WelpITried Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I don't even know how to ask this question, here is a photo of what I'm trying to do. Any tips on how to achieve this look? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelpITried Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 Ah, so no way to keep the back layer invisible behind a transparent front layer then? Lame. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 The easiest way is to find a shadowed font. Lame! not really, the logic is how do you hide something behind a transparent area? that doesn't make sense, the font you have shown is a font with built in shadow. example: https://www.1001fonts.com/magical-mystery-tour-font.html WelpITried 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

firstdefence Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 One way to do it is... Type a word/s and select an outline font Duplicate the font layer and offset it Rasterise the duplicate and offset layer Erase any of the rasterises word/s within the transparent area of the font WelpITried 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

G13RL Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 @WelpITried, type the text, apply an "Outer Shadow" fx to it. Set "Fill Opacity" to 0% in the "Layer Effects" tab. firstdefence, Alfred and WelpITried 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelpITried Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 Thanks so much! Just tried both ways, and both work great! I appreciate the help! firstdefence and G13RL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
