how you do big?

[Arbitror]

They disabled tbig text, b/c people were spamming...

[GorillazMiko]

Put a "=" sign around the words.
Example:

• Eggs

That should come out as:

Eggs

If you want any other codes, ask me.

---

Eggs: _superscript

---

Eggs: ^superscript

---

Eggs: monospace

Grey writing with instructables scribble?
thanks

[GorillazMiko]

Just check out NachoMahma's orangeboard.

If you somehow don't know what an orangeboard is, just click the link and scroll down until you see something doing with Instructables format or text.

• Eggs.

[csmiler]

How do you get that little gray circle thing before "eggs"?

[csmiler]

it well good i dunno how 2 do it myself tho someone come roung to ma house and help me thanks ...x

[CAbeachguy]

This is a nice Instructable, but there are a number of steps to accomplish the goal. Or... If you are driving a Mac you could just download Poladroid UK for free and accomplish much of the same in about 5 seconds (without owning Photoshop) with any digitized photo you've got.

[fatrickuk]

yeah, I get your point of taking shortcuts but then it's always better to know how to do it on your own, isn't it?

[beyondimagination]

Cool

[coreyjune12]

I have a setting on my camera that does this. It was an $89 camera.

Aren't Polaroid images traditionally square?

[fatrickuk]

You can make it square but I just want to show how roughly it can be done with Photoshop. There are some polaroid images that are in rectangle shape, don't know if you have seen it.

[pooandwee]

this result is actually not as good as i had expected, ive seen better polaroid tuts. it would be easier to print it out and cut it out with a polaroid border

[gmjhowe]

Im a professional, and i love photoshop, and use it daily, but this is one of those things, where the final result would look best made by hand.

[Patrik]

It would help a lot if you actually used the polaroid print format as well. I.e. 3.25x4.25" prints, with an approximately 3x3" image.
