I always thought of myself as a detail person given the way I earned my crust but I'm coming to the conclusion that I was just a novice.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-30300446582093138432013-07-08T13:22:48.967+01:002013-07-08T13:22:48.967+01:00Just in case anyone who is unfamiliar with fonts i...Just in case anyone who is unfamiliar with fonts is reading this it comes as a solid colour. Or if one presses Caps Lock it just gives an outline. Pretty cool. A genius he was who designed it. Then one has to use layer styles to fill it in.

It is the least intuitive of filters in PS is distort. That is giving it high praise! The problem I have is that I have to rastorise type layers and then can't edit. It's why I'm spending an hour a day learning 3D. It is always editable. Even after it's rendered. I just give it a couple of minutes render and start all over. 3D will let one use 2D. Brilliant it is. <br />There is a wee box that let's me customise blend modes...Blend IF! They call it. Makes sense to a graphics person. I hope! I found it, tried it and wasn't happy but I assume if I'm ever going to get my head around it I have to keep trying. <br />I'm getting quicker if not better the truck took five minutes, ten if you include finding a free font and installing it. The Font is Zit. from Dafont.

If you ever decide to do a modern layout then let me know I ought to be able to write on the stone/brick work.<br /><br />When this one is finished you could make another layer above it....like a before and after.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-51893357767899928432013-07-07T16:13:06.146+01:002013-07-07T16:13:06.146+01:00Now that has iced the cake or grimed the mill beau...Now that has iced the cake or grimed the mill beautifully.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
