Photoshop help needed!

[stin hambo]

I want to change something of an existing logo that I have in Photoshop.


I want to transpose an Australian flag on the last disc in the logo... Almost like it was printed on the CD.

My PS skills aren't that hot so can anyone help me out?

Thats sounds like an easy one

Can you host an image without the Ted's auto branding as it means you won't have to fiddle later...

email me if you want and I'll see what I can do.

Here is the .PSD File link for the .PSD version and I want add .com.au to the name as this is the internet address..

I have the Flag on for you, just sorting out which font it is...

Thank you and looking forward to it!

It's something like Eurostile Demi (also known as Metrostyle or Microstyle with Microsoft clickers), but with modified 'm' and 'n'

I don't actually use PS, rather PSP so it's saved as a Jpg instead of the original .psd file...

here is a version. Any good? I'm not keen on the "u" (I had t copy a d to make it) and it looks slightly off-center. It appears as if the text was an image and then stretched onto the image?

Anyway, is the flag what you envisaged?

That looks brill! Thank you!

Are the processes that different between PSP and PS?

I think I should get myself a tutorial guide!

I actually use Photoshop Elements 2 which is what came with the laptop...

Thank you again!

All I did to make the flag was
* change the white of the CD to a very light grey
* Select the CD, minus text area
* make a new layer, paste the flag into the pre-selected area (on layer 2)
* adjusted the two layers so that they blended together while empahsising the blue's a little.

The text simply was copy/pasting over sections to make it...

Paint Shop Pro is known to be the "poor mans" version of Photoshop but I prefer it as I don't like the Adobe way of menu'ing things and rarely need something as complicated as PS. Plus of course I managed to pick PSP7 for £35 from Amazon.co.uk a while back helped

So it's good for web graphics etc?

[docevi1]

I would say so, I've been using it for all my web-graphics and stuff for years and it suits me, a complete graphics novice, down to the ground.

Lots of effects/auto transistions, tools and what-have ya along with a decent set of output files. It's no Photoshop, but imo it doesn't try to be.

try it at www.jasc.com, I think it's up to version 8 where they moved to the adobe stupid "lets have lots of movable windows for the menu's with no main window" default settings.

Hello again!

Do you have the Paint Shop Pro file that you created? I will download a trial version to play with it.

I want to isolate the disk with the flag in it if possible please!

ah, sorry I did have it but it went into the recycle bin a while ago. Sorry.
