I'd like to do a graphic with text in it in which the text looks like sky
writing. Below is a tutorial which I can't get to work--either a step is
missing or there is a mistake in the tutorial.

If anyone has some suggestions or knows a way to create this effect, I would
be very grateful. I am running Photoshop 7 on my computer.

Many thanks.

Michael Bartos

what's wrong with that tutorial??
it is 100% correct way to it

make sure you are using the path selection when you draw the line!!!
or make a selection and turn your lines to a path first
then click stroke path in the bottom of path palette

if you have the brush set as she describes it's simple

re-open janee's page and do each step in order as described

the plug in mentioned above looks nothing like sky writing
sorry Owen, so far I remain unimpressed with anything on your site

Hi KatWoman,

Thanks for answering my query. I still don't have it quite right and would
like you to be very precise in your instructions. In 2."Write your message,
" I have the free form pen tool selected as the tool to use. When I write a
word--my name for example--with the free form pen tool , upon releasing the
mouse, there is a fill in with the foreground color. You say, in your
message, "make sure you are using the path selection when you draw the
line," does that mean the free form pen tool, too or something else. What is
"the line?" You say, also, "make a selection and turn your lines to a path
first then click stoke path in the bottom of the path palette." Make a
selection with what? Do favor and just give me precise instructions for
every setting in 2. Sorry to be such a pain but I'd like to get this right.

-Michael Bartos

When you select the Freeform Pen tool look on the toolbar next to the Pen
icon. You will see three icons. Hover the cursor over each and they will be
revealed as "shape layers" paths" and "fill pixels". Make sure the one
selected is "paths" otherwise you will get the effect you describe.
