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

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
 
I'm not quite sure what font that is either, but looking at it it is of the Sans-Serif type. Sans-Serif fonts are distinguishable by the small hooks on the letters. Examine the capital F on that book cover. Notice how on the top-left of the F there's an extrusion coming out? Sans-Serif fonts have this as a means to increase readability of text on the web. This font almost looks like Times New Roman, but I'm not quite sure. I don't get involved with typography as much as I should.
