[Veck]

you cant download photoshop legally, its a 200 + dollar program.

i can try and send you the crack i have.

pm me.

[endromada]

ok, i have a question... where do i put new text into phtoshop? and time2die, try limeware thats where i got mine, its "legal" i guess... some agreement or other but encrypt an private info on ur comp before u launch the program or some1 can steal your banking or other private info!

[jedimaster86]

for text u don't actually have to upload it or anything into photoshop, u just put the text file into the system's font folder and it'll automatically be able to use it in PS. the font folder can be found in 2 places (well at least 2 places for me): in the control pannel, and in the windows folder. just drag the font file right in there and ur all set =)

Coo tnx
