I have searched for a solution here – apologies if I am duplicating someone’s post – but the exact solution eludes me.

Modify The Text Layer
I have downloaded the source files provided for Droid (Joomla1.5 none exist for 1.7).
I have Fireworks and Photoshop, but I don’t know what I have to do in either of these applications with the logo source psd to enable me to change just the lettering:- JA Droid to MySite for example – without losing the actual design, look and layout of the logo. I don’t need to change the colour or the look of the text – just the text itself.

Please, could a clever person explain the exact steps I need to take – in detail please – to select and edit the text layer; either in Photoshop or in Fireworks.

Droid has the exact visual profile for my site and apart from changing articles/categories etc and the slideshow, images only the text of the default logo text needs to reflect my website.

With Grateful Thanks,

Mike.

Hi

First of all you need to install the fonts in the fonts folder downloaded

Then go to PSD folder and open the logo.psd file with Photoshop

As you can see in the image the text is managed by this layer

go to the left bar and select the Text button

Then go to the text that need to be changed and select it

Write your text into that field repeat the same for the other text layer “July 10 Template with Google Font”

after done that go to file Save for web and choose Png-24 as format click on save and you have

your new logo.png

Thank you for your very fast response.

Firstly, I will look for the fonts you mention. I presume that I have to put the fonts in my font folder on my PC or should they go in Photoshop ?

Next I will attempt at following your instructions, and report back to you whether or not I succeed.

Thank you again.

Click on right mouse button on the font file and install it, after installed Photoshop will load the new font

Sorry for me being so stupid, but exactly where should I right-click ? In Photoshop ? in a fonts folder ? or somewhere else ? :-[
