ok, first Photoshop question (1 Viewer)

[N.U.G.]

hey guys,

a friend of mine sent me this Photoshop template

http://originalflavaz.com/Contact Template.psd

can someone please how explain I can change the text so that the "me"s are removed i.e. instead of saying "message me" i want it to say just "message"

thanks!

In the layer window, select the 'message me' layer.

Click the text toolbar button, and use it on the "message me" text.

You should thus be able to edit/remove what you please - works here

Look on the bottom-right box thingy and select the tab "Layers"
Double click on "message me" and edit it as if it's just text.

thanks, that was easy!

now how to I make the changes effect the template as at the moment it still shows the original text?

 

[bscienceboi]

Go to Each Layer labelled "..... Me"

Select Eraser tool

Erase Me (Rasterize the layer - click on the scren with eraser then select OK when asked)

Select next ".... Me"

Repeat.

Give me your addy, cause I've done it and I can send it over via MSN.

If you're using photoshop CS there should be a tick button on the top toolbar.
Click the tick when you finished editing the text.

Will add you later tonight.

The layers you see are at the bottom right corner.

T represents TEXT and each layer (layer-->graphics on a piece of paper, layers--> multiple pages on top of one another to form a whole image).

IF you say, click on Message Layer, then it means you want to edit only the text on that layer/page.

I think you've double clicked on the title of the layer rather than the layer thumbnail.

By doing this, you've only changed the name of the layer not the actual text.

This screenshot shows what you should double-click to edit a text (green circle) and what you should click to confirm your changes (red circle).

Yes there is a folder for fonts

From memory, Photoshop uses your Microsoft folder to search for fonts.
