GRAPHICS

[StudentofLife]

I have a graphic that I need to change and I have no idea how to do it. I need to change text within a graphic. If anyone has experience in this please let me know what package to use and details.

Thanks,

Russ

Unless you have the original source file for the image you will need to remove the text and then write your own text on it. You can't simply take an image off the Internet and edit the text that shows in it.

Hope this helps

I have the graphic. I need to understand how to take the text out.

What you need to do is open the image in your preferred graphic program and colour over the text. It's similar to saying you want to paint over some writing on your wall at home, not really the type of thing we can describe how to do.

Hope this helps

Right. With you so far. What I can't come up with is how to recreate the text exactly as it is and paste it back in. The graphic is a navigation bar and only some of the tabs are changing. Check

That is not a question for this forum. Asking how to use graphics packages is nothing to do with HTML or CSS. I suggest you find a forum for whatever graphics package you use, and ask there.

By the way - the URL you gave does not work.

Graphics are part of webdesign and thus HTML.

HTML is not web design, Web design is not HTML. In reality, graphics have absolutely nothing to do with HTML other than HTML can be used to call the image into the page. There is no way using HTML that you could build an actual graphic image.

As Dan mentioned and I also mentioned above, the way to do this depends on the program you will use and you should ask this in the appropriate forum for that graphics program. If you want more general feedback then you should use the webdesigners forum, however as I mentioned, this isn't something we can give general directions on other than what I mentioned above.

To get the same text back into place, you would need to know what font was used to create it and you would then need to use the same font to recreate the image. A graphic program won't simply let you edit existing text though.

Hope this helps
