Well, black is generaly the wrong way to go, seeing as people on a black skin can't see it. If you really want to go with the black text, copy the text layers, change the duplicates text color to white, then put hte white layers below the black text layer, and gaussian blur the white at a low setting. This creates a glow around the text, so people on a dark skin can read it, and people on a light skin can't even see it.
cheers man, this is my first attempt at photoshopping. i'll try and edit it as you've said. thanks alot
I've always admired your work for your creative forging style. I'm excited to see what you bring to Reach. Excellent portfolio!
Thanks man that means alot. I've always been a big fan of the work you do too, especially the work you've done with conquest in matchmaking. Im sooo excited about reach im practically giddy! Ive decided to get this photoshop stuff nailed down for when im posting maps again in a few months.
The text color doesn't really matter anyway, you can view the original size and it goes to a white background... Anyway, I love these maps. Great job here. Looking forward to Reach!
