Editing Progs.

[P UNIT 1980]

Guys and gals.

I am trying to design a new Tattoo and need to edit either some txt or a picture of some txt to get it into the right shape.

I havent got a scooby what to look for or where to get it.

My experience goes as far as making stickmen (with willys) on paint so nothing degree level as i just wont cope with it.

I have heard about photoshop but its not specifically photos i want to edit.

Any help recieved will be greatfully appreciated.

Check out GIMP and see if you like it. Its open source and completely free, so it is definitely worth a look. Personally, I like it a lot.

GIMP - for Windows

I cant use that though mate I am a dimlow bigtime!!!

Its solid and i couldnt even import an image.

I want to be able to bend txt or pics into a u shape ala word art style but have a lot more controll over how big and what type of bend etc.

MORE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.

I would of thought using GIMP was right up your street mate . . . . . .

lmao!!

Not sure what to suggest to be honest unit , i use photoshop but thats more complicated than GIMP by a long shot. Something like the old photo software that used to come with epson printers would be ideal , it had big images to what each button done and everything ( im not taking the piss mate, just saying how simple it was lol ) .

I cant remember what its called , i have a butchers at my old CD's in the loft laters and see if ive got a copy. Although they were for XP so not sure if they will work on vista or win 7 . Sure there will be patch for them though.

******s, lol.

Yeah I am at a loss to be fair. I just want it to look right before going to the docs for the mods. Its my Spurs tattoo afterall.

It is a simple peice of txt or a screen shot of some txt from a web page (so a bitmap image) that i want bent to fit around my neckline.

Its gonna hurt like a motha fooker I know but it will be well worth it.

ive been searching for a few mins there mate,and all i could come up with is this CreateATattoo - Home, dont think its what your looking for edit just coped its 20 dollars so forget it ha ha

[P UNIT 1980]

Yeah i been about on the net a bit and cant find anything i want.

I will sort it if worse comes then i will just go with a straight line of txt and get him to draw it on nice and bendy kinda...........earn his cash.

I would rather it was printed in shape though as human error is taken out of the equation.

That would make a very unique tattoo...and an interesting talking point.

I can't get to grips with PS. Despite working in a big web design company, I'm no graphgic designer. So I get by and accomplish what I need by using Fireworks. I'd recommend this as it is basically a cut-down version of PS and they both come from Adobe.

PLY nice one mate.

Where do I get this little number from? Will it also cost me a bloody arm and a leg if I get a legit one...........Not that I would get a hooky one of course

I have got a couple sitting in my task tray now called Gimp 2 and Coral Draw.

TBH they are dificult as a mother fooker to use.

I went to the Tattooist and he sorted it all for me anyway but it would be nice to have somthing for future designs.
