Is there a way to use a tube but so it fills text in. I saw this in use in the one web page, that said they used the bullet tube. How would I be able to use a tube to fill in a text thing. It was done on a website, with the bullet tube. Words spelled out with the bullet tube. It is in the thread for the bullet tube. Thnx for any help. ~Sly |

If you create the text as a selection(PSP6) and apply your text you should only see the "marching ants" forming the words. Now select your tube and paint it it in the selection. Hope this helps. |

I'm not EXACTLY sure what you're asking about here, Sly, but it seems that you want to fill in an area of text with a pattern. Am I close? One way to accomplish this is to create an image filled with the pattern that you want to use as the inside of the text, and then set that image to be the fill pattern for your text. Follow these steps: 1) Create a new image and fill that image with a pattern of some sort (it can be a picture tube pattern, a photograph, a color, a gradient, whatever). 2) Create another new image. Using the text tool, create the text that you want filled. When you're in the Text Entry dialog box, make sure that the "create as" section reads "selection." It might also be a good idea to select "antialias." When you leave the Text Entry dialog box, you'll notice that your text is a transparent selection, surrounded by a marqee. 3) Click on the Flood Fill tool. In Toool Options, set the first tab to "pattern." In the second tab, go to "New Pattern Source" and choose the image you created in step 1 above. Now click with the Flood Fill tool inside each of the letters. Your pattern will fill in wherever you click. |
