Can you create a meme using this software?


Recommended Posts

I want to find an image editing program to replace Photoshop and Affinity Photo looks pretty amazing, but I can’t find any video tutorials on creating text.

Can it be used to create meme’s?

To do it in Photoshop, you use the Text tool, white text, Impact font, then the key is to go to Blending Options -> Outer Glow, Opacity 100%, Black.

Can this do that?

 

Thanks,

Brad

Memes are definitely doable  ;)

 

Although I have to ruin this post with a technical tip: when you add Outer Glow in the Effects panel, click the Cog icon and set the blend mode to Multiply. It's set to Screen by default which won't work with a pure black colour.
