OK. But it really shouldn't be that BIG!

Ok. I'm having a problem copying the picture and pasting it into the userbar space.

I got Photoshop CS2 so my "pop-up boxes" look different too. Most of the stuff matches up pretty good with your tutorial, but I can't just "copy" the picture. The option is not available for me. It's there, but it's darkened out. Know what I'm talking about?
I also tried all the different tools and everything and I still can't copy the picture....so how do you do it right?


Anybody.

I had that problem too, it might be that the image isnt set to RGB. Try selecting the picture u want to copy, then click the Image Menu > Mode > and select RGB.
That should do it.

You can erase the backround or whatever. The documents must be TRANSPARENT

O.k. guys. I'm right there again. I followed the directions you gave me and I still can't do the simple "right click>copy (or duplicate or transfer or even cut)"

Wtf is up?

Everything else matches...Idk. Maybe I'll try asking more people//more tutorials or something for the basic commands and the tools that correspond.

Is anyone else having this same problem?

Select All, Copy. Tada!

Magic!!

Thanks alot. Solved a few problems for me there.

"So stupid.......gosh!"

hey arctic wat is the main user bar font called

It's Visitor TT2 -BRK-.

even after reading what you guys said im still confused how to insert an image into a userbar, could someone thouroughly explain it?

You usually just grab a GIF. or PNG. and just open it in another document, Select All (Ctrl+A), Copy (Ctrl+C) then go to your userbar and Paste (Ctrl+P) it there and move it to a location you like.

umm it pasted but i cant make it the same as the backround color how?

Could you do a tutorial on how to animate the userbars, like mine ?

Someone tell me how to copy the picture to the other picture, and be able to move it around.

I usualy used the clone tool, but aparently there is an esier way.

Infact Even when i try and clone my image into the picture, there is just a siloete of the picture but with shades of the colour im using in my gradient, how do i fix that ?

Arctic, What version of photoshop are you using? This tutorial does not work with the version I have.

Just go to good-tutorials.com.

is this good?

I have made some mega userbars using this tutorial thank you.

Multiple people have accepted the userbars i made upon their requests.

Great thread. I've stickied it. Thanks for the PM skinsley.

OMG! This is cool. I hope people get this tutorial. Questions and userbars may be shared here.

Then in that case, since i have had much a success and people have even IM'd me with requests for userbars upon my learning.

I shal share with you what ive made with all thanks to Arctic.










I am very happy with myself.

Some do have the proper look and others have larger font and they look like they were well done. Keep at it.

The font shouldn't be smooth. And the Sub-Zero one is missing the pattern. Still good nontheless.
