why dont you use GNU software ? like the GIMP, wich is a GNU very similar to photoshop or paintshop, but its free to download, open source and safe. based on the GTK visual programming and also theres a compatible with linux.

the effects you can make on gimp are really awesome.

;)
 
I use Photo Plus 6 for my messing around. Once you work out some functions its quite handy. However photoshop and paintshot pro are of course much better.
 
Jug thats what I use, GIMP, cheap as I am.

and Wurger, I finally found a way to get some great fonts! I can create them in Paint and save as a .jpg and then modify in GIMP. I'm getting there!!
 
Sure!

First I open Paint program that comes with every Bill Gates computer. Create a font and save as a .jpg. The block or CK fonts are good because they have two elements to the font.

Then open GIMP and open the font.jpg and add color or a pattern. I used a pattern on the second example to fill the font.

Then using the brush or paint bucket tool I changed the color of the outline. The third pic is the final I used for the Get Lucky thread I started.

It took alittle thinking outside the box.

You can also make one font a light grey or dark color. Paste into layer. Then make an exact same font with a different color and off-set over the first layered font to create a shadow effect.
