Yeah...not really sure how to explain this but, how do you add a somewhat over lay to a picture using photoshop? Lets say you put a background , what would you do to add a main pic(a person?) and how would you put text from the internet over the main pic?

im trying to but i don't know how to add a custom text from a website(dafont.com) to my graphic. anyone wanna help me out here?

ok well when u download the file from dafont u have to then unzip it to your fonts file on ur comuter....

then all u do is select the text writing tool in photoshop and write ur text... then u can use the layers pallette to put the text over anyhting u want... the further to the top it is the more it will overlay...

ok well when u download the file from dafont u have to then unzip it to your fonts file on ur comuter....how do you download it? i just saved the messege i typed to my cpu.

when u click on the font itll show u what each letter looks liek and theres a button that says download font....

i got it to save but its not un-zipping....shit!

u gotta open the file that u saved on ur comp... then u have to unzip it to....

(this might be wrong so dont do it exactly)

c, windows, fonts

sumthin like that...

i got it...all i need to figure out is how to change the background to something custom after laying down the main pic. im reading through a tutorial about it right now. thanks for the help anyway.
