Making Slides for PowerPoint

Create your background (or find a background you like) and put it into Photoshop. If you're using Photoshop 5.0 you can make your song lyrics look much smoother buy doing them right in Photoshop.

Type your first verse on a new layer and the turn on the background layer. Then save a copy of with the two layers turned on, to put into Powerpoint. Make your next verse on a new layer turn it and the background (make sure all other layers are off) and save another copy for PP. If say, Awesome God were my song, I would call the files some thing like: Awesome 1, Awesome 2.

I always add a dark glow around white text to separate them from the background. If the background is white or really bright, then I use black text. Sometimes I will also blur the image I am using for the background. This helps separate the text from the image.

Make sure your type is at least 28 point. Most fonts are hard to read if they're smaller than that.
