Title: Help Wanted
Post by: NGTM-1R on December 23, 2004, 02:03:22 am
Not much, actually, and I'd do it myself, but GIMP 2.0 is on the fritz, and I don't have another graphics program that can do this kind of work.

I need two custom Orion nameplates. Well, three actually.

Wham! (http://www.sectorgame.com/goober/nameplates.html)

:D

EDIT: Actually, if you don't have Photoshop, that won't help you much.  I'm at home now, but I can whip them up for you if you don't get them by the time I go back to school (Jan 15th or so). ;)

Quick question.

Using Photoshop (or PSP for that matter) How can I edit the text in the template you posted? I've not used either in ages and the only way I could figure out was to simply delete the text layers and start again following the tutorial.

The template still has all its layers in text format (not yet rasterized).  You should be able to just highlight the text ("select all" usually works) and type in new text.

Make sure you do this for all the text layers... some of them aren't very visible. ;)

Odd. That didn't work for me yesterday and I ended up taking about 3-4 minutes to do the plate the hard way.

ngtm1r : I was making some Nameplates for myself anyway so what the hell :)
