Can anyone help me, I'm trying to create a web page, but what i want to do is make the name in the background image, so that it flashes sort of like my sig, but basically using the image itself as the lettering, so it sort of looks like the letters have been cut out of the background forming the letters. I know of a way to do this but it takes ages to get each letter done, is there any software out there that will make the process alot quicker?
