CS5 rookie needs simple advice on types

[CS5noob]

Hi,

I am quite new to Photoshop and need some advice on how copy a certain font from a scanned image or alternatively add effects to an existing font to make them look alike.

I have attached a picture of the type of font I am trying to accomplish, it is taken from a scanned image and is zoomed in at 100% in CS5 and looks quite pixelated. So far I have used the Courier font, which is the closest font I could find, but I don't know how to give it that pixelated look. I tried playing around with different filters but it didnt look right. Obviously the easiest thing would be if it was possible to somehow copy the exact same font, but I have no idea if that is possible...any help is very appreciated! Thx

Hi CS5noob, a scanned image can't be copy in PSD. But there is a way to crop the logo/text in the image you have to use PATH tool.. just press P...
