Hey I was wondering if anyone know how to make cool titles for the CS with cool fonts.

Also does anyone know how to make the title sort of fade away at the edges? The places I tried do the fading thing but with a white or sepia background instead of just invisible.

.... you aren't talking to the most computer savvy person out there... I'm actually probably the least knowledgeable person with any and all things computer related D:

Is there (in layman's terms) a way to make this picture not have a solid black background? Without any special programs, that is.

Yes, save it as a .png, just as Gossamer said.

Of course you will have to redo it on photoshop or whatever program you did it on, choose a transparent background then save it as .png. If you have gimp I'm sure it does the same thing.

If you do it in photoshop, create two layers. Place the background color on one (I usually use black), and the text on the other. That way, you can see what the text looks like on a background. When you're done making the text, just delete or turn off the visibility of the background layer and save your image as a .png instead of a .jpg (.jpgs do not suppoert transparancy!)
