My first sig

[-ParallaX]

Because it's obvious the text needs work
/

why not?

No offense, but the info you gave on the text actually fks it up a bit.
What he needs to do is read text tutorials.
Now, I don't do text myself, but it would help him.

Actually, yes and no.
yes, it may fuck it up, but that's the learning process.
no, my info wasn't that bad, because it can teach him to improvise.
I'm self taught in many things and i learned to be independent and improvise with what i learned myself.
depending on tutorials to 100%, especially in the beginning of learning a skill, and such, can show lack of natural creativity.

Everyone needs tutorials at one time or another.
Tutorials help with improvement, and learning.
In this case, both.
And if it fucks it up, then why say it?
He needs help with it, not help making it worse.
And you don't depend on tutorials to do 100% of your work.
Look at my sigs, for example.
Some if it, I learned from tutorials.
The blending, the depth, the color.
Everything there is from tutorials.
Even the GFX team uses things they got from tutorials.

I know they use tutorials
i'm going to use tutorials soon too.
I just said to play around with stuff to do what fits him
I never said he shouldn't use tutorials.
I just wanted to make sure he wasn't fully dependant of the tutorials and had enough time to mess with the settings so he can not only get comfortable with the editing techniques, but the Photoshop UI.

I see where you're coming from.
But I remember using the setting for the text, and it looked horrible.
He needs to take the time and read tutorials, and use the knowledge to make the text better
I'm not very good with the text, but I have some knowledge/idea.
The overlay tool works sometimes, but I think it will look better with a clipping mask.
And he won't know how to use a clipping mask for text, without a tutorial. [:

Okay, this is where im dumbfounded.
Learning takes time so,
I don't even know what a clipping mask is.
I just learned what render meant yesterday.

I just learned what render meant yesterday.

it took me forever to grasp what it meant too.. never really sat down and took the time to find out. kinda went with what everyone said....
