Good on you Harry - my crystal ball is away being serviced, otherwise I might have known that x DeaDLy was asking 'what the font' right away

BTW x Deadly, this forum is primarily a Xara software users forum (see foot of page).
Of course many Xara software users also use PhotoShop, but due to the price, speed and agility of Xara Xtreme (for example) PS isn't discussed quite so often.

And Welcome to TalkGraphics Forums

X DeaDLy, you're quite welcome.

BTW, I didn't use What the Font on this one, Steve.

Although I have in the past and will, no doubt, resort to it in the future as it is a valuable resource in identifying unknown fonts.

As sledger noted, many of use here on TG use Xara software products because of their price, speed and agility. What he missed mentioning was the fantastic results obtainable from their line of software. Just take a look at what was done using Xara's flagship product, Xtreme 4. In a few minutes, I came close to duplicating the original example you posted.

Why not download the trial version of Xara Xtreme 4 and give it a try?

Cheers,
HayTay

You there man ?

**steve.ledger** · 30 May 2009, 06:11 AM

Actually no, I'm here. It's you who are there

Don't worry Harry will get back to you when has some time I'm sure.
Unlike 'instant messaging' forums are little busier with lot's of things to read and catch up on.

x DeaDLy,

Patience my friend. Give this a go. Mini-tutorials don't grow on trees and they do take some time.

My sleep is definitely suffering and I have to get up in two hours. Obviously that won't be too difficult since I haven't had any shut-eye, as yet. Sorry for the small size of the example pics, but we're limited in the size of graphics we can post.

Here's part 1 of the mini-tut...
