Photoshop CS5 Help

[mbritt220]

I have a word "LASER" and I want to extend the tail of the "R" down to connect with another layer below as part of another word "Medixa" ... basically I want the R and the x to form the symbol Rx.

Can anyone help me with instructions on how to do this? I'm fairly new at Photoshop and know just enough about various programs to be dangerous ... I'm looking to be toxic!!

I haven't used CS5 yet but here's an old tutorial Out did that still basically applys. There might be an easier way to do it now days but it will give you an idea of what you need to do.

Thanks for the quick tip. I tried that but it didn't work, seems there is a missing step because I could not get the words to turn into a shape with points available thereafter for me to manipulate?
