BoltBait Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Add a new layer. Place your water mark text on that layer. Press F4 to edit this layer's properties. Reduce the Opacity of this layer. Click OK to finalize. 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a logo (designed and finalized) this design saved as JPG file, want to put it as a background in my slides to be displayed in each page, as well in the footer and header, but should be displayed as a shadow, I could not find the way to add layer and make this effect done, is there any video or some way easy to explain it? Thanks for the efforts always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Why can't you use the steps that BoltBait gave you? It should work.

See the attached files explaining what is showing at my end side, at step 03, the opacity at any degree, when I click OK, still showing me the same displayed picture, which means if I leave it at 255, or less or more, no any effects, I followed the steps as mentioned, but no results, probably there is something missing that should be set before or something else, thanks for feedback anyway, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 You are adjusting the opacity of an empty layer. Turn on the Layers window, so you can see what you're doing. Press F7 to turn it on. And follow BoltBait's steps, in the order he gave them. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

Eli Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 You can not see any changes because you are not working on the correct layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question: I need to use [design] as a background, How ti make this as shadow, means to appear lesser than the main content in the document.. The step 1 = to open the file that needed to be edited or make apply the needed effects as shown already,, so guys u keep telling: not working of the correct lays, follow the above steps,,, press F7, F4 or whatever.... IF i knew how to do it, I won't really waste my time and your time to post this here.. WHY not just explain it in simple steps, step 1, step 2, step 3, step 4.. etc ??? then close this topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadJik Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 You have to use transparency for your logo image (jpg isn't working as it has a white background). Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadJik Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 You're welcome. But your post is confusing. I don't understand the question if you managed to make it. To make multiple logos, I used Rotate/Zoom layer (Ctrl+Shift+Z) with rotate + zoom (reduce) + tiling Quote My DeviantArt | My Pictorium | My Plugins | Donate via Paypal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
