It is why I had to put a glow on the back of the text etc, to make it pop.

That's smart, but I don't have the graphics tools to do that on my end. :|

Try out the GNU Image Manipulation Program (The GIMP), it does pretty much everything that Photoshop can, for a lot cheaper (its free :mrgreen: ).

Graphics isn't that hard to learn and it can be SUPER addictive (as I'm sure Dan can attest to) so pick up a copy of GIMP and give it a try. http://www.gimp.org/

This past week I was given a full legal version of Paint Shop Pro 8. I don't have the time to learn it all, so I gave it to my teenager son who can learn it in about an hour. Oh to be young again and have the nimble speed to learn things.

Free time? :shock: LOL

He can talk on one phone, IM chat with a dozen friends, use his cell phone to TXT message a bunch of people, learn Paint Shop Pro 8 and still yell into the next room asking the wife what time lunch is going to be all at the same time. My head would spin just watching. :rolleyes:
