Martin - When I started Photoshop back in 2000 it must have taken me a full year to understand it, especially because Paint Shop Pro was so much easier to learn I kept going back. The problem was Paint Shop Pro didn't come close to giving me all the tools I needed so I forced myself to continue learning Photoshop.
It's the same with Animation Shop 3. Easy program but much more time consuming and much less you can do. Stick around for Part 2, i'll be explaining many more things than I did in part 1.
Lukitoo - Haha, that looks pretty good. I'm embarrassed that i'm a Kylie fan and never saw that video.
Why don't you try using different fonts? Also, select the font layer and at the top menu go to Layer > Layer Styles > Stroke. In the new window that pops up, choose black for the color instead of the default red and change "Stoke Size" to 1px. Click ok and see if that helps.
