Just uncheck the gradients and use colors instead.

while it would be nice to have a preview especially for the font face, it is so fast that redoing it is a snap

thanks! :clap

tried jolie's tut and used the book idea from Akky's perspective tutorial to do it. It doesn't look as good as I had hoped, I tried bump map to get a texture on the engraved lettering but it didn't look quite right and I didn't have time to keep trying new bump textures, so I just did it plain.

That looks really nice. Almost looks like the word is cut out of the front cover. :)

yep I think it looks nice...I think the slight blurring if it occurs is because of hte slight distortion of the image when using the perspective tool in any case...

I tried the letter pressed tutorial and there are a couple of things I'd like to ask.
1. Where do I find the tool toggle and lock it? and
2. Where do I set the layer mode to soft light???

That is a .scm file and wouldn't need to be treated any different than what you normally do with .scm files. I'm not understanding what you mean by "gobbledegook".

The script probably opens instead of saves to your computer. On windows I right click and save link as. See if there is something simular on a mac.

1. You mean, lock the alpha channel? In your layer dialog above the layers you can read the word Lock. Next to it is a little square. click on it.

2. Which tutorial are you following, there were several posted here. I used multiply and that was in the window that pops up when you do inner shadow. (Script-Fu - Layer Effects - Inner shadow.)

If you can't do something similar to a right click / access menu / save as.... then what I can also do is as this opens on the browser as a page... I go to my browser menu and Save page as.. and make sure the name retains the ".scm" extension.

I put scm's on my mac by r-clicking, saving to my desktop, then I open the finder and go to my script folder and drag the script from my desktop to the script folder. I still haven't quite figured out how to save directly to my scripts folder on a mac yet.
