AngelicGraphics Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Is there a way to intertwine text so that if look like one is wrapped around the other seamlessly? I’ve tried everything I can think of even the selection option in AP that supposed to help with typography but I can’t even get that! It has been hours that I’ve been trying. I’ve inserted a pic below so you can see what I mean. It’s done with photo and text but I need to know how to do that alone with two different kinds of text. Please and thank you immensely! Quote
firstdefence Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Welcome to the forum @AngelicGraphics Just to clarify you want the flowers to look like they are growing through the text? Probably the easiest method would be type the text and then use the eraser to remove the bits of the text to show the plants. Adjust the opacity of the text layer to about 50% so you can see the plants behind the text, this make erasing a lot easier. Also bear in mind the depth of field so would the plant really overlay the text.

PaulEC Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Rasterize the text and it treat as an image?

firstdefence Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Here is a way to erase neatly. Type your words Arrange them how you want and cmd click on the one of text layers, so for example the (BLEND) layer (Click the icon with the letter A) This will make a neat selection of the text, you can go to Select > Save selection > As Spare Channel so you can load that selection again if you need too. With the selection still active, click on the MERGE layer and select the eraser. Now when you erase its much simpler and neater to do. casterle 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
