You are all very kind. Careful too much encouragement and I'll do another. The zip is up above. :sleepkbd

Wow, thanks Dalia. What is the name of that font?

You are welcome Erisian. It is a beautiful font - the name is Rothenburg Decorative.

Sorry Dalia, I couldn't get a better result. Yours is superb! Some of the windows I have about effects are rather different from yours. However, I could follow most of your tutorial, but my outcome is regrettably different from yours. But I had fun doing the tut. I appreciate your effort and your wonderful job.
The font is very nice. I like it very much.
:paint

Thanks for the tutorial. I really like the font too. :bigthup

While I was inspired by the tutorial, I went in a little different direction and used the BRL script, with some layer mode manipulation, to get the golden effect I was after. I'd thought I'd post my result, anyway.

Erisian you are very welcome!

Issabella and GnuTux, I am humbled by your attempts to follow my "trial and error" conversions of photoshop tutorials. Thank you so much.

Issabella, I don't know if it makes a difference but I am on a mac and also I used Layerfx.py not Layerfx.2.8. Nonetheless, I can see the "fill" and your gold looks rich! GnuTux, you ventured (which is what I often do) and your result/the font reminds me of filigree jewelry; beautiful. How much does it cost?

Dalia, you make me laugh. I admire your outcome and conbagui's. I wish I could do what you do. Thanks Dalia for a wonderful tutorial. :jumpclap

conbagui, that is amazing and I love the background. Thank you so much for trying my tutorial.

Issabella, I believe laughter is the best medicine and keeps us young at heart and that's a beautiful thing.

This is the first time this happens to me:
The font "Rothenburg Decorative" does not work ..When I type the letters,they are regular bold.

Are you on Windows using Vista? Sometimes you have to install the font as the administrator.
