Yeah, could someone put "Riddick's Seal of Approval" In big, diagonal letters on this picture? I use Riddick in my name on this forum and a few others, want a seal to put on stuff I like, just for fun.

Oh, and also, can you make another one, using the same picture, that says "Yugioh's Seal of Approval"?

Thanks in advance, here is the picture.

You can do it yourself very easily with most image editing programs. GIMP is one such program, and it is completely free. Head on over to http://www.gimp.org and download it for whatever operating system you use. Once you have it all you have to do is open the image file in the program and then use the text tool to add in whatever text you like. Then just save the file and you're done. :D

Um, thanks, but I tried GIMP and could not figure out how to make the letters bigger and diagonal, could anyone possibly do it?

Look on your tool panel for the text tool and you can change the font, size, and color of the text there. I could do it for you, but you are better off learning how to do it yourself and it isn't really very hard either. If you still have problems look in the help section of the program.

Like this?
I PM'd you also.
Let me know about any changes and I'll get the other one done also.
Do copy this one because I may be taking it out of my library soon.
:D

Okay, I just saw an error I made at the bottom of the pic. I'll go back and crop this to fix it.
Okay, here's the corrected version and the Yugioh's version

I can change the font, font size, opacity, color, etc., just let me know what you want, okay?
Right now, this is Comic font, size 12, opacity set at 49%
Opacity is how 'clear' the object is... how much you can see through it.
I can make it solid or slightly darker or lighter... more transparent.

Google is useless for displaying images.

They seem to half-block off-site references. I'm not quite sure what they do, but they show as broken, then if you view them, the next time you refresh the page, they are there - once - then gone again.

Sometimes when you see a broken image you can right click on it and select "view image" and it will reveal it.

Yeah, I'm about ready to give up on them. This has happened too many times. They also do not play well with Opera... or Opera does not play well with them... whichever the case, I'm looking to Photobucket or someone else.

I'm disgusted with Google and their Picasa Photo album.
I'm going to find another one to move all my pics to.

Thanks again... and again.... :heart: :drunken: :salut: :sunny: :thumright:
