Lets
begin!!
Step
One: Get Inpage
Click
here to download Inpage (link taken from U-HOO!!!
urdustan.com)
-
once
you have inpage make sure you type your text in a TEXT BOX.
-
after
you have typed a poem or whatever, click on it to select it with the POINTER.
-
once
its selected go to file-export page. a new window will pop up.
-
click
on BROWSE and choose where you wanna save the image. type in the name of
the image and click save. it will take you back to the little window with
the BROWSE button on it.
-
now
look under EXPORT RANGE where it says how you want the image saved. since
we have selected the text box we want the option that says SELECTED OBJECT.
-
click
on ok and you image will be saved as a GIF file.
Step
Two: Learn tools that you'll be using in photoshop!
here
are the tools you'll be using in photoshop!

alrighty
now those who have never worked with photoshop before!
you
have learned the tools from the above image but now i wanna talk a little
about layers.
an
advantage of creating and working with layers is that you can move around
the objects in different layers. you can also move around the text you
type in a layer and a layer can easily be deleted if you don't like the
way things came out.
another
thing i like about layers is sometimes you don't wanna change the look
of the whole image. and mostly if you are working with lots of objects
in one canvas its a lot easier to work in one layer on ONE object at a
time. and again the emphasiz is that you can delete and move around the
layers.
now
then here is a screen shot of the layers palette.

Step
Three:
find
an image you wanna layer on top of your urdu text image.
**click
here to go to Lycos Multimedia Search to find images.**
now
in photoshop open the urdu text image AND your other image you wanna layer
on top of your urdu image.
click
on the image to see the bigger version
NOTE:
sometimes in photoshop you can't work with layers if you have a GIF exported
from inpage. just SELECT the image with the selecter
and go to top menu edit and copy. then from top menu FILE click new and
paste the urdu text image onto the new canvas.
**click
here- this image will help if you are confused here (image is HUGE
so it will take a while to load, sorry!)**
STEP
FOUR:
-
now
that you have both of your images open. and you have pasted the urdu text
image in a new canvas. go to the bottom right of the layers palette and
click on ADD NEW LAYER. then with the selecter
select the background image, copy it and paste it on top of your urdu image.
-
it
is now covering your urdu image and you can't see the urdu text.
-
now
make sure which image is ACTIVE. (refer to the top image to see the difference
between ACTIVE and INACTIVE image)
-
now
go to the layer options and choose the option MULTIPLY. you'll notice now
the text appears on top of your background image. but its hard to
see the text because your background image is dark.
................
-
right
next to the layer options you'll see the words OPACITY
.
click on the100% next to it and change the OPACITY from 100% to 60% or
50% depending on how dark your image is.
this
is the end product:
NOW
if for some reason your image didn't come out like mine, plz email me and
we'll try to figure out whats wrong together.
