Hey, I'm new 'round here, and was considering trying to do a couple skins, but I have some questions. Let me preface this by saying I do't have Adobe Photoshop. How do you guys get the transparent layer over the background pic--the one that you position the text over.
 Also, how and where do you put buttons in the HTML/ skin. I know this sounds really confusing--but that's cause I'm not clear on what I'm asking either.  So thanx, ahead of time,  ,Meg |

Do you have PSP? Anything?
Because it'd be kinda hard to do without a prog. And.... What exactly do you mean by buttons? Show an example please? (My name's Burritto.... Or SR.) (Hiya Megan!) |

hey thanks anyhow.
 I do have a version of PSP, the prob is I don't really know how to use it. I opened it up once, and it looked like Windows Imaging to me, so I just have the CD around here somewhere.  I also have a editing program that I really like called Arcsoft Photo Impression. It came with our dig camera--I don't know if anyone is familiar with that or not. I like it for normal editing and adding text to pix. And of course, I have Windows paint and imaging.  I've been able to do a little with transparent layers in paint, but when I tried to paste in a solid color for some reason the transparent option wouldn't work. My bro an I have been thinking about getting Photoshop--but can you get it anywhere for less than 500 bucks?? Buttons--like in the Ocean relax skin on page one--buttons that you use for links. Also for editing HTML, do you use Microsoft Frontpage? What little I've done I was flipping back and forth from my "look and feel" page of Xanga and my private site. But I was just fiddling with alignment. |

you could like download ps and for that buttons thing, you put the script for it depending on where you want the buttons to show if lets say you want the bottons under your banner, then you would put the code for buttons directly underneath the code for your banner
