sorry for the double post. I wanted to know what kind of layer you used a Raster, Vector or Group Layer.

This is the one I got. I'm going to use it in my next journal post (with credit), if that's alright.

Oh i'm sorry I use PSP 8. And I'm confused at what type of layer I'm suppose to use.

Awesome tut. Testing as I type. :P

Awesome, but either my picture is odd or steps 6 and 7 use the wrong hex code, cause it didn't look like that at all...

It came out to my satisfaction anyway, though :)

Kate[info]pureskies on December 9th, 2006 06:12 am (UTC)
the codes were right :)
That looks great! I really like it!
