 Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2008 9:59 pm Post subject: Beginner Help : Hollow Text |
 |
|
Hello, thanks for the help in advance.
I'm completely new to Photoshop and am having a lot of trouble just figuring out how to do simple things. It's been frustrating, to say the least.
All I want to do is make hollow text over a transparent background so I can place the text over any color and I'll have the hollow text show.
So if I have some text, I just want it to be hollow and have the center be whatever the color of the background is. Maybe this isn't as easy as I thought, but I know I can make the background layer transparent of a new project... if I add some text and make it hollow, won't it adapt to the background color?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks. |

Hi lukin,
- Outline the text layer with "Stroke" effect (Layer > Layer Style > Stroke)
- In the Layers palette, set the "Fill" to "0"
Hope this helps.

I was interested when I saw this... I have photoshop elements 3.0... Is there any way I can do this? I tried, can't do the stroke effect... |

In Elements, you can add "Stroke" by double-clicking a stroked style in the "Styles and Effects" palette.
However, you can't change layer "Fill"
