Quick PhotoShop question:

[brainshrub]

I'm trying to type some text, but when I'm done it looks like a zebra on acid (There are stripes) ...how do I make the text look normal & add it to my picture?

1. Resolution?

You may be working at too low of a resolution. Check your image size. If it's for the net you can work at a low res, but you need to work with 'actual pixels'. If you know what I'm talkin' bout.

If not, leave it to the pros, would you?

p.s. Seek out the 100% Photoshop Bible by Deke McLelland. Everything you need to know is in there.

2. Check "mode" under "Image"

It sounds like you might be in "Indexed" rather than "RGB."

3. Stripes in your type? Tell me mo.

Explain the stripes you're getting some more- I've never seen that. Unless you've set the layer to be a mask of some sort.

You might try another typeface right off the bat. See what that does.
