This is the second template we'll be making available to you. This template is wider than the previously released templates and is intended for use on our wider fixed width theme.

With this template you have more space to play with so we would really like to see some montage, or faded images for this one [Y]

Also wide angled shots would work extremely well with this template.

As per the last posted template - We have left an area on the right of the transparent bar for users to sign the image. The giudelines for this are Verdana font size 10, with smoothing applied - or if using Fireworks, Verdana Size 12. The text must be on the following co-ordinates x819 - y160. Essentially the text must be the same 'size' and 'format' as the slogan text (below the uk-mkivs logo).

As per usual the template is in png format.

The template can be downloaded here : 950 x 200 px Template

Can someone help a dunce out with Photoshop.  How do I edit the image so I can replace Username / Description with my own text?

 

[Tabs]

Don't forget to output your designs in .jpg format. We can't accept .png files for the final images.

 

[Cat1.4]

You don't. See my post here http://www.uk-mkivs.net/forums/240605/ShowPost.aspx#240605

 

[Milkfloat]

So do us Photochoppers submit a .jpg without the name change then email the .png for someone else to edit if we are one of the chosen few?

 

[Tabs]

No I'll update the file above so it does't contain the username/description section.

You then just add it in PS.

Font is Verdana, size 12. Its on the same line as the slogan text but to the right of the transparent bar. I'll post a picture so you can see.

 

[Tabs]

Co-ordinates for the text are x819 - y160

 

[Milkfloat]

I have no idea how to see what pixel my cursor is at in Photshop, so I guessed. Is this the sort of thing you wanted?

 

[Tabs]

Thats the idea Simon, but the text has to match the slogan on the left. According to Cat (posted in the other topic) the font size should be 10 and smooth.

Nice image btw [Y] Exactly the kind of thing we want.

 

[Tabs]

Actually thinking on. Best change the oblique '/' to a dash. Makes it look like your username is either Milk float or MKV headlight []

 

[dubzter]

how do you get the co-ordinates, and is it supposed to be centered on those co-ordinates?

And once that is done do we e-mail them to you or what?

I think I have missed all the talk about these previously.

 

[Tabs]

Use either Photoshop or Fireworks. The co-ordinates are on the properties sheet.

C'mon we need your help on this one [Y]

I have a the different sizes with the same pic but can't work out the co-ordinates stuff in photoshop 7.

What do we do with them once we have them? e-mail them to you?

 

[W36 EJO]

I'll have some probably tommorow, tad busy at the mo!

 

[Milkfloat]

Ok, Here is an attempt that I hope is right.
