Congatulations Daniel. I had a feeling that would be the winner:D
Nice job everyone...
Geno, you sure are getting a lot of mileage out of that shot. Are you paying her (him/it?) any royalties?:p

Congratulations Daniel2000

Way to go, Daniel!

Royalties? Look at all the free publicity I'm giving "it". :-)

Hey, how do you guys make the bubbles (like lavanut and icon) for the text?

[icon134]

Hey, how do you guys make the bubbles (like lavanut and icon) for the text? I fiddled around for a bit but ended up using the rounded rectangles in Photoshop. I basically created a rounded rectangle that was black then created a white one that was just a bit smaller then the black one...

Then used the Text tool... to type the speaking...

I'm sure I could have made different more elaborate shapes if I wanted to but what I did worked ok... :o

Hey, how do you guys make the bubbles (like lavanut and icon) for the text?

I used a Custom Shape tool in Photoshop. I had to hunt a little to find it, but all you do is add it to the default shapes. There are quite a few to choose from.

And congrats Daniel! Cute baby!!

Thanks guys. I'll have to give it a try.

[John_B]
