Mr. K Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 How do I remove (or fill with none) the white color behind the text? I know how to change the color but I see no option for a transparent background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Use Blend Options. {The little cog at the top of the layers panel.) On the left hand graph, pull the right hand "dot" down. (The screen grab is from Photo, but it works the same in Designer.)

GarryP Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Mr. K: Is there some reason why you are using a raster layer rather than an Artistic Text layer? This would be easy to achieve with the right font, and the result would be more-easily-scalable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I tried Artistic Text last night and I did get it to work. It was late, so I need to review my work again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how to change the color but I see no option for a transparent background. How did you get / create this text frame with a white fill? AD doesn't have a Text Frame panel to set frame properties, e.g. fill colour. Possibly it is a former APub object – or imported from IDML? The easiest would be to copy/paste this text frame to APub (or open this document in APub) and remove the fill color there. BTW, how do you change this color in AD – or did you mean to apply an adjustment or effect?

If I make the text block in AD, then the background is blank or none. Thanks everyone. I think I have what I need now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you export it as a JPEG then the background will be white. JPEGs have no transparency.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
