Call Outs or Bubble Talk with PS Elements 6?

[mike2rc]

I have PS Elements 6 with Vista. Is there a way to add text call outs to photos (i.e. cartoon comments) or bubble talk as I've heard it called.

My friend said to use the custom shape tool but I can't find it. I've checked several books, but they don't mention it nor call outs or bubble talk. Is this available in PS Elements 6 or just PhotoShop?

Thanks,
Mike

Right? Easy-to-use, at your fingertips, and amazingly fast ...

Google: "PS Elements" "bubble talk"

Thanks for the reply. I did Google bubble talk and only found the add-ons on About.com. Then I went to elements village...I still can't find it. I almost need someone to show me. I bought this version when it first came out. I doubt it, but wonder if bubble talk is in my version?

I'll keep trying.

Here's where my shapes are going through the artwork palette at the right of the workspace:



Hope you find yours.

Add Speech Balloons and Text Bubbles to Your Photos in Photoshop or Elements > Adding Text (Page 5 of 6)

Select the Type tool from the toolbox or by pressing the keyboard shortcut, T.

From the options bar, choose a cartoon-style font and set the size, color, and alignment.

Click in the speech balloon and type your text. Press the checkmark button or press Enter on your numeric keypad when you are finished typing.

Use the move tool to reposition or scale the type if necessary.

Takes practice, and experimenting.
