Yeah already got an image with text on it which Ive rotated and Im using trial and error to get it all the same but Im a bit of a perfectionist and wanna get it spot on Laughing out loud theres about 4 text boxes, I guess I could write them all again straight and rotate them all together.. if not Ill try in Illustrator, I didnt learn Illustrator at Uni, so always try and avoid it when poss, I love Photoshop, but Ive been getting stuck into illustrator a bit now and its so much easier for somethings!

Cheers

If you have a picture, and want to use that picture as a fill for text, how do you do that?

So if I have a picture, type "fuk" over it, now want to use the word "fuk" but the lettering is composed of the background picture.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

When im saving a something in photoshop it asks me what quality, i want to save everything at 6, but it reverts to save at 12 by default for the next item. Is there away i can set it to be 6 as a default save me changing it each time.

I've had a look and can't find a way of changing the default setting.

However with mine, if I save a couple of things at 10 for example it learns that and continues to offer 10 by default for the following items until I change it again.

that must be the way to go then, as i managed to get it to set at a lower default last time

thanks Smiling

fingers crossed it works

You need to set it to save at 6 then shut down after saving then when you re-open it should be set at 6 (NB This may be completely wrong!)

Doesn't it depend on what CS suite you have because I can't seem to that in CS2?. Or am I being thick.

My paint brush tool has changed to a crosshair but I prefer it to be the shape of the brush/tool (circle) how do I change it back?

either un click the CAPS LOCK key or go up into your preferences and change your cursors from 'precise' to 'normal brush tip'
