Should I take off the "metal" border and take out the chops?

 

[Mike Oxlong]

errr its original

 

[BabyBoy]

It's cool. I like it.

 

[Korupted]

Its not all that bad actually, Just the font at the bottom isn't very clear.

 

[Adam]

I think it's bloody marvelous! how the hell did you do it?

 

[Vanquished]

looks weird but nice, the text is good and nice colours, but as they said, u cant see the text on the bottom very well

 

[Guitar Pl4yer]

The text at the bottom is supposed to be blended, but it didn't work the way I wanted it to.

 

[Korupted]

Had simular problems in a way with my fonts, GP how did you actually do this metal border effect?

 

[Guitar Pl4yer]

Duplicate the banner to a bigger blank area, add stroke as much as you want on the outside, put the fill to 0. Flatten image, duplicate the bg layer, delete the bg layer, use the Magic Wand to cut out the white, emboss the layer, then put the banner back in under it. If you want the cuts in, do it before you add a border to the regular banner.

You should make the metal border thinner. Other than that, I gots no problems with it.

 

[Guitar Pl4yer]

I thought that too after it was done.

 

[REAL SEXY BOY]

[Diablo™]

The "metal" border sucks. Other than that it's okay.


As for the way you did it. You did it the hard way. You don't have to do all that make the fill 0 and crap, just make a new layer, put it under the banner, then select the banner and expand it. The you can just fill and edit, no opacity crap is needed.
