Good guide for illustrator ct. I don't have it, but I use a similar method with guides in photoshop. It helps a lot to get everything nicely lined up.

Is to place a copy of the image file JPG, PNG or whatever it is at the bottom of the layer stack, then use it as a guide.
Put guides in if you need them on top of it and align the points from the font outline you create to it.
Then once you are done delete the image layer. Kind of like tracing and object.
Glad you write this, it was on my Illustrator list, i've said to myself "if it works in Photoshop, it must be possible to do the same in Illustrator!"
I must try that too.
Thanx Curt :p

Shows how "out-of-touch" I am. I haven't heard of Illustrator. LOL. Like I've mentioned in other threads, i do not even have or use Photoshop.

Just a FYI you can create the basic title from a font in Illustrator and tweak it as you like.

Fonts are just paths.

Easy to create outlines from text in there and then you can expand it or shrink it to suit.

Also easy to move points about, change arc's etc.

That is how I make Titles match when the font is close but has little bits off here and there.

Then when you have it, how you like it, just select it all and drag it to Photoshop.

It will become a "Vector Smart-Object" that can be edited back in Illustrator if necessary.

And be fully scalable always as it is vector based.

Also...

Bazzah - Thanks! I used the bottom portion and darkened it for mine. I hate using someone else's work. But, I was at a loss here. I just wish I has the skill-set that some of you have!

THANKS again for everyone's help!!

That sure looks like a font, not sure which one but it looks familiar...

Found this in a old HDD. Not sure about the quality.
It is a PSD so i have made it PNG.

It is does not fit the 100% quality i can extract the TT tomorrow from a HQ poster and repair it.

Thanks for the help so far! It has been a pain! LOL The background with the circles was the easy part. It's the clean title that I need. I don't have the skills, like some of you do, to extract it from everything else and still look good. Still looking through fonts to find something that will work, but no luck. I did just see that there is a new steelbook edition out with this artwork. But still cannot find a hires file of it.
