Noticed that I
haven't mention anything about which colour to use? Well, it is not a
case of temporary amnesia or anything like that. I didn't mention any
colour simply because it was not of any importance. Whatever colour
you've used we are going to change it now.
Click
on the colour rectangle (box) to bring up the colour picker
Note:
We are still working in the text edit box.
Pick
the colour black and click OK
As you can see
you can no longer see the text.
Click OK
to close the text edit box
You can't see
the text you just typed in. We are going to change that now.
Right
click on the layer and choose Effects
Shadow is the
default effect. Since a black shadow is useless we will change the colour.
Click
on the black square to bring up the colour picker
You will see
nothing but black colour so you have to click in the narrow window to
get more colours available. Click as high up in the narrow window as
you can and the choose a very light blue colour tint. You still see
nothing of the text.
Click
OK to close the colour picker
From
the Mode drop down
list box select Raster
Now you should
be able to see the text. Somewhat faint but still, you can see it now.
In the
mid box (below Angle) set the value to 0 pixels
Now we will
use a new effect: Inner glow.
Select it from the top drop down list box, and then add these settings: |
