Jexter Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I am wondering if it's possible to create text in a similar way to cutouts, i.e. so that you can see the background through the circular area of the letter "o" for example - without having to go through the cutout processes. I am working with a program where I have to import images onto preexisting backgrounds. I want to import text so that the preexisting background shows through.

david.atwell Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Just create a new (empty) layer and type your text on it. The transparent parts will actually be transparent, and you can paste it wherever you like. Hope this helped! Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

I've tried saving it as a .jpg, .png, etc. and nothing seems to work. I just get white background showing through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 If you save it as a .PNG or .GIF, it will actually be transparent. In the quick view it'll show as a white background, but it actually is transparent. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...
