Rod:
You're very welcome.
Ella Louise:
I've viewed some of your work - so I guess you'll soon surpass my achievements.
To get you started (if you need any tips, that is) here are the steps needed to make a cut roundel or circle.
Create a new image and on an empty layer:
Use the ellipse tool to make a circular selection (fig. 1) [Mine 300x300 px)
Feather the selection with Select>>Feather... [Mine at 25 px]
Fill the selection with your foreground colour with Edit>>Fill with Foreground Colour (fig. 2) [My colour was black - obviously]
Use the rectangle select tool to make a selection over the filled circle
Feather this selection with Select>>Feather... [Mine at 25 px]
Cut out this area of the circle with Edit>>Cut (or Ctrl + X) (fig. 3)
Call up the Metallic Text filter dialog with Filters>>Text FX>>Metallic Texts...
Set the following options with these values to copy my settings:
Text Style = Shiny Metal
Metal colour = Copper
Bevel Size = 25
Add a Drop Shadow = Yes
Click OK to proceed. (Fig. 4)
