YankeeKid704 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 kg- the chein ming wang text is a little hard to read.. but pretty nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I must be the worst at choosing a text. On a side note, the only way I can add a new text in PS is if I have the .tff open in the background. I can put the file in the /fonts folder under C:WIndows, but it doesn't show up in PS. Anybody know how to make them show up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers94 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Trust me over time, you get better at choosing fonts. and I can't help you with your problem, sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bama Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Try a restart? Also...if you're moving the ttfs from a zip file, you'll have to extract it to your desktop or something first, then move them to the font folder. In my experiences, they don't install if you extract straight to the Fonts folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hmm, thanks Bama, I bet that's the problem. EDIT: Nope, that wasn't it. I'll keep looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fundusglobus Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I made this for someone on another site (limit 300x100) and I was wondering what your guys thoughts were. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 does ANYONE know how to resize a pasted image in gimp. i've tried my hardest, but i just don't know how to do it, so there's the corner tools and i can resize it like that. or even just resizing that pasted image in a size adjusting "dialog" or whatever. because i've been having to resize pics in a cheap photo-editing program, and it doesn't carry over transarency. anyone know? THANK YOU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abc006 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 errr... is it ok if it's dodger-themed? only the caption for it reads something pretaining to the redsox like "once a red sock always a red sock" or something like that. because i've already started it...

YankeeKid704 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 kgbaseball when you download your fonts open up the file my computer ..c..windows..fonts and then the font you download double click it and then on top hit done it should show up then ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU. I've discussed this in my tutorial, I think...but if not.. When you paste a new image, it's pasted as a floating layer, which, as I see it (though I'm no GIMP geek) is pretty worthless. So when you paste it, either click Layer>Anchor Layer to make it part of the bottom layer (usually not a good idea, especially if you want to scale it) or click Layer>New Layer to make it it's own layer. Then, get the scale tool out (Ctrl+T i think is the key bind) and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy57 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hmm, thanks Bama, I bet that's the problem. EDIT: Nope, that wasn't it. I'll keep looking. It sounds to me like you're simply copying & pasting the .ttf file into your fonts folder, when you need to install it. Go to Control Panel>Fonts (or however else you get there), and go to File>Install New and find the file to install the font and be able to use the font on in anything (PS, Word, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 bama (or anyone) do you know the answer to this? how do you make an image kind of semi-transparent? i don't see anything like that on gimp... thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, there is...and a few ways to do it either. You can either change the layer mode (see my GIMP tutorial for examples)...or lower the opacity slider (also in my GIMP tutorial, i'm pretty sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 when you drag a font file into the folder it should install it automatically. or your computer might not be able to handle that type of font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy57 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 In the Fonts folder? What does it say under File, then? You're going to the folder called Fonts with all the fonts in the Control Panel (or C://WINDOWS)? Click on File, and it should have every other option greyed out except "Install New Font" and "Close." Otherwise, I think you're in the wrong folder.
