RE: Photoshop 5.0 and text...

Great tip - Thanks
With all that I know about PS4, I can see I still have a lot to learn about
PS5.  I'll run a practice of your tip this afternoon.

Sure you can, you must render the layer first.

See my previous post today for the walk trhough. This will make your
life much more simple. The porgram is actually easier to use than PS 4
once you learn the little differences. Another thing you might be
interested to know is that if you whish to use the same text effects on
mutiple "text layers" all you have to do is:

click on the text layer, in the layers pallette that has the effects you
wish to duplicate
click on the layer menu
click on effects
click on copy effects
click on the text layer, in the layers pallette, that you wish to apply
the effects to
click on the layer menu
click on effects
click on paste effects

This whole process take only a few seconds, once you get used to it, and
saves time over creatng and using actions for effects you may never use
again.

If you have any more Qs just let me know!

Later,
