pretty sure we tried when you wanted multiple MILF helmets... you haven't learned very much in two months, have you?

That looks 10X better than the one I tried to teach him how to do.....

thanks for the pic. I actually have tried but I cant figure it out. I really appreciate all the help. If also you can tell me how you did this so I can practice, I would appreciate it. Thanks

open the picture in photoshop (you have 7.0 if I remember correctly). Duplicate the layer (in case you screw up you have the original). Use the eyedropper to match the purple and the paintbrush to cover the old type. Use the text tool to type MILF (once you have it typed, you can fool around with the typeface/size... Use the eyedropper to match the color). In a nutshell

but do you just eye ball to see what text to use?

I don't always have one to match exactly, so yes... Oh - and for outline fonts. Match the outline color on the text tool. Once sized, right click and rasterize the layer. Use the magic wand to select inside the letters (hold down shift if they are separated - you know what I mean) then fill with a 2nd color of your choosing.

Hope this helps

You're using 7.0, right? When you are on the text tool, look at your top menu bar - there should be a "curve text" set of options. Get it as close as you can... Afterwards, you can rasterize it and maybe tweak it with some of the skew/distort free transform options.

CS2 and up it's a lot easier... rasterize the layer and use "warp" under free transform....

(I'm pretty sure... I uninstalled everything before CS2, so I don't remember exactly....)

EDIT: FWIW - making something curve, while keeping perspective is one of the hardest things I think there is - text is not subjective, everyone knows what it "should" look like. If you can nail down this skill - it's a big one.....

Smudge tool - it's one of the options on the "blur" button. Start small and then move up in whorls.... after blur it.

EDIT: Save before you do any of this - I can't count the number of times I've "dragged too much" and screwed up a static element. Also - do this before you merge the type layer down (I'm sure you knew that part )
