Hi I don't know about Elements cause I've never used it but in Photoshop just enter some type and then highlight it. Go up to the little drop down menu for the fonts and click on it to highlight it. Then just use your up and down arrow keys and it should show how the next font will look. Hope this w...

Easy to do this.
Just install your plug-in and when it askes you where you want to put it, just pick the plug-in folder in Photoshop. The next time you open your program it will be in the filters area.
See, nothin to it!

I think that if you want to do knock outs, depending on which software you have ,white would be the last color I would use for this, I think a color that is darker and has alot more contrast would be better.(dark blue or black) After you have made your selection, select Select/ feather 1 pixil. then...

Hi, UI believe that when you open a pic in PS that its default is 72PPI. Easy to change that though. Just go to Image/Image size/and in the box type in 300PPI and click OK. PS will change your photo to 300 PPI. Must warn you though, you will need lots of Ram to run these at this size. Hope this help...

Hi, There are probably as many ways to do what you want to do as there are people that use PS. You could make a template for them or just arrange them on the page as you see fit. Working with layers allows this to be quite easy. Be sure to name your layers though or it can get confusing as you add m...

Then run the AmphiSoft simplifier filter and see what you can come up with. Also helps if you throw in an adjustment layer to ch...
