Very Nice! I just got photoshop two weeks ago and have been trying to duplicate the TX cammo and lettering. It's not as easy as it looks. Is there any way to save the cammo scheme as a pattern? Both light and dark elements? That would make it soooo much easier. I also have no idea how you got the lettering with the white outline. What font/effects are you using? I just cut my name out of a 109 and saved it for my skins....Photoshop is extremely addictive. I've been painting more than flying lately. I'm currently trying to get a TX Hurri skin painted.S!TX-SeekerBlack 4

Seeker,              I guess I should have announced it....the hurricane skins have been done for a few days now!  Hit the FTP to get yours!              The name on the wing is a font called impact.  The outline is done by double clicking on the text layer after it is done and clicking on an effect called "stroke"....Regards,TX-Rahman"BLUE 2"

Nice work Rah. By the way, does anyone have a military font like the one in the TX-Squadron logo?TX-ChukarBlue 1

Chukar,               I have it at home....we'll hook up tonight and I can get it to you...Regards,TX-Rahman"BLUE 2"

Thanks for the tips RAH. I don't have the 'stroke' effect in photoshop elements. The closest I can come is with a med. outline like so:*Pic Removed*With a little blurring or grain I think it'll be passable. Thanks for the Hurri. I might have to start flying it now...haven't really given it a chance yet. I tend to stay away from the batplanes, but I know they've taken me down more than once!S~TX-SeekerBlack 4

I used to type the words, then right click the layer and select "effects".  If I recall the effect used was "outer glow".  I will confirm this asap from the house.  There were some specific settings that yielded good results.TX-Deck out.

This is with outer glow...I think it's better. Though I had to bleed out the yellow default color, it works.Thanks!TX-SeekerBlack 4edit: guess I should have renamed the file...oh well.
