PS CS2 Questions

How do I make scanlines?

As I have more questions I'll post them in this thread.

 

[ƒish]

I'd suggest... Not making scanlines.

Everyone does it, it's nothing to be proud of, or use that often for that manner.

but to make them you have to make a new pattern which you set to a 3 x 3 pixel "x" that you make with the pencil tool... you define it as a brush, then go to blending options > pattern overlay and select the pattern you made.

it's not too difficult... though I advise against using it since it's overused.

Oh and... I could use some help with getting the userbar text stuff correct.

I've got visitor installed but there's 3 of them. :0 Here's the names:

Visitor -BRK-
Visitor TT1 BRK
Visitor TT2 BRK

Which one do I use...

And ultra was telling me about I need to do some outline thing... I'm confused how to do that all. Help please!

Sorry I'm asking so many simple questions but...

How can I make a border?

 

[dragonflamez]

Visitor 2's the one you want.

Border:
Make a new layer.
Select>Select All
Edit>Stroke 1 pixel black.
Done.

 

[dragonflamez]

That help?

 

[Justin]

Mmm...

Text... I did it wrong... ><.

 

[dragonflamez]

Yeah, you did.




Ok:
Text is Size 12
Make sure that the text setting is Normal, not Smooth or Strong or anything.
And to add the text border go to Layer>Layer Styles>Stroke>1 black on the text layer.

I decided to try red.

 

[dragonflamez]

The red MiGHT have worked, but the userbar was red also....

 

[Justin]

Uhm, how do you take renders from a site or hard drive into CS2.

 

[dragonflamez]

Right click the image, then save. Then open it into CS2.

 

[Justin]

But... It opens a new image, I'm asking how to put it into a current image.

 

[Justin]

And, does PS have a animation feature?

 

[dragonflamez]

No, Imageready does.

 

[Justin]

Answer my first question too please. Or the easy way, come in the IRC. It's easier to ask and answer there.
