... like this Quote Shawn Edward Strickland "The Strickalator" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Just use those! :-) Magic wand out the background, and paste them in. Resize to taste. Would this not work? Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wither Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Select that. Set the tolerance to about 20-30 I'd say. Then hold shift and click anywhere there is white. Quote YouTube | Myspace | deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Or...draw a lasso selection around the bubble you want and copy/paste it to its own layer, then change the layer blending mode to "Multiply" and fill the white back in on its own layer below the speech bubble. This way you get no jaggies. Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Nah, use the awesome Alpha Mask plugin to get rid of the white background. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, use the awesome Alpha Mask plugin to get rid of the white background. ^Two very good methods. I would use one of those (if you end up using the clip art). For icy bubbles, I would look at this: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=21239&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a Hope that's helpful. Quote v An excellent open–source strategy game—highly recommended.

TeachesWithPDN Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 If you are trying to make photo comics, may I suggest an awesome software program called Comic Life? It has a full selection of word balloons etc as well as some nice comic fonts... I use Comic Life to teach basic digital photography (composition, framing etc) and basic image manipulation to Year 7 students in a fun, entertaining way. You can find this software (free 40-day trial) at http://www.plasq.com/downloads/. To register it as a full version (home use) costs about US$25...
