This is great having all this input.... like having private tuition!! Looks like I still have a lot to learn!

Hopefully I will get some better shots of the car this week, especially now the weather is sunny!!

Photoshop is a lot of fun to play with
Such an incredible and powerful application.

Okay stuck again! How do you highlight Text so that you can change it to a different font size one you have save the doc and reopen it? I have narrowed down the layer with the text on it...... but that is about as far as I can get!!

HELP A NOOB!!

Thanks


This is how far I have got so far!

Select the text tool, line it up with your text and just drag and select it.

Looks great so far!! Even got the stand ready

I want to know how the heck you were able to print on such a large sheet? Most printer settings I have seen only go as big as legal paper. That looks like one continuous page, or am I wrong? Did you print that out yourself or have a printer do it?

I have a friend who owns a large printer, so he could do it for me! Just lucky I guess. He printed it on one large piece of photo paper.

Alkemist: I still couldn't adjust the text using your method.... It kept bringing up a new layer, or I couldn't use TextEdit for some reason. I did manage to CTL T and pull the box, which enlarged everything for me..... but if I'm going to make anymore adjustments I think I will start from scratch and see what I will come up with.

I fell asleep super early last night :s

You need to make sure you're in that text layer. It can be difficult to re-select the text, you have to line it perfect. The cursor needs to match the base of the first letter you want to select. I'm probably making it sound much more difficult in text than it really is.

There is most likely another way.. But I'm just like you, self taught in my spare time.
