7. Adding Text to Photographs. Impress your boss by puttingrepparttar company name onrepparttar 138802 side of an airliner, building, or racing car. Userepparttar 138803 Move Tool to skewrepparttar 138804 text to fitrepparttar 138805 contours ofrepparttar 138806 picture, adjustrepparttar 138807 opacity a little, and hey presto!
