Rawhide dates back to the early Americans. Rawhide uses include shields, drum heads, lace, lamp shades, furniture, wraps, and much more. Rawhide is very firm as it has not been tanned; it has only been de-haired and cured. Soak it in water for molding, cutting and shaping. It dries, stiffens and retains its shape.

Rawhide is frequently and mistakenly called leather. Rawhide has been used for various purposes for thousands of years. Rawhide is made by scraping the skin thin, soaking it in lime, and then stretching it while it dries.

Photoshop CS2 has many strengths, all of which are enhanced by the remarkable versatility of the program. Not only can Photoshop CS2 fulfill all of your image editing and effects needs, it can also be used to add effects to text.

Photoshop’s Warp Text feature enables you to wrap or bend text around an object in your image to make eye-catching, customized banners or headlines. Additionally, you can warp text in either the horizontal or vertical direction to give your text a distinctive look and feel. There are many ways to manipulate text in Photoshop images, but this will give you a place to start, especially if you’ve never worked with Photoshop’s text features before.
