Hey all,
I want to do something in Photoshop (6.0) which I can imagine will be easy but I just can’t figue out how!
I have a background (layer name ‘Strobe’) and a text block (text size 100, colour white, font Romeo, layer name ‘Floobaloo’) with a stroke effect (size 20, orange colour) on the text layer. What I want to do is remove the white colour of the text to leave just the orange stroke, and the background showing through where the white text was.
I have tried rendering the text layer and then just erasing the white out; this just leaves pure orange text, I have also tried magic selecting the text and then deleting it; this has the same effect.
I can supply screengrabs if you want.
Many thanks in advance for your help,
