    Newbie help, trying to edit text on a .jpg

    Hello,

    I'm pulling what little hair I have left out, trying to edit text on a .jpg.

    I'm doing this for a friends birthday, thought it would be just a quick little thing that (unfortunately) I have spent countless hours/days over.

    I know it's cheeky to ask, but i've attached the image in question.

    Basically i'm trying to change Before Sunset, to Before Funset on the front and spine.

    (yes I know exactly how cheeky and inane that sounds, but it's for a friends birthday and it will make them laugh - lots)

    If anyone could tell me how to edit the text in the attachment from Before Sunset to Before Funset without it looking too shabby, I would be very greatful - cross internet screen hugs and all that.

    Thanks

    Jonstar

    Do you use Photoshop? If you can identify the font used, cxreate the F on a new layer, use the clone tool to cover the S.

    Apologies, what do you mean 'use the clone tool to cover the S'? Can you expand on that?

    I can't identify the exact font, would have to use trial and error to find a match?

    On a new layer paint over the S. Then make an F using the text tool with a similar font and color. Size and move as required. Same with the other S.

    If you can't find a good match, cover all the old text and retype the whole thing with something close...

    Thanks Hawkeye, my friend recommended this forum to me. He wasn't wrong!

    Can I ask what font you used for the 'F'?

    Thanks

    On your original image, if I'm not mistaken , that's from the Americana font family.....Americana BT Font - Free Download

    Americana EF Regular to be exact.
