My Board

<t>Nevermind,<br/>
<br/>
I was able to get the ATROX font to come up in PhotoShop by simply typing in the name of the font in the Font box at the top of the screen.<br/>
<br/>
So for furture reference if a font is installed in your computer but does not show in the PhotoShop drop down menu, you ...

Thanks,
There are only 2 fonts past the horizontal bar and it's neither of them.
The ATROX font is only installed as a TT font.

How would I tell if the ATROX font is in the menu under a different name??

What do you mean "in a different location"??

<t>I'm operating Windows XP 2000 and using PhotoShop 6.<br/>
Nearly all my installed fonts are usable in Photoshop but some do not appear when the program is active.<br/>
I'm able to use the ATROX font in Word but it does not appear in my Photoshop 6 menu.<br/>
ATROX is a True Type font as are most ...

The Fonts were all installed months ago.
They are all ttf.
Why would Photoshop recognize all the others and not these few?

<t>I've installed some great loking fonts in my PC.<br/>
For some reason a couple of them cannot be chosen from in PhotoShop.<br/>
Artista and Any Color 12 are in my Control Panel and work in Word but they are not on the Photoshop drop down menu.<br/>
What gives, I would sure like to use them in ...

<t>Thanks,<br/>
Marko 300dpi just won't cut it.<br/>
Decal images must be of a far better quality.<br/>
I'm not worried about file space. When I fill up this Computer it will be time for a 5G memory with a terrabyte Hard Drive.<br/>

Let me have a look at the CMYK setting.<br/>
Seems like when ...

<t>Yes, it's the new guy coming back with more questions.<br/>
<br/>
Everything I can do on the Computer is self taught.<br/>
That's why I'm 1% capable and 99% incapable.<br/>
I wasn't going to buy a Computer until they were so advanced that all I would have to do is walk into the room and say,"Hey ...

Thanks again Tami,
Looks like PS6 doesn't have a Custom preset for that feature in Photoshop.

<t>Thanks Tami,<br/>
Let me check that out.<br/>
I've got a copy of CS8 but I'm a little wary of uninstalling PS6 while I'm in the middle of several projects.<br/>
Anything higher than PS6 has a much larger selection of free downloadable styles and other goodies.<br/>

<t>When I sit down to create Decals in PhotoShop I make several and usually many.<br/>
Each time I go up to File to create a New canvas the window comes up in Pixels measurements.<br/>
I only work in Inches so I have to constantly first change the settings to Inches from Pixels.<br/>
Is there a way ...

<t>Nicely written and easy to follow!!!!!<br/>
And, if you wish to soften the edge after you cut her out you can use the Bevel Emboss or Drop Shadow feature.<br/>

<t>Different images, same principle.<br/>
<br/>
Here's a target shaped image created by using the same large background circle dragged into a new blank file, over and over.<br/>
Each layer is resized (only by eye) and colored with fill.<br/>
Using the Layer>Align>Horizontal Center and Vertical ...

Looks like this is working.
I'll post a picture when I get things where I want them.

<t>Thanks Nero,<br/>
BUT,<br/>
Read my post and reply again,<br/>
The whole point of creating a new layer is so you won't affect the underlying layer.<br/>
<br/>
Choosing an area in layer one by using the Select>Modify>Expand feature renders it unaffected by anything you do in another layer.<br ...

<t>Well I've come upon a solution for creating my Panel Window trim in two distinct colors.<br/>
While both colors lie within the same layer it will be unnoticeable to the eye and either color can be changed independently and cleanly.<br/>
<br/>
This Panel Window trim is different than the one above ...

<t>Okay, are you ready for this?<br/>

<t>Thanks Tami,<br/>
If I create a new layer there is nothing in it to choose, it's blank.<br/>
<br/>
If I Duplicate Layer then I still have to resize it manually and eyeball my final image.<br/>

I need to be able to Select>Modify>Contract and have my selection lie in a separate layer.<br ...

<t>I'll have to learn my way around the board so bear with me if putting this question in the Tutorial section is wrong.<br/>
By all means move it if necessary.<br/>

<br/>
Tami,<br/>
Is there a specific section here where I should post my new stuff, Decal Graphics and such?<br/>
<br/>
I didn't know if the Introduction section would be right for further posting of my Customs and their Graphic Artwork.<br/>

I thought I might post ...

Let me show you how I package my cars.<br/>
Besides the Custom representing the event with it's own text and images, I package the cars in these Clamshell ProtectoPaks.<br/>
Besides making a great presentation while at the same time protecting the Customs, they allow ...

Tami and Jim, don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy to sell my Customs.<br/>
I just didn't want you to think I posted here out of the blue just to abuse or take advantage of your forum.<br/>

<t>Yes Twister,<br/>
HotWheels makes a lot of goofy castings but I choose to do real cars, expecially cars from the '50s and '60s.<br/>
HW's are a buck off the shelf and for the most part you get a dollar's worth of product. I pick the better made and most realistic castings and swap their wheels ...

<t>Jim,<br/>
I didn't post to try and sell stuff.<br/>
I'm shooting for gaining any connections for help if I ever need it in PhotoShop.<br/>
But, as you can see, I do sell Customs.<br/>
My simplest stuff, which has 6 coats of paint, starts out around $21.<br/>

I created the 50 of the 18 Wheelers as a promotional Limited Edition for the Event.<br/>

<t>Hi,<br/>
Found your site while searching for tutorials in PhotoShop.<br/>
I was raised by wolves until the age of 17.<br/>
Seriously, I'm always searching for features, tutorials and downloads in PhotoShop to help in the creation and enhancement of my Decal Graphics.<br/>
