[wndrmnHD]

I can't find the direct selection tool. Help?

[thestrobaster]

hey, i loved this tutorial ! :) but..i couldn't install that " ultimate paint set " :(( i can download it, but can't install...can you tell how i do that ?

[AKareem100]

@thestrobaster

At first i had the same problem but then i figured it out :)

The file tht is .abr just copy it or cut it after u do tht just go to adobe photoshop cs5 the folder mine waz in programfiles anywayz after u finish doin tht go to presets and then brushes and just paste it there.

then u have to close the adobe if it waz opened before u installed the brush and open it again and have fun with ur ultimate brush :)

[thestrobaster]

@AKareem100 thank u :)

[RiiPSharD]

@c00ltouch Thanks! It worked perfectly.

[SP0X3R]

to the next tutorial cant you make a graffiti text. that would be awesome =D

[RiiPSharD]

Every time I try converting the text to a shape, it says it can't because it's a faux bold style. I tried other fonts, but it still does not help. Any tips?

[ChChCheckItsClan]

@RiiPSharD If it's not working for whatever reason then convert it into a work path and work with that instead, Then you'll have to fill in that path with white on a new layer and go from there.

[JG20Productions]

@ChChCheckItsClan Even when I try converting to work path, it still says faux bold style :(

[c00ltouch]

@RiiPSharD What i would like for you to do is, go to windows, Character, and then uncheck the bold T. THen it should work :)

[EternityTES]

help when i type any font example : Check It , it shows only _________

[ChChCheckItsClan]

@EternityTES That's probably because you didn't change your font color to white before typing... Haha =P

[yoshivb]

soz it is thelink here.tk remove the spacebar

[yoshivb]

if u guys want that grunge thing at the end i got a link (found on google) thelink.tk

[PriomTheKchgr]

[sneeuwboy]

Brandon, do you ever realise how awesome you are? ;D

I probably don't have to say it, because you allready know, but I'm still gonna do it, Pretty god damn awesome tut! [:

[Acentification]

When i load in the ultimate paint set, it says "Could not load the brushes. An unexpected end-of-file is encountered". What should I Do ??

[FlashingTutorial]

When i download the font is says that the file is damaged.. and i cant us them?! What should i do?

[ChChCheckItsClan]

@FlashingTutorial You can try to find it somewhere else or just try out a different font =)

[FlashingTutorial]

@ChChCheckItsClan Ok, i did and it worked perfect! And btw awesome tutorial!

[SP0X3R]

where can i make so i can zoom with the mouse wheel ?

[ChChCheckItsClan]

@SP0X3R Just go to your general preferences and you'll see that option there!

[gameking008]

[gospadje911]

[93photoshop93]

Wow a new tutorial <3 tomorrow i will do it =) thansk a lot !

[EternityTES]

Good Work , keep it up ! : )

[ThomasFrazierStudios]

Awesome Tutorial.

[c00ltouch]

When i try to convert to shape, a box comes up and says ''Could not complete your request because the type uses a faux bold style, what do i do?

[ChChCheckItsClan]

@c00ltouch Try installing a different version of the font. There's a lot of different styles to it. If that doesn't work then just convert it into a path and go from there =)
