I have attached an image of a font (Helana) I'm designing a logo in. As you can see it has lots of scrolls, flowers, leaves etc running off it... I'd like to keep the letter itself one colour, but make all scrolls, flowers, leaves etc are all different colours / shades...
I've tried to use live paint but it just changes the colour of the whole thing. Should I try Photoshop?
I'm using Corel Draw X5 and I can't figure out how to add or edit colours in the CMYK (default) Custom Colour Palette. In X3 and earlier versions it was quite easy to add new colours and edit existing ones. I would also like to know how to move the order of the colours in the palette so that I can put one a custom colour near the top.
FYI I would like make these changes to the master / global CMYK palette, not just the one for a specific document palette.
I need to make a text above picture readable in the east way. Making text colour a single color is not successful always; even tough I select the most contrasting colour to the general picture colour.
I am not professional in pictures, colouring etc. But, I think there should be a colour contrast concept. A simple example is that white is the most contrasting colour to the black or vice versa.
Can I use Photoshop so that it will change the colour of the pixels of the text to the most contrasting pixels colours of the background picture? I think in that case the text may be read in the easiest way.
I use gimp to make layered stencils for spray painting...I reduce it to a couple of colours, seperate the colours into different layers and then cut them out...
When I do im left with a ghost type image where the original layer was..
The way I know how to do it is by typing the first word in black lets say, then open a new text dialogue on another layer and type in the other word with a different colour.
Is there an easier way to do this since I'm afraid that my text won't be in line with each other?
When attempting to add text to a photo, the typed text is not visible on the layer in the "Layers Box" until exiting the Text Tool. Text nexer is visible on the photo Background image. If the edited image is saved, the added typed text is not saved; only the original Background image. How do I reset the Text Tool so it will be functional?
I think I may have made a big error. While adding text and applying (experimenting) various "Effects" with the text, I used the garbage can icon to remove the "Effect", thinking it is going to remove the 'Effect" from the text, until I realized I had to remove the "Effect" with the edit button, not the garbage can. Have I now permanently removed the various "Effects" permanently or just off the screen? How do I regain them back onto the menu column? How many "Effects" should be visible in order to have the complete set? This was my first experiment with the lettering effects and hope I haven't lost them forever.
My problem is that all of my dimensions and text have changed colour to white, with my by layer colour as an outline of the text, the arrows and lines still look correct however. I put the dimensions on a seperate layer and this seemed to happen after hiding this layer then later unhiding it. I have looked through the properties to change the colour unsuccessfully.
On another note, the monochrome print option does not work when creating a plot - it will still create it in colour. What can I do to sort these issues? It is fustrating as all I really need to do with this drawing is to export the it for a report and it looks messy!
i'm working on a job with 2 colours. I already did this using CMYK and setting 2 of them to 100% and the other 2 at 0%. But people who press these posters say me that they always have to convert the CMYK file to a 2 colours file. Is there a way to set my colours to 2 colours instead of 4?
Suddenly, I must have hit something, all new text added to my drawing when using Multi-line mode is Upside down. When using single line mode new text is backward. When looking at the properties the text is NOT shown as upside down or backward and my text style is set to Standard and has not changed. This problem is isolated to the current drawing. If I open a new drawing text is entered correctly.
I have yet another question. I can see the text in a text frame with a script like this,
var doc = app.activeDocument; var myTextFrames = doc.textFrames[0]; var myTF_Content = myTextFrames.contents; // this will return the string inside the text frame alert(myTF_Content);
but how do I add some text to the beginning of that text? lets say that this is my textFrame[0] = "this is a simple test string".what is the proper way to add text like the number one and a period to the beginning?
I'm trying to add English text to an Italian comic I've scanned. I scanned the pages at 600 DPI, saved them as PNGs, then reduced the size of the images to 19 percent of the original scans.
when I try to add English text to the dialogue balloons, the text remains the same size as it was in the full-size image, even though I've set the character size to 8 points in the character options box. The only way I know of to get around this is to add the text to the full-size image, which is a cumbersome, time-consuming process, or reduce the character size to something like 1.5 points, which produces roughly the text size I'm after.

I click on the 'T' to type text and color the text, say, orange; if I then try to add a black outline to it in Edit | Stroke I notice that 'Stroke' is greyed out.
How can I add that black border around the letter(s) .
adding text to an image. I have followed the instructions in both books and videos on how to add text (using the text tool) and when I get to the point of typing text in, it doesn't go 'in'. The box that I assume it should show up in just stares at me - blank.
1) I am working on a web page in Dreamweaver and I want to add some content boxes made in Photoshop. I have sliced a small area of the content box which I want to use as a link and am now trying to add it to my Dreamweaver page. However, when I save it for web and try to open it into the Dreanweaver page, it comes out as a new page; I can't seem to add just the content boxes. How can I add just the content boxes to my page?
2) What is the best way to add text to my content boxes? Is it possible to add text in Dreamweaver to a content box made in Photoshop? If so, how?
I have a photo that I'd like to add text to. The text is very simple, and I would like it in the upper left corner of the image. If someone could be so kind as to maybe work the image if they were so inclined, and then maybe explain how it was done.
I've tried simply using the text tool, but for starters, the text isn't displayed properly. For example, when I typed an "F," the displayed text was a, "?." Sounds like a font issue, I tried all the fonts, they all display a "?."
Second, I know I need to make a new layer for the text to be added to the image, but I'm not sure how to go about doing this. I'm not sure what kind of layer to open for it, and I'm not sure how to blend the layers once I do. I also want the beginning letter to be one font, and the following three to be another. For example, the beginning letter to be a cursive lowercase, large font "f," while the other letters are arial font lowercase, smaller font, "ine." With the period included in the text. This isn't what I want the text to read, but it should help you guys that choose to help come up with something.
On a side note, I'd love to take those trees out of the pic. Would you guys recommend matching the color of the sky and brushing over, or is there another way that might be better. I'd like this pic to be as clean as possible.
I select the horizontal type tool and have my font in black but everything I type is invisibe. in the text box. I have added text to pictures before doing this but never had this problem. is there some setting i goofed.
I cannot add text. I followed element 10 chapter 12 instructions but cannot get past first 4 steps. When I try to commit text as per step 5 nothing appens.
I opened Elements editor today, and found I could no longer add any text to a new image.
I start Elements, go to the editor, create a new image, then add text, and I cannot see the text at all. Things I have checked:
Various fonts Various sizes Various colors Various opacities Anti-alias on and off Various styles (including none) I've tried horizontal and vertical text I've tried setting the background to various colors Zoom level seems to make no difference Doesn't matter if I create the new image with white or transparent background
When I try the Horizontal Mask tool, I get a message "No pixels were selected"
The layer names contain the text I typed into the image.
I am trying to place pictures into my paragraph text so that the text wraps around the picture (like you can in Word).? Can anyone let me know how to do this in Photoshop 7.0 for Windows??
All I can find is how to wrap text around object (i.e. word on a coffee cup image itself) or putting the actual picture as fill for the font.?
how to do this? I have included a PDF of a sample of what I'm trying to do.
