Brady,

You've disapponted me. I was sure you would have requested a banner with a Val taking off from a CV's deck, armed with a 250kg bomb + 2 x 60kg bombs.

You are absolutely right Subchaser, all you need is Photoshop and internet access. And...oh yeah skills and the wherewithal!!! Rocking banners Sub, absolutely stunning stuff!

BTW....this is not a request for a banner but if you happen to run out of ideas, I would love to see one with some Ruskie hardware. :)

Some image editors such as Photoshop allow you to apply edge effects to objects such as type or other closed shapes, Bevels, contours, drop shadows, glows, patterns, etc. Just gotta experiment with them a little.

Hi!

I have Photoshop, is it a specialized effect from a plugin you are using or a regular filter?

Thanks!

This was done in PS ver 6.0. Go to your Layers menu. Click on Layer Styles. You'll see a whole list of options. Drop Shadow, Inner Glow, Outter Glow, Bevel and Emboss, Satin, etc. Assuming you have some text on that layer (and it's not the locked background layer) start playing around to see what effects you can get. The possibilites are endless...so experimenting is your best way to start learning what can be done. [:'(]

Hi!

Ok, next, I have a place to host...do I just use the Image tags in my sig? I tried it on my own site and it did not work.

Thanks!
