1.
|
|
|
Open a random picture in Photoshop.
The impatient among you just skip to the step 8 to see the difference between Opacity and Fill.
|
|
| |
2.
|
|
|
Choose Horizontal Type Tool (T).
|
|
| |
5.
|
|
|
Click the picture and enter some random text.
|
|
| |
6.
|
|
|
In the menu click Layer, Layer Style and choose Stroke...
Choose the same settings as I did.
|
|
| |
7.
|
|
|
Now on the left click the Outer Glow, choose the same settings as I did and click OK.
|
|
| |
8.
|
|
|
We applied two effects to the text layer...
|
|
| |
9.
|
|
|
...as you can see under your layers.
Press F7 if you don't see the Layers window.
|
|
| |
10.
|
|
|
Now set the Opacity to 40%.
|
|
| |
11.
|
|
|
Your whole text is now transparent.
|
|
| |
12.
|
|
|
Now set the Opacity back to 100% and set Fill to 40%.
|
|
| |
13.
|
|
|
As you can see now the effects (Stroke and Outer Glow) we applied to the object are still fully visible only the object it self became transparent.
Hope you understood what I was trying to show you, if not completely don't hesitate to use the Forum.
