User discussion concerning all that's Photoshop Elements (all versions).
by Briantho » Wed Nov 26, 2008 5:06 pm
I have a photo of our granddaughters standing close to each other and looking as if they are shouting out something. I thought it would look really great on the front of our traditional homemade Christmas card with a 'bubble' and a seasonal greeting inside the bubble. I plan on using the new graphic (original photo, bubble with 'arrows' from both of them and, of course, greeting inside) as a JPG within Publisher - but that bit is easy.
Is there a 'shape' for the bubble I can get hold of from somewhere and then manipulate next to the photo? Maybe a tutorial covering shapes that is relevant to this sort of thing..?
Many thanks in advance for your usual great help.

Brian,
Photoshop Elements has a custom shape tool that includes a set of talk bubbles of various shapes and styles that you can add and resize. Should be one in there that's suitable.

Many thanks Bob. I thought I'd looked but obviously not hard enough - duh!

"Speech bubble" entered into Google Images also brings up many options.

Thanks John. I suddenly had a small amount of brain activity and found some easy-to-manipulate bubbles within Publisher and very nice they look too!

Brian,
Seems that there was a recent link to a good source of these - maybe here, or in the Premiere Elements forum on Adobe. If I can locate that link (should it not be one from a Google search), I'll post it to this thread. I *believe* that it was Robert Johnson, who posted that link.
I usually just build mine in Adobe Illustrator, and then Place them in Photoshop for manipulation, even if my final use will be in an NLE.

Thanks Bill. I must admit, the Publisher ones worked out well and they have 'handles' everywhere you need them. All the same, it's very handy to know about the alternatives.

If you need bubbles and other "stamps" that you can load into the titler, Techsmith has many different kinds. They are actually intended for Snagit. http://www.techsmith.com/snagit/accessories.aspScroll down the page till you come to Stamps. For a simple bubble, you can do your own right in the titler by combining circle and/or square shapes. Then you drag your text over the bubble. Use the "bring to front" or "send to back" commands so the title is in front.
