Re: Creating mouseover graphics

There are many ways to make two layers of text images line up.  I'm 
assuming/interpreting that you are talking about text images.

The easiest way is to zoom in close and use grids or guides to line up 
the layers.

Another way is to create the first layer, position it, then duplicate 
the layer by dragging it to the Duplicate icon on the bottom of the 
Layer Palette.  That way the images would line up.  Then use 
Image-Adjust to alter the color of the second layer.  This may not work 
too well with images with many colors.

Did you know when you cut/copy and paste an image, Photoshop 4 pastes it 
dead center on the canvas?  This might be another useful feature you can 
use.

I'm sure there are other methods.  May be other List members can help.

Good luck.

Subject: Creating mouseover graphics

Hi there,

Using photoshop 4, what's the best method for making the pair
of graphics that will change onMouseOver()? Say the text colour
just has to change. 

Whenever I make them, the words are never in exactly the same 
position so there is a noticable movement when the mouse is moved over.

What's a foolproof method for doing this?

	Zach.
