how to edit text in a header

[backdoc77]

I"m a noob and was hoping for some help on a basic issue. I downloaded a free template and would like to change the text in the header (attached)
I tried photoshop but could not figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated

TIA

Ok...so i figured out that you cannot edit text in the .jpg file. So i loaded up the .psd file that came with the downloaded template (world of warcraft.psd) In the layers window I was able to find the "warcraft" logo that i wanted to change (at least i think it was the logo because when i clicked on the "eye" icon the "war craft" text disappeared). Anyway, there was no T available and i still can't figure out how to edit the header text.
Basically I'm trying to change the "warcraft" text to "Casually Addicted" which is the name of my guild.

TIA and much appreciated.

I'll take a look at the psd and see what I can do.

Here it is. Not quite the same but usable.

wow that is truly awesome! Thanks so much for your time. Was it an easy job? What program did you use? Did I miss the T in the layer to edit the text? Sorry for all the questions but I think I'm hooked on web page design. Very fun.

I altered it in photoshop.

No, you didn't miss the 'T'.
I think it had been rasterised into a shape rather than text. Then there was several effects layers above and below it which went towards creating that final great style.
Mimoun is quite the perfectionist and does an incredibly amazing job of all his templates.

Me, I'm kinda lazy and tend to fall back on using pre-set styles.

So if you REALLY want to learn the right way of doing things, study Mimoun's psd layouts and learn from a master!

I am having the same problem. I want to change the text in my header to "KK Designs". I would also like to change the very hard to see picture in the back ground and the picture of the baby in the foreground. AM i asking too much? Please help!

You're most welcome Sunnee!

Kellyw-
I could give it a go for you. If I remember, this template was a little tough to alter because of the layered graphics and the brush swirly things.
Do you want to post me the picture that will be replacing the baby?
