My first pop-up yay!
Any suggestions? I tried to make the words, picture to blend with the background but I don't think I did a good job with that.

Questions:
How do I make a nice border? Im trying to use the rectangle tool with overlay but it's messing up my picture/text(the tool is also blending text/picture), how do I fix that?
How much words should I limit it to?

I got this from a tut, I was wondering what font is the "CLANGRAPHICS".

first off... you are using layers, right? like, you don't flatten things first or anything? cause if you do, that's why the borders are making your render gehed up. I'll edit this in a sec with the other answers... I forgot the questions, lol. it depends. I've been trying to incorporate song lyrics in some of mine (for a werewolf one I put "not knowing you changed from just one bite" which is part of a song) but if you're going for that, you need to use small, discreet letteering (which I am still not good at. as for the tut thing, I have looked for that font too. I can't seem to find it.

Yeah, I only have done what tut's have taught me so I really have no idea how to make borders, I kinda figured out how to use the rectangle tool by myself.

So how do I flatten or whatever?

what you want to do, is you're doing the whole border overtop of everything, you know? you want to make your border only on the background, i think. and you have been, i dunna know what to say... did the rendering tut that I spent a half-hour on work goodzorx?

Yeah that the tut was good but I didn't get it, how do I zoom with photoshop?
How do I delete surrondings? I tried to make a render with that pic example, still too confusingO_o The poly lasso tool is only making straight lines, should I've tried lasso tool?
I'm using Photoshop CS2.

cs2.... lucky! you send it to me with a pm (the link) and I'll render whatever part you need. damn you and your CS2... did you come by it... through somebody, or did you buy it at a store like a good litle boy?XD and I said that the PEN TOOL is the tool you want (see picture in the tut) and you make a lot of points so it looks rounded out.

OK Thanks man, actually I bought it from a friend. He pirated it for me as a favor.... and some cash.
Sometimes I wished I had normal photoshop because all the tuts have different descriptions, etc. So it's hard for a beginner like me to follow.

you bought a pirated softwere? thats stupid.. thats like buying dirt... why dont you just pirate it yourself

Eh, I don't know how and many people say it's bad so I decide not to pirate.

Doesnt matter if you are the one who pirated it or not,
it's still illigal to have it,
so weather you pirate it or someone does for you,
it's still just as bad.
Just so you know.
