				| Ok someone wants an avatar made and I've been out of the photoshopping shiz for awhile now as I have moved across country.  Basically here's the deal, I have a GIF image and I need to add some text to it.  Well for some reason I can't and the damn layer is locked, so I can't do anything to the image as far as adding text to it.  I've tried all the things that I can remember.
 I need 2 things:
 
 1) I need the following Avatar to have the following attached text added to it.
 
 2) I need to know how you did it, so I can remember for the future.
 
 Thanx guys...good to see you all again.
 
 Ok I cannot add the PSD of the text, so here is the text in exact spelling.  I recommend the IMPACT font for it and probably Black color for the text would be perfect.
 
 Text:

 The size of the text can just be like 18 or 24, whatever fits on the bottom of the image.

				| is this what you wanted?
 
 
 All I did was change the mode from "Index" to "rgb".
 Then I double-clicked the layer; gave it a name.
 Added a text layer.
 added the "tm" as a rasterized shape.
 
 That's it, it's pretty easy.Hope this is what you wanted.
 
 
 the rest is just a couple of layer effects; stroke and outer glow.

				| That's absolutely perfect mate.  I luv it...tanks so much!!!!
 The glow is all I'm iffy about, but I suppose it looks better this way, as I just had simple black in mind myself.  But I like it this way..so thanx again dude!!

				| Actually is there anyway to redo that avatar with the exact characters shown there in my first post???
 Or are they not copy/pastable, or do we need a specific font type in order to mimic there characteristics?

				| I think you would need a specific font......but it might work if  you make it a selection are you paste it.
