    2 Photoshop Tutorial Twilight Text EffectHere we go again creating a cool effect in Photoshop. This tutorial was originally written for the July-August Tutvid.com Newsletter and finally I am getting it uploaded! We cover creating text and converting that to paths and editing those paths to create a custom typeface. We also cover a textured effect as well some other great techniques and useful tips in Photoshop.

      go to “Edit” then go to “Fill” then menu box will pop out from the drop down menu choose “color” and then you will be able to change the background color. OR you can just press “shift+F5″ and menu box will pop up too.
      I hope this will help you…

      yeap im right after all i got a few pm and comments about my point out!

      so in orfer to free transform the texture you must hide the path 1st which is ctrl +h

      just a tip you guys watching this tut!

      nathaniel is a kick arse tutor though,just maybe he forgot to mention that its essential,the poor guys done so many tuts he going balistic ;-P!

      I always hate in when the result showed in the beginning is so much better as the end result of the tutorial. Sometimes it is very drastic.

      Luckily this video didn’t have that problem really that much but i would still always like if people made a tutorial on how to do something and they would film the beginning of the video using the same picture so you would really know that that is something you are going to make.

      actualy the path is to worry about simply because later on as you upload a texture it doesnt allow it to free transorm(texture)

      u done the ctrl a
      cntrl v
      cntrl w
      cntrl v to paste

      but if u havent hidden the path lines before uploading the texture,u cant free transform it!

      i could be wrong but maybe im right!

      when he deletes an anchor point the line disappears. when I delete an anchor point the line just stays but changes shape. I am unable to clear the anchor point and have an open end path to work with. Any help would be good.
