Thanks Old Bruce. I've tried that - it's tricky to get it to look the same, but it might have to suffice unless there's another option. Thanks again

Hi there, I know this is an old thread, but it seems the most relevant to my question. I'm trying to do something similar to NBG above, but with a slight difference. I have a logo using a font that has a particular kind of distressed look built in (Hanley rough script). The squiggles that make up the distressed look are 'subtracted' from the font, leaving a transparent background. I've added a swash underneath, which is just a typed letter from another font (Hanley swashes). I want to recreate the distressed look from the rough script font on the swash. I would also like to be able to type onto the swash (it's enlarged quite a bit) with the rough script font, leaving a negative (transparent) background. Is there some way to make a selection from one of the rough script letters (maybe the selection brush tool?) in order to copy the distressed look, and then fill the shape of the swash? What would I need to do to the swash first in order to just keep its shape? I'm a complete newbie so apologies if this is all very basic stuff! Many thanks, Alan
