Hi,

I'm using Photoshop 6 and having problems creating a file with transparant
text on a colored background.

I tried layers (text-layer) but can't get the text transparant. Perhaps
there is an option to change the text-color to background and the background
(in this case transparant) to text-color?

Thanks,

susan



Susan, I do not know (or recall:-) whether you can do it on v6 the way
I do it on the later versions. In order to create transparent text on
a photo with the CS versions, I open 'Layer Styles, (on the Text Layer
of course, reduce the 'Fill Opacity' to zero (oops there your text
disappeared!) and there it is back the moment you add "Bevel & Emboss'
and it is Transparent. Also click on 'Contour' and see the difference.

I certainly hope this is the answer. Maybe your road will differ
somehow to the newer versions but this should still be the basics.

If not, someone here knowing v6 will help.
