Adobe Photoshop CS4 questions

I can't find the "bucket tool" which toolbar is it in?


When i use the ellsipe tool i cant fill it with a color how do i do that? What toolbars and ya?

Also im trying to make userbars like the attachment which i made through a website and im trying to make them on photoshop so what fonts will need and how do i add them on picture?

The bucket tool is part of the gradient tool (should be the side toolbar), just right click the gradient tool and select the bucket. You should be able to fill in the ellipse with the paint bucket or any drawing tool. Just click the object, it will ask if you want to rasterize the object say yes, and then you should be able to use any of the drawing tools. To add text to images use the text tool, the one that says "T", drag out a box and then you can add your text. The top toolbar allows you to change the text; I'm not sure what font that is, but if nothing looks similar in your text book you can download more. Just pay attention to where your layer is located so you know what is on top. Hope this helps.

Mk Thanx alot but how do dim the ellispe for a reflection

double post lol i only need teh font now

you don't relly need to use the paint bucket to fill in selections, to fill in a selection just press cmd+backspace or alt+backspace depending on wether you want to fill in with your foreground/background color

ok I now realized you weren't talking about filling in selections, but still, might be useful for you

for a reflection,
copy your ellipse layer, drag it below so that you have 2 above each other, select the bottom one, add a mask to it (little icon in the bottom of the layers palette - rectangle with a circle in it), then select the gradient tool and click on the mask, now just drag the gradient tool across the mask of the bottom ellipse

What font is this and where could i get it?

cs4 selection tool question

in previous versions of photoshop I have been able to make a selection and hit the delete key to remove a section of an image now it doesn't work. what's up ?

^ Hit backspace.

They must've changed it due to the new BT keyboard not really having a Delete key (fn+backspace would be too tedious).

Click to expand...

That font is any of a few pixel fonts that are around. The most likely is Visitor, you can get it here: Visitor Font | dafont.com
