This tut we are going to work by ...copy and merge as it is a big tag and has
lots of layers so I find this the best way to work it...also keep in mind my
name has 7 letters so this tut is really big
Let's get started
.........................
Open your font in PSP and shrink it to taskbar
Open a new image 600x200...this is big but we need it big to work on...
we will reduce it later
With your text tool... font set at Angie Pierced...size 100 (this you
will put in manually) stroke set at null...fill set at black...
floating and antalias checked....type your name in small letters and place
it in the center of
your image.....click on eye candy...glass effect.. and use these settings....
Now lets crop it...with your crop tool ...draw around your
name..(leave a little room around the edges if
you want a frame) and then click on image....crop.....makes it a little smaller for us...
add a new layer...click on selections...modify...contract by
8....selections...invert....flood fill with black and add the same eye candy glass...selections...select none...
...click on edit...copy merged and then open animation shop...right click and paste as new animation...this gives us our white
background too
