I have a vacation picture that is on a beach.
I want to make it look like there are some words or designs drawn into the beach.
How can I do that? I don't work in Photo Paint to much. I do most of my work in Draw since I deal with vector images 90% of the time.
Thanks in advance for your help.

There are several ways you could do this, I'm sure and I expect soon others will chime in with their methods. I think the approach would vary depending on whether you are wanting an aerial view of writing on a beach (easier, less details)...or if it's a closeup of sand (harder to match sand look). The challenging part would be getting the look of the displaced/piled sand around the lettering.

To Create a Sand brush: Download my instructions for creating a glitter brush in Photo-Paint. The zip file contains an image and a text file with instructions. The idea is the same for creating a sand brush only I changed the settings to something like below. Play with the size and settings to match your sand. :)
Here's one I tried using a crop from a beach image of Anna Marie Island in Florida (the sand IS whitish). The displaced sand is a little too neat-looking, but I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it. You could go back and paint with the sand brush to make it look more random.

P.S. Warning: I probably averaged more crashes in PP when I was playing with this -- aaaarrrggghhh!
That's pretty cool, Patti!

Well at least they heard your begging for an SP3.
