Anybody know anything about the Photo Shop and using it to make HO scale signs and decals from pictures? If so is it fairly easy to use or is there something better to use for this?

I had never thought about it, but it should be pretty easy to do. If you happen to have a picture or two of the signs you want to do, send them to me and I will give it a go.

I use Adobe Photoshop quite a bit. It is a good program for working with graphics. I make some of my own decals and have found that for a crisper print, especially for text, try using Corel Draw. It uses vector based items which are sharper than bitmaps, and is MUCH better when scaling larger or smaller.  You will not lose quality as will happen with bitmaps. The one major drawback, is Corel Draw can be harder to work with.
