    I love the effect of the OOB stuff and adding a various backgrounds and textures is an added bonus to an already great idea. Thanks

    I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the OOB article. There are so many ways to use your imagination and creativity to spice up an OOB image to make it more interesting — and to exercise the right side of the brain at the same time. :-)

    I have typed a sentence on the background portion of my OOB, but the type will not show on the picture. It shows in the Layers panel but will not show on the picture. Help, please.
