[hannah#1]

http://i38.tinypic.com/245m0br.png to: http://i33.tinypic.com/24qs5si.png

>>1 add text to your canvas,blend whatever! :P

>>2. The txt tool should still be selected. Next, click your text then go into tool options and click "Create Path from Text":

>>4. Now create a transparent layer under your text layer.

>>5. make sure you're still on the "New Layer". Then go to Select > From Path (Shortcut: Shift+V)

>>6. Then, go to Select > Grow and select the width of your outline. I chose 2px. After that, fill it with the bucket tool (Shortcut: Shift+B). Then press Ctrl+Shift+A to Select None.
Hope it helped!

[sing2theLord]

ooh i shall try that nowww.

The txt tool should still be selected. Next, click your text then go into tool options and click "Create Path from Text":

[hannah#1]

Circle Affect
http://i35.tinypic.com/715ok9.png to http://i34.tinypic.com/29mwq3t.jpg

Once you're done making the base of your blend, DUPLICATE IT
don't add text yet or the text will mess up.

then go to filters > blur > motion blur
make sure preview and radial is selected.
now lower the angle where u can kinda see the person but still blury.
I suggest around 9.

now get your eraser and erase the blur on the person.
flatten image and your done. add whatever u want now!

[Hannahfan_eva211]

:oThanks brenda!

[hannah#1]

you're welcome :D

[tanningbry]
