Donation Theme Support - Editing the Headers ? static - Aug 11, 2005 - 07:12 PM Post subject: Editing the Headers ?
I have searched and searched this forum with no luck. I am completely new to Photoshop. I get how to save it to web and all that, but is there a tutorial on how to actually edit the the text in your PSD's in Photoshop?
Any help you guys can offer would rock.
Also is there a PSD for the sub3d blue theme?Ray - Aug 11, 2005 - 08:41 PM Post subject:
I have prepared a quick series of pics that I hope explain it faster and better than words alone.
I hope this is enough to get you started. Before I start to mess with headers and such I always make sure to make a copy and use it for my messing around with. This way you always have the original one safe and secure just in case you make a bad mistake. (As I have done)
Remember to save your new handy work by "saving to web" this will save the images that you need to send to the server.static - Aug 11, 2005 - 10:02 PM Post subject:

Mars says I have to do at least one thing a year so that I can stick around here. steveerwin - Aug 25, 2005 - 10:37 PM Post subject:
Ok I bought the doom theme and mars gave me the psd file i open up my adobe photoshop cs and tryed to edit the headers they wont edit they wont even erase whats on the headers even following your instructions any suggestionssilverscout - Aug 26, 2005 - 12:27 AM Post subject:
are you sure that you are using the right layer?
also Ray, you forgot a step.. Clicking on the layer. Because if the user tries to click away from the text box and do a dragging style I doubt it will work like described. steveerwin - Aug 26, 2005 - 12:46 AM Post subject:
so what layer do i want to createRay - Aug 26, 2005 - 12:50 AM Post subject:
Whenever I click an action it usually picks up on the layer and I have no problems but then I was born lucky.steveerwin - Aug 26, 2005 - 01:07 AM Post subject:
even if i create a duplicate layer since all the headers are on one psd file they all move when they all move i can type my site in but but i cant move it to original postion please helpsteveerwin - Aug 26, 2005 - 01:56 AM Post subject:

I replied to your last email but didn't get any response.steveerwin - Aug 26, 2005 - 02:29 AM Post subject:
I sent a response and yes I still want you to edit it also I just have to wait til i get paid mars then i can send you what i want i cant edit the letters like you have it so yes im still going to have you edit the headers and footerssilverscout - Aug 26, 2005 - 02:41 AM Post subject:
hehe, ray I wish i had your luck with the women.. pick an action and get lucky.. mmmmm sounds great hehe.
It depends where you click also. is what I mean. so choosing the layer first will make it so you dont have to be lucky. You make the luck happend.silverscout - Aug 26, 2005 - 02:43 AM Post subject:

Additional notes
Make Yours Edits.
Do -File-Save-For-Web
Hit Control-A on the preview screen to select all of the slices
Click Save
Choose HTML and Images
Choose ALL Slices
Browse to the theme folder and hit ok.
Then upload the changed images to themes/YourTheme/imageskalia - Dec 18, 2005 - 04:30 PM Post subject:
Where is it that you save the picture file (I assume back in the images file) and where do you put the HTML part? When I save images/HTML, I get two separate things.
Also, even when I ostensibly overwrite the already existing image with one titled the same, the old one still shows up so I get this squashed double look. What am I doing wrong?
Apologies in advance for being a dolt. mars - Dec 18, 2005 - 08:32 PM Post subject:
You are using Wow6X correct?
The images created after saving for web go into themes/wow6X/images
Then make sure you have caching turned OFF in Xanthia Admin
Store Templates in Database OFF
Check for template changes ONace2011 - Jan 04, 2006 - 02:45 PM Post subject:
I'm HORRIBLE at using photoshop, so this is probably a really stupid question, but I just bought the wow4 theme, and I can't figure out how to edit the header. When I open the PSD file, there's only one layer, and I can't edit the text. I tried doing it the way you posted, but it doesn't work.mars - Jan 04, 2006 - 08:50 PM Post subject:
What version of Photoshop are you using?ace2011 - Jan 04, 2006 - 09:29 PM Post subject:
8.0 I think. I got it from a friend, so I'm not positive what version it is.Pegrin - Sep 13, 2007 - 12:22 AM Post subject:
Ok I am having hte same problem as ace is and i am using photoshop CS version 8 i can get version 9 but having been thru graphics class were they taught us using both version I am wondering since 9 hac no changes to layering options when opening a psd file to edit if ther is something I am missing.
the error when i try open to edit is unknown data has been encountered reading layer 2 and will be discarded. i get the same error for layer 3, is it possible to edit this using macromedia fireworksmars - Sep 13, 2007 - 01:28 AM Post subject:
What theme did you purchase Pegrin?Pegrin - Sep 15, 2007 - 04:47 AM Post subject:
wowstone
sorry about the delay in respondingmars - Sep 15, 2007 - 01:30 PM Post subject:
The header for WowStone was done with Photoshop CS2, can you get that version?
If you can't then email me and I will work on another way for you to edit the header.
