Not sure how to make/use text like the image shows i.e Teal text with a whitish shadow surrounding it.
Tried to use blur with text of a different color on multiple layers but it did not seem to work.
When I open an image to edit in CS6, there is a thin shadow line surrounding it. Can I get rid of that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm an infrequent and relatively unskilled GIMP user. I have used drop shadow in the past, and have been using it this afternoon with no problem until I started working on one image where I can't seem to apply the drop shadow to some text. I've got a 3-layer image, a background, a smaller image on a separate layer, and a text layer. Whenever I try to apply drop shadow to the text layer or the smaller image layer, it applies it to the background. I've tried everything I can think of...deleting and recreating the text layer, changing the "level" of the layer, closing then reopening the image...closing and restarting GIMP.. I select the text layer, click "Filter > Light and Shadow > Drop Shadow", and apply and it always applies it to the background.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been desperately searching for ways to precisely surround my text with a bubble stroke. I need this shape to strictly adhere to the text's form rather than loosely surround it. The resulting shape will need to enclose both the top and bottom text, which ultimately will form a logo. I just want to clarify, I am not looking to simply apply a stroke around the letters. Again, I am trying to outline the entirety of this image with a precise shrink wrapped bubble.
I realize this is possible with the pen tool; however, my hope is to discover a more accurate and simple technique.I have posted an image of my situation, which illustrates my initial attempt to pen around the text.
I am using the CS6 trial in order to decide if I want to switch over from CS4. When I try to use liquify, I get a teal screen with a few light spots that are vaguely in the shape of the image. If I select a tool it does not show up over the image, only around the edges. I've heard that CS6 liquify requires significantly better graphics than previous versions. Is my computer simply incapable of handling the new version? I realize that my computer is not ideal for image editing, and I try as much as I can to work in the maclab at school, but both of these computers were able to handle CS4.

I am trying to do something simple which is not working out right. My photoshop skills are limited.
On a blank background, I create a text layer. Then I add the "stroke" effect which creates an outline around my text. Next I want to select everything else that is NOT my text and assign it to an alpha channel to make it transparent. The way I normally know to do this it to alt-click on the text layer. However, for some reason the border of this selection is around the actual text, and not the stroke effect extending past the text. Does this make any sense? Is there any way I can do what I'm trying to do: have everything BUT the text AND stroke effect be on an alpha channel? I also tried selecting by color range... I tried to select only the background which was white, having my text and stroke over text distinctly different colors. But even this way, there are some white pixels left over which are not selected, and the end result is not what I'm looking for.
No matter what I do to my maps and alpha channels, I always have a whitish border. It isn't necessarily noticeable, but it is especially noticeable with darker backgrounds. I want it gone completely. I have tried diluting the pixels around the map edges. Doesn't work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUpon inserting a .xcf drop-shadowed image into another .xcf image - by selecting Open As Layers - it inserts fine, but when I select the Move tool to move the image, the drop shadow doesn't move with the image. I tried selecting the drop-shadow layer from the layers - channels, paths area, but when I do that, and then try to move the drop shadow, instead of the drop shadow moving - when I select it, the entire background moves.

I want to create a shaded area that goes from light to dark (a gradient?), so as to create the effect of a book page (sort of), as in the images on this page: [URL]
I have done something similar in Paint Shop Pro, a long time ago, but the details escape me.
It was taken with overhead lighting and no flash, which produced a shadow under the nose.
I've tried various techniques I've been able to find online, but I never seem to be able to get anything that corrects the shadow in a natural way.

I find out I didn't leave enough room for a drop-shadow effect to end smoothly, rather than being cut off where I cropped the image. Is there an easy way to know exactly where the drop shadow ends, exactly where it's safe to crop the image?
see the bottom edge of the attached example image.

How to create such thing .
When you apply a drop shadow, the shadow is cast in the same direction from all parts of the object. E.g. the shadow is projected to the right and downwards from the object. In other words the light source is far away and it produces parallel rays of light.
Is there a way to cast a shadow where the light source is quite close to the object? For example imagine the light source was just above the object. Parts of the object on the left would have their shadow projecting to the left and down and parts of the object on the right would have a shadow projecting to the right and down.
I am creating a texture image and was wondering how to detach/separate the drop-shadow from the layer from which it was created so I can delete the original layer but keep the drop-shadow.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a logo that was designed for a white background. The colors and shape work well with white. I want to use it against a darker background and would like to surround it with a white border so that it will be readable against the darker background. I don't want to put a border around the rectagular box in which the logo is currently sitting. That box is already white. I want to lift it from the white box, surround it in white and then paste onto the darker background.

I would like to keep the actual text as normal and then warp it's shadow.

Okay so on this tutorial we get to the Step 16, using Macs btw, and we are stumped. Putting a shadow, I've tried this myself, thing is the shadow needs to have the same bumpy edge that the grass image does.
I've seen this done numerous times and this isn't a perfect example, but I'd like to create the 3D effect.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have something that appears so simple yet I want it to look exactly as example shows and do it with DP7.
I've tried shadow too, and cloning/offsetting. It doesn't give desired look.
3D extruding isn't the answer as then the type gets a skewed perspective and that's not what I need.
Perhaps there's some way this look can be achieved that I don't know about.
Here's the example, then my efforts that don't look right.
There's a remote chance it's the font. If so, how to recognize that font? I do know that original artwork was cut in a 2 pc vinyl stencil as I asked artist but she doesn't recall font or program used as it was a few years ago.
