Fun With PhotoShop, part 3: Adding Text

Can this mean fancy headings for the sidebar are in the foreseeable future? That's the goal, anyway.

I still have a ways to go in figuring out all the ins and outs of this stuff, but at least I actually got text on a picture. I also want to be able to make my own graphics from dingbats and wingdings and do more in that area with my own photos.

One step at a time.

Okay, this came out interestingly. We had snow, about 3 inches, most of it gone by the time I got out with my camera.
