Re: Need some help with creating a GIF
Here are the settings I used, Not familiar with PSP so I can't tell you how to do it.
Someone here can though. It should be pretty easy.
Emboss
Stroke
Edit: Some settings may need to be adjusted according to the size of the font. I think my original was 150pt. A 9 pix stroke would probably look weird on a 12 or 14 pt font.
Once someone shows you how you can just play with the settings until it looks the way you want it too. |

I have been trying to use the Curlz font to make the names for the shirt. I am using Paint shop pro. Trying to make it look similar to the way Jon  has the word SPARKS in 3d with the black outline. I am just not having any luck. Any PSP users who can figure this one out?
Thanks

I know, vector is a bear for me too. I need to get Illustrator again and start doing tutorials on it so I can get better in those.
The auto shapes are vector, Jon. So is the type until you rasterize it. |

Jon,
That looks great. I printed it out and it is very clean and smooth. Excellent work!
I want to thank everyone for helping me out with this. My wife loves all of the different designs.
Thanks Again!

Okay, I am uploading a .gif and a .tiff of the latest graphic I made from your graphic. I don't know if the .tiff will upload, it is so huge, but it won't hurt to try.
If I succeed, try printing out the .tiff - it is 300 psi and in CMYK format.
Edit: Darn, forgot to leave it at 72 psi for the .gif - if you want to see how big it got click it, then click it again for a more normal look.
The large size is how big the .tiff will look in your editor, should you decide to view it (and I recommend doing so); go to view and click on print size, and you'll see - more or less - how it will look when printed out right.
Edit #2: You can follow the above instructions to try to print out the .gif, too, since it is 300 psi, but you will have to convert it to CMYK, and I don't think that format is supported for .gif files. |

That's because it is a web graphic, not a print graphic. You have to have at least 300 pixels per sq. inch, and the color format for print (after doing your editing in RGB, you change it to CMYK for print).
CMYK won't show on the web except as a zip, because it is a printing format. It won't show true in any editor because it is always a bit more faded. You have to allow for these things. If your printer has a saturation setting, turn it up all the way for printing good graphics (but don't leave it up or you'll be buying cartridges!). Play with the settings, make sure they are on photo, experiment, and you'll get a result you can live with. (Remember to try resizing through adding the 300 pixels in the image size menu - it may or may not work; I haven't tried to do it with this image, but I have had success with it in the past with other converted graphics; remember to set your view in your editor to print as well, so you can see somewhat that which you have. Also, remember to let the paper dry after turning up the saturation - it will be wet.)

WOW
A lot of great work. I printed some out, and I guess I am going to have to go back to the drawing board. At a full sheet of paper, It looks very pixalated. |
