How can I fade this Police font on this car below when making a texture in Photoshop CS6? Like how can I get it so it looks like the White and then the black coming in from top and bottom of text? Thanks

 

You right click the text layer, click "Blending Options", go to "Gradient Overlay", click the Black>White gradient and edit it.

Well, what I would do is just screw around in it, to see what it can do. I learned most of my tricks by doing that. I would use the Selection Tool and use the Gradient tool inside of it.

I prefer using Photoshop, used to use Paint.net at first. But swtiched to Photoshop and now like it better than Paint.net.

Yeah, I started out using GIMP 2 but didn't like it. I use Paint.net now and I REALLY like it. The only I reason I don't use photoshop is because I'm cheep and don't have a lot of time to learn a new program over again.

If you ever overcome your cheapness, Photoshop is a really easy program to learn.

I got photoshop CS6 for about $22 USD. I use paint.net for lines and everything, and I use Photoshop for touch-ups. 

Photoshop is a good skill to learn. Also, it can be a VERY handy program. But, it is a tad bit pricey. Definitely worth the money though if you're going to use the heck out of it.
