This may be an obvious one to regular users of PSP, but here's a nice simple text effect:<br>
<br>
1) Write some (white) text on a coloured background<br>
2) Go to Image/Blur/Motion blur<br>
3) Set the direction to 90 and intensity to high (like 40)<br>
4) Select the text again (what you previously typed will be saved - at least it does in PSP5)<br>
5) Place the same type over the blurred image <br>
6) Hey presto! Simple but cool effect. <br>
<br>
For an example, check out the blue band at the top of <A HREF=" TARGET="_new">
