greetings, i have a project that requires the use of text balloons... comic page/panels type of graphics... and of course it's due next WEEK! regretfully, i'm a novice with photoshop 7 i've found some very basic text balloons in the custom shape tool menu. goto squiggly shape and the drop down menu. i had to append the file called "TalkBubbles" my question: does anyone know where i may find more styles of text balloons; specifically files with the CSH extension for photoshop... maybe someone has created more than the seven balloons available in Talkbubbles. barring that perhaps someone can recommend a good tutorial on how to create text balloons in ps7. thanks for any help. tws

i know "blambot" has a set of word ballons done in Illustrator and saved as an EPS file (you can open it in PS)...

there are "regular" "thought" "burst" and "robot" ballons, take a look here if you're interested..

the advantage with the patyhs is that you can "combine the shape and export it, to illustrator, and type within a _non retangular field.
