There are so many sites, you must be spam

Thank you but what I am trying to do is something very specific ..... something like the monogram in the link (I dont wanna sew it, I wanna create the logo in photoshop).

I need an oval, and inside I need to put 3 letters that fit the oval perfectly ...... I dont know how to explain it the pic shows it better

Thanks

you mean something like this?

or like this



or this...




If your wanting total round, thats no problem either



PS, dont worry about silly question, everyone had to start somewhere.. its respectable you want to learn... this is certainly the place that can help that happen......[/img]

Thank you !!! I means like the second example you posted .... how can I do that? Is it hard to do?

Thanks for your reply!

well the way varies due to several factors.. font size, shape, actual shape of the oval.. height, width etc.. hence the lack of tutorials..

are you wanting it basically like the second one, font shape and all?

I mean i could always do one for ya reasonably, or make a tutorial , but the tut would be a while in the making. I just finished a nice 10 hour tut up last night...

I made the text, then rounded it as much as possible with advanced text panel, then drew the oval, warped the text to fit it, filled in the bits that would not fit perfectly by hand.
then I cut around the outside for any protruding text.. Use layers.. I used 5 layers

its not exactly the hardest thing.. but if your totally new to PS, it can be a pain.

Tell your sister congrats, and when is the wedding?

you've chosen the wrong software for what ya want... try Illustrator.

What's the logo for? If you need it scalable then arcaico's definitely right. Illustrator (or a like program).

Some links from an old thread of mine.

Thanks SCWIDVICIOUS !

I am not totally new to Photoshop, I already know how to do some things ... I can follow instructions pretty well , if you tell me how you did that second one exactly as it is I am pretty sure I can modify it ... I actually need the oval long more than wide like this ()

Thanks!!!!

The wedding is in June ! Thanks!

ok... kewl.... keep on hainging aorund here, for one you'll learn, 2 youll gain some new friends.. and 3..
i cant think of nothing right now.. but its there somewhere..

lol


anyhow, we'll see what happens..

like this?



bogo

ok, how the hell did you do that?

magic

Now that i've consumed my 15 min. break, i have to go back to paid work

I dont think you understood what I need ....
I simply need something like this: www . kaboodle. com / hi/ img/ 2/0/ 0/ 11f/ d/ AAAAAqaIKL4AAAAAAR_edw .jpg
(remove the spaces to see the image)
with the letters MSM
I don't really care about the texture, it can be basic, I can change that ... I just need this concept but I dont know how to achieve it.
