Miro Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hello, I'm very new in this, so please forgive me if I ask some dumb question. I want to be a graphics maker, but I don't know too many things. I'm owning Paint.NET, hope it's okay. I was wondering how to change the font of the text, to get something metallic. I found this example... Could someone tell me how to do that text? Also, what's the most used program for images? And which is the best? Photoshop? That would be everything for now, thanks!

Narcis_speed6 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Photoshop or Gimp (which is free), the pic you posted has stroke, bevel, gradient and shadow.

Miro Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Alright, I got Gimp, now you could please tell me how to make that text? Tell me just how to do the original metallic color, then the design.

Narcis_speed6 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Metallic text is the gradient, search for the function and play with it. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/461433-my-questions-about-editing-pictures/#findComment-1060169676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCPD Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Found this on the web. You can usually find a lot of tutorials if you just look for them.

d00d Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 This guy's website has all sorts of Photoshop tutorials but will be compatible with similar functions in other programs. They're aimed at car 'shopping but you can learn and apply the skills to anything. How effective is it, you ask? At one point, I didn't know how to use Photoshop. Didn't even know how to create a layer or what it was. I followed that guide and started doing random cars. A year later, I was pretty competent with Photoshop and could do some pretty neat stuff. I stopped learning at that point so I'm not great, but continue, look for more sources and you can be awesome.

Miro Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Alright, thanks to everybody who helps me. Well I did my first baby steps in making graphics... I followed this video tutorial... But I keep on getting stuck when I get at 2:08 because I don't find any Script-Fu key. What can I do? And what do you think about my artwork? Is it a good start?
