Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Photoshop assistance requested

Discussion of photos, video, cameras, and post-processing.

I have not gotten Photoshop on the new laptop yet, so I need some assistance with a project.

I am looking to use this picture at its highest resolution setting:

http://globeattractions.com/nature-mountain-lake-sunset-cold-snow-rocks-seasons-clouds/

and superimposing this poem over top of it:

My hope is to be able to make a large photo print to have matted and hang on the wall. The text location and color is at the discretion of you, whatever you feel looks good as your placing it.

Thanks in advance for anyone's assistance!

I've liked that poem since I heard it. Did you ever get the assistance you needed?

And the PSD if you want to edit it: http://hosting.mikekey.com/overlay.psd

They're big files, so best to right click, save as.

Just skip the BS and consider this stolen...


But anyway, that's kinda what I've been trying to live by for the past couple years. But more epic.

They say you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the things that you did. So I've been trying to NOT pass up opportunities and try things and make extra effort to do things I really wanna do.

:Iagree:

When I first saw this I thought it was a cool idea. Surprise surprise with the assistance of Mike (job well done by the way Mike) it looks better than I thought it was going to. I showed this to my fiance and both of us agreed this will be hanging somewhere in the house we are trying to buy one day.

Yes, I did end up getting this done. It it printed at 20"x30" and hanging in the living room already. I had it printed with the text on the left rather then centered, our looks a bit bettered in my opinion.

I also have our ten family rules printed and hanging next to it.

When I get back in front pod the computer I can post better pictures of both.
