Macman, I went to your post there and toucan was in red but I could not click on it. Wanted to see the pic. Tried 3 browsers and none worked. Am I at the wrong post? Do I have to be logged on to the forums there to view it?
I dont think you need to be registered if deus ex machina could view it.
@itloser:
here, use it as you wish, open in photoshop, command click its layer after making into a layer, shift+comman+i, command+x, then command D and drag and drop into other ps doc to use.

Thanks Deus, I think I am going to try that. Think that would look best.

Tell me if this thinking makes sense....

Freehand the drawing -> Make changes to picture in photoshop -> import drawing to picture in PS -> import to illustrator to add text -> done

whoa, I went so fast, I skipped a step, do what you normally would in ps to get it into the other doc and ignore the above, I suggest using the pen tool and make the shape around it, make that a selection, and proceed as you would normally.

if this is for printing purposes, indesign, illustrator works almost as well, but indesign is built for printing. youre not gonna use my bubble I posted?

sure...All programs being Adobe you should be able to cut and paste across the programs, saving you time. :) Good Luck

macman i am actually going to use that bubble. That is exactly the type that I am looking for. Sorry I missed that reply from you, so many posts... so fast I actually missed it. If it is at all possible could you walk me through how you created that and gave the effects to it? That is the perfect graphic type that I am looking for, just would like to know how to change it around and such for dif pictures.

Thanks to everyone that helped me with this.

you can copy& paste, though I wouldnt recommend it. it can, and often does cause problems.

if you ciick on my sig, theres a tutorial/how to I made a while back on how t make a n aqua button, all you do in photoshop before follwing the steps is make the bubble shape you want.
though I used another app to do that one.
