Picture request

I need a picture like the one in this link: http://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photo-i-love-you,-marry-me-image13852040

I'm not paying £6 on that website so was wondering if some kind hearted OCUKer could make one for me as I lack the skills.

Pretty pleeeeease

You want to marry someone but don't want to pay six pounds?

It's not for me.

@Fluttershy thanks but it's got the big watermark in the middle and needs to be a lot bigger. Like 3000 x 2000

Also what font is the writing in that picture?

Bigger version with no watermark

Thanks but I didn't want anyone to break copyright, I just was hoping for someone to conjure up something similar in Photoshop as my PS skills are pants

+snip tool ?

Those pictures aren't large enough, need to be 3000 x 2000 as it's going to be projected onto a wall

not perfect and very rushed.

You legend! Did you use Photoshop? That's ace mate

What font did you use?

The font is Palace Script MT.

Glad I could help mate.

Your a proper legend mate! I don't have that font in GIMP 2, I take it you used Photoshop?

EDIT: I downloaded the font and put the .ttf file in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\etc\fonts and GIMP 2 picks it up

Here's a couple for your perusal. The main images are from a free stock photo site. I just added the text.

Thanks mate, what font did you use in this one? http://i.imgur.com/zPqG0.jpg

Mate can you add a rose going along the bottom of the picture?

I've selected the Palace Script MT font but it doesn't look like yours. Mine doesn't have the pink colour, it's just black. How do you get the pink text with black border?

Did you say you've got PS6? Once you've clicked the text button and are ready to start typing you can choose a font colour at the top of the screen (on the same menu bar that you select font size etc). The font will be black by default.

To get the black border you need to highlight your text layer in the layers panel (far right) and click "FX" icon at the bottom of that panel. From there you can add a black "stroke" around the text as well as add shadows, textures, patterns etc.

Thanks! I made the text 72pt but it's not as big as yours. Am I missing something? I'm just trying to add another line in the same font as yours

EDIT: Ah you left click and hold on the font size icon and drag!
