Sweatily Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Basically, I want to be able to add a gradient to some text without having the edges become rough. Is there a way to make the gradient apply to half transparent pixels or to have it use the pixels current transparency on that layer as a base?

BoltBait Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 If you have my plugin pack installed, you can use Effects > Text Formations > Outlined / Gradient text.

BoltBait Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Not really. If you want to use a different text plugin to make the text, then apply the gradient later, that's easy too. Here's what you want to do: 1. Make your text black on a transparent background--use your favorite text plugin if you want. 2. Select All, Copy. 3. Draw a gradient over your text. 4. Edit > Object > Paste Alpha Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
