How to install a Font into Photoshop
*****************************************

You don't literally install fonts straight into Photoshop. Photoshop actually loads the fonts that are on your computer. In some cases, this is pretty easy. On Windows Vista/7 (idk about Macs) you should be able to double-click the font file and click a button somewhere that says "Install" which will install the font on your computer. Check Google for more details.

Once your desired font is installed on your computer, Photoshop will automatically load it in its list of fonts. There you go!

@SweKaGe Sounds like you just have the layers stacked wrong.. Just put person 2's layer beneath person 1's layer!

@DragonTamerFire Before typing anything, go click the box at the top (which I'm assuming is black) and change the color to white. Tada! =)

Really awesome, I just have 1 question. What way, is the easiest to get started with PS for a newbie? I really wanna be able to do stuff like this, without tutorials and stuff like that :D hope you reply ;D

[ChChCheckItsClan]

@troels1996 Well starting out, tutorials are the way to go! =) There's tutorials for countless topics on Photoshop, so I would suggest looking up tutorials for beginners. Sadly, we don't have many of those right now, though I hope to release a series specifically for beginners within the next couple of months =)

I dont know what to do if you have a Mac, sry if you have

[pantherseyes]

are the vignette brushes available yet for download?? i'm looking at the site, and roman abstract brushes.

I was also wondering, what if you don't want a background? It would be cool if i could just use the text and a graphic art i have.

Thanks.

how come when i tried to Download the Bleeding Cowboys .. there's no "INSTALL" in it ? do i have to extract it or something ?

@DKANG1994 That happened to me on the glass font tutorial! Make sure its in RGB mode, all those filters aren't always in CMYK mode (you can change by going to Image>Mode> RGB color)
