Pick you font style from Dafont.com
Do a “screen shot” once you have chosen your front.
Look on the upper right side of your Keyboard.
You should see a Key called "PrntScrn" which stands forPRINT SCREEN
- Give that a solid Click.
Now go to your already open page in Photoshop and choose "Edit" and "Paste".
Voila! There's the entire page you just took a Screen Shot of in miniature in the middle of the page.
Get your move tool, make sure the "Show Transform Controls" options is checked
- in the section just above the page.
HOLDING SHIFT pull the Diagonal Handles out - even outside the page boundaries . . .
Click Control Minus (-) so you can see those handles even outside in the gray areas.
Keep holding shift and pull out so just the Title type fills the page . . .
Then Click "Enter" so the page appears clearly and not Bitmapped and Jagged-Edged.
You'll notice that there is now a Layer of what you just pasted into the page. (Picture 17)
In my Case, I have a Mac and have done the Title Copy & Paste Process a little differently. The Computer names the Print Screen Pictures by Number
You'll need to "Rasterize" this Layer -
Right Click on this Layer and choose "Rasterize"
Now this Layer will be fully functional to you.
Okay, now using the Rectangle Marquee Tool,
draw a rectangle around all the type you want to keep
- note I have selected plenty of space around the type.
Now "Copy" Control C that.
Go to the Layer Pallet and Delete this Layer - DON'T WORRY
- Click Yes on the Pop-Up Question.
Now "Paste" (Control V)
and just the Title shows up on the page
Look at the Layer Pallet - you'll see there is the base layer labelled
"Background" with a little lock on the right side - Double Click that Layer.
You'll see a New Layer Pop Up Menu appear.
Just Click "OK"
Choose that Layer - Layer 0 - Note it has a White Rectangle
We are going to change that color in this step.
Click on the Foreground Color (Black) Box in the Tools Pallet
This Color Picker (Foreground Color) Pallet will Pop Up.
I'm going to use that Orangey Red in the Bottom Left Corner for my Color choice
Put that little Circle (Picker) over the color you want.
You'll notice the new color appears in the Upper Center of the Pallet
above the Original Color .That's the New Color
Click OK
Now the Foreground Color Box is the Red I just chose
Now choose the Paint Bucket from the Tool Pallet
If it isn't there - click on and HOLD the Gradient Tool - the Paint Bucket is under that.
Make sure you have Layer 0 selected and just
Click the Paint Bucket anywhere on the page.
The whole Layer turns Red.
Note that the Type we've put on the Top Layer looks like a Strip of paper with our Type on it.
Now we're going to isolate just the type.
Choose the Magic Wand in the Tools Pallet -
If it's not immediately apparent, click and HOLD the Quick Selection tool and the Magic Wand is under that.
Click the Magic Wand on the White Area around the Type you want to isolate.
You'll notice that all the white outside of the Title looks like there are "Crawling Ants"
- a very professional term.
Click Delete and all the White disappears.
You'll notice there are letters with white still inside them.
Use the same process . . .
Change tools without going into the Tools Pallet:
Hold Down Control + Space Bar = Magnifying Glass Tool
- and draw a Rectangle around the letters with White inside
Let go of the Control Space Bar and you should still have the Magic Wand
Hold Shift and select each area with White in it. Click Delete. Don't Change Tools!
Hold down the Space Bar = The Hand Tool
and just move the page to the left to get to the "s" at the far right end of the Title.
Magic Wand the bottom part, hold Shift,
and select all three parts that are white in this one letter - Click Delete.
Click Control 0 (Zero) to make the page fit the Screen.
One more part - this is a long Tut!
Now we have to get rid of that bit of text at the top, left part of the Title.
Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool and simply
draw a Rectangle around that type and Click Delete.
Here's that Rectangular Marquee with an empty space where that type used to be.
