Ya know, I find it insane how one person has turned this thread from a challenge about postcards to how certain shots are ruining DPC. One person comes up and makes one comment about nudity and then all hell breaks loose. So lets try and get this back on track, and lets talk about postcards, not how boobs and water drops offend us.

Wow! water drops on boobs ! that will surely get a 10+ from all ;):)... now question is, what will be the postcard for? Does it matter .... ;)

You know, I've been looking at some of the previous Postcard challenge entries and the photos are great! ...but in a lot of them the text looks pretty awful. Didn't anyone have to take text fundamentals class?

I was wondering how they got the text to be transparent. I cant figure it out. :=?

What I would do is in PhotoShop, I would create the text on a new layer and then change opacity of the layer to what looks right. You can use this whether you are using the Type Tools or whether you are hand writing the text yourself.

I am not very skilled in PhotoShop, so there may be other/better ways to do this.

Tenth place in Post Card II would be a good example for the word TEXAS in the background.

I dont use Photoshop. I use Paint Shop Pro XI so I will see if it works in there. Thanks.
