TNG Caption This #198: A Second Look

[BlobVanDam]

Caption Balloons:

Somewhat of an involved process. Probably too involved. In my photoshop program it has Add Text. After it's decided where I want them on the photo and what size the words should be, I then open it in paint. I then use the tools to make the various bubbles.
Then, I go back into my photoshop and re-add the text. Yeah, I know...I'm insane. But I've done it so many times, I can do it in my sleep. Plus I enjoy it. (goes with that whole "insane" thing I got going)

Anyways, that's the gist of it...done by hand...every bubble

So you use Photoshop, yet use PAINT for the speech bubbles? Photoshop has several ready made speech bubbles in the shapes. It's as easy as dragging a shape, then adding text. It would be much easier for you.

Data: "Fascinating."
Beverly: "Fascinating."
Picard: "Fascinating."
Geordi: "Fascinating."
Galactus: "This is too easy."

Alte, power to you... but yeah, definitely look into a speech bubble shape and save yourself some time.

There are a few websites that will generate speech bubbles for you, but they're a mixed bag. One does the balloons as png or gif, but they're not true type. Another puts the balloons in your own image, but there's a file size limit and they stick an artifact in it (which you can easily edit out though). Superlame.

Geordi: "Well, it's clear they're quite primitive, technologically speaking."
Beverly: "Aw, I think they're cute."
Picard: "We probably should steer clear of this one; non interference prime directive takes precedence."
Data: "Sir, I believe we're a little too late. They've seen us."
Beverly: "Maybe we can drop them a little cargo before we leave?"

Picard: "Edutainment, Mister Data!"

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality.

Picard: "What the devil is everybody looking at? What the..."

Data: "Sir, I believe your request is factually incorrect. If one were to pull your digitus secundus manus, foul-smelling gaseous stomack expellants would not result."

Oh, My Garsh...The Badger's Queen Remake...I am once again humbled...

I had the same thought when I saw the pic. Nice reference.

 

[Gary7]

^ Agreed. Simple, to the point... epic.

Picard: "As you know, Mr. Data, I do encourage the crew to pursue their hobbies and we all try to be as supportive as possible. However, in the future, I think you should enjoy your Snail Racing by yourself. The good Doctor has become catatonic, and I believe I just heard Mr. LaForge snore."

The crew waited with baited breath to see who would take home a SAG award.

Tasha: But Captain-

Picard: No, the sash belongs to Worf, so he gets to wear it.

Worf: Don't worry, I plan on getting a new one next year. You can have this one once it gets here.

Tasha: I'll look forward to it!

Riker: Another planet that Kirk visited destroyed.

Data: Well, in fairness, his solution to their social-political issues only involved seducing their leaders daughter.

Pressman: Fine, I'll go over to the X-Files! I'll bet they'll give me 3 different roles!

Picard: Data, who is the person who said: "KHAAAAAAAN!"

Data: Kirk, James T.

Picard: That's it!

 

[Nerys Myk]

PRESSMAN: Hey, check out the Betazoid, either of you ever tap that?

 

[Alrik]

Riker: "Damn it! Pause and rewind 2 seconds. I still can't find R2-D2."

Pressman: "So help me Will. If that klingon is mocking me with his 'caveman' walk behind my back again, he's going on report."

Data: "Well sir, if he were to be standing next to the force field when it was turned off, the explosive decompression would blow him into space."

Picard: "Yes Data! That's it! Now the question is, how do we get Wesley alone in the shuttle bay?"

WHERE'S WORF?

MOST excellent!!!!
