Paul Nolan's Photogenics

Step 1

First step is to find a suitable background image. Almost any image will do, though often a blurry one looks best. The one I used is Tutorials/GlassText/image/bg.jpg. Next we need to create the text image. Create a new black image the same size as your background image. Select the text tool text, and starting near the top left corner of the image, draw a large box all the way to the bottom right of the image. This box is where the text will appear. Type your text directly onto the image, then adjust it using the text tool's options panel. The bigger the text the better. To get into good habits, save this image. When working on a complex project, you should always save the source images such as this one, if you ever want to modify the image later, or composite it into a new image, it will be invaluable.
