Hi guys,

Recently decided to teach myself howto use photoshop so i can so some baic graphics stuff like making forums signatures web desighn etc. Got myself a copy and found its not as easy as pick up and go ;p
Managed to work out a few things like making backgrounds using certain brushes etc but im having a few troubles which i will list below.



Here is my background and i want to place the writing you can see over the background without getting the wite pixels around the edge which you can see, id also like to make it look smooth and not too shabby, another thing if i wanted the writing to appear full black how would i do this.

Another thing im stuck on, ive managed to work out howto spearate images from background by deleting certain colours hte back contains but there certain types of images im having troubles with.



See this image, i ould like to be able to place the black image over my background with the white on outside and inside appearing transparent, also if i wanted this to fade into the background to give a sort of clear effect how would i do this. =) a lot of questions i nkow but im desperate for help

thanks for reading and hope you can reply

See if this helps..
You can add black from the emblem (b/w image to the colored image by placing it above the image layer and setting the mode to DARKEN or MULTIPLY. (it will drop the white)
With regards to the text I think you figured it out...if you use the text tool to add the text it will appear crisp..if you cut out the text from an image and paste..it will need further cleaning to look clean.
