Reduction/elimination of the layer text

Hey everybody,

I create a t-shirt design where I have a word 'EMS' passes over a layer. The "M" I had to bring black because the picture is white. The rest of the EMS is also white. The background is transperant, so what I'm trying to do, it's also make transparent "M". This way, when put on a shirt in the color of the "M" will be just the color of the shirt.

I searched everywhere for an answer on how to do it and I think it will be very simple.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

You can do this with layer masks.

First of all, start by having your "M" on a separate layer.

Select your "M" layer and right-click. Then, click on 'Create work Path' as shown below.

Click on the tab 'Path' next 'Layers' and 'channels '. Then, right-click on the way to work that you made earlier, and then click 'Make selection'

A menu of 'Make selection' (see below) will be pop up, change 'feather RADIUS' to 0 and click ok. What you do here, is to make a selection of your "M".

After you have selected your "M" shape, you will want to select the reverse of it, so that everything EXCEPT the "M" is selected. To do this go to select-> Inverse

Now that we have made the right choice, we will create the mask later. Click on the button 'Add layer mask' below

We're almost done! Your image should look like this, so far:

Now move your layer of "M" in the right place with the move tool.

Now copy this layer mask on your white shape layer (or use whatever photo/image you.) to do this, click on the layer mask and press the ALT key when you drag down on the white shape layer.

If done correctly, you should see the layer mask on both layers. and your "M" will look like 'cut '. Now you can hide your "M" type layer, and you're done!

I hope this helps!

  • Invert the colors in the layer text and background

    Hello

    Can someone please guide me through do reverse my position.

    Basically, I created an outline of buildings in the background using the pen tool - this part is fine. Then I had filled white buildings inside and outside with black.

    Then I have the text layer. Now, I want to have the text overlapping the two portions of the black and white of the background while being in the Middle, and the problem I am facing is I'm trying to make sense of the texts that overlaps the black area to be white and black when he rides the white area.

    So just a summary:

    Question #1: How can I go to do this inversion of color?

    Question #2: Just another question - is there a better way to create sharp backgrounds? I basically used the pen tool to create rectangular shapes, a little inclined to the buildings in the background - the area selected and filled with the foreground color, which, in my case, I chose white. I left at 0 Pixels and checked anti-aliasing when I chose the area by the way. I'll get this pattern printed on a black shirt, then I want the lines to be as sharp as possible, if someone can you please advise me if I don't do something right in the above. Kindly let me know if there are better ways to do it as well.

    I thank you all in advance and have a nice day!

  • Replace the contents of the layer text by current image name

    Hi all new (I ve posted another topic about 1 hour ago )

    I have another question:

    Imagine opening an image called Gustavo.jpg (my name)

    Now, you manually create a layer of text placed at the right place and you type 'your name here '.

    This layer is selected in the layers panel.

    Now the question:

    Is there a simple way to make a script that replaces the selected type layer that s written 'your name here' by the name of the current image (Gustavo)?

    Thank you very much for the help.

  • Is there a way to rename the "object/text box" in the layer in the Panel?

    I have a provision that has several near areas of text twice in the workflow in a layer, each of them with a minor copy change. What shows in the list of "items" in the layer is the first line of each (default) text box and it happens that they all start with the same text in each. Therefore, in the Panel, I have a list of several items that all look the same and I cannot differentiate between them when I click on an individual that I have them turn on and off.

    I am aware that I can rename the name of the layer itself, but is it possible to rename items in the inside Panel of the layer? I'd love to rename some of them.

    If this isn't the case, I guess I would have to duplicate the entire layer several times, rename the layer itself, each of them almost identical except for editing text in small characters each. Looks like it would be a lot of waste of resources and space in the file.

    Thank you

  • Why the edges of the layer of a text layer bizarre behavior?

    I'm stuck on this. When I create a text layer in Photoshop CS5 and then finds the edges of the layer, and I can't understand why the edges of the layer are actually in the text itself. It is not extending the edges of the layer out to the real edges. This caused enormous problems in trying to align text layers before the rasterize the layer.

    Can someone explain to me why Photoshop behaves in this way? And there at - it a way to make it stop? For reasons too go in, I can not rasterize the layer at this point. I need to be able to snap everything first.

    I was able to force a similar look by choosing bizarre settings in my character Panel.

    You have the type of Point or area?

    If you can't find the correct settings, either reset the text tool or reset all tools. Go to your control panel (top panel). Right click on the text tool. Select the reset tool and all the weird stuff will disappear for the tool. Reset all the tools to put them all back to their default values.

    OK, Bob. This give a try.

    First, open a new file and make sure the background is white, not on Transparent that I suspect you have currently defined.

    Then, type your copy. Your layers panel will then look like the top of this picture...:

  • How to apply effects to layer the layer of text from other text layers?

    Hey people,

    I'm working on a video graphic animation and currently making some changes of fonts.  I added some effects to the police of one of my text layers.  If I want to keep these effects consistent whenever I have add a new text layer, is there a way to copy and paste attributes the effects to a layer to another?

    Thanks for the help!

    m

    What kind of effects are you talking about?

    You can create a preset and apply this. Otherwise, you could just duplicate (Ctrl + D or CMD + D) any existing and any text layer just change the text and timing of each layer. Another solution is to copy the layer with links to property.

  • Use the Edittext text as layer name?

    I build my own window prompt() for a script, but may not know how to use the text in the text field.

    What I want to do is to use the text as the name of the layer.


    Is there an input method or something I can use for this?



    Prompt() custom;


    var promptWin is new window ('dialogue', 'Pre dial the name');.

    var promptInputGroup = promptWin.add ('group');

    promptInputGroup.add ('statictext', undefined, ' name: ');

    var textFiled = promptInputGroup.add ('edittext', undefined, 'Demo');

    textFiled.characters = 20;

    textFiled.active = true;

    var groupTwo = promptWin.add ('group', undefined, "GroupTwo");

    groupTwo.orientation = "row";

    var okDialog = groupTwo.add ("button", undefined, "OK");

    var cancelDialog = groupTwo.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");

    groupTwo.alignment = 'right ';

    promptWin.show ();

    Quentin

    Should be as simple as the definition of an onClick for button okDialog send the value to a variable or use the value immediately.

    var myVal;

    okDialog.onClick = function() {}

    myVal = textFiled.text;

    }

    You can also define an onChanging rather than the value to be sent in real-time as the user types. With each character typed, it would save everything right to your variable. I have to be careful though as malicious code could also quickly being sent to your script, depending on how you manage data the user enters.

    okDialog.onChanging = function() {}

    myVal = textFiled.text;

    }

  • Get a sample of the content text layer

    It would seem that the width and height of a text layer property are always the model they have. The content of a text layer can exceed the width of comps, but queerying with always returns the width of the model. Is there a way to recover the actual width of the layer of text for use in javascript?

    You must use sourceRectAtTime():

    layer = app.project.activeItem.layer (1);

    Rect = layer.sourceRectAtTime(0,true);

    Alert (Rect.Width);

    It returns an object with left, top, width and height attributes.

  • Changing the text does not update the name of the layer.

    With Win7 and CS5.

    I just noticed something with my text in CS5 that differs from the CS3 and also for me, a step back.

    I made a text layer with words.  The words appeared as the layer name in the layers palate (I typed 'TEXT' on the screen and the text layer is named text for example).

    Then I double-clicked on the text icon and this field selected the word on the screen.  Then, I changed the word 'TEXT' for some other say word "WORD".  However, this new Word I typed in was not carried over to the name of the layer so the ancient name of the layer remained.

    In CS3, the name of the layer is updaed when the words on the screen are changed.

    I really want the new text update on the name of the layer.  Is it possible to fix this or is it just something in my system.

    Thanks in advance.

    I just tested with Photoshop CS5 and CS6, and layer update for me names when I edited the text.  I have not configured something specific that causes.

  • Text disappears on the layer above the other

    I use InDesign CS3 to publish a newsletter. I have a plate of the boiler for the cover page, which includes a photo that is placed on a layer below the remaining items. Three of these elements are graphics. Two of them are text areas that lie between the other, each of them above the layer of the image. The three graphics appear without problem. The text boxes appear, but without text. If I drag them out of the area of the photo layer, you'll see the text.

    I tried to copy these text areas of a previous question, but as soon as I try to move them into the space above the layer of the image, the text disappears.

    I tried to place an empty text box in the area above the layer of the image and type the text in, but it will not appear here. Drag the area of the layer off and I can type into it.

    I looked throug InDesign help for answer, nothing helps.

    I serve this plate of boiler for years and never encountered this before. I could create a new file, but I would lose a page 36 newspaper that is complete with the exception of the cover page. At the time, I've been fighting this problem, I probably could have done exactly that.

    Attachment cover2.pdf is the problem page, the old page of good cover.pdf.

    I'd appreciate any help you can give.

    Is it possible that dressing has been applied to one or more of the graphics? If so, choose "Ignore the text of not dress" in the text frame options for your main text block.

  • Keep the layer names when describing the text

    I would like to know if there is a way to keep the names of the objects/layers of text when the text is converted to text outline, using scripts.

    I create files with dozens of text layers (player names on the back of the jerseys of sport) and send the .ai file to manufacturers. This means that I have to expose the text, but when I do, the layers all lose their names and everything becomes "< Group >.

    Can anyone think of a way of naming these layers with the text they contain?

    Hi openbracket,.

    It is impossible, if the text is underlined.

    But it is possible for the text and the outline of the text via script (don't forget that the selected text is only filled with no effects or stroke)

    You can try something like this:

    // required: an opened document with one selected text frame
    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var aSel = aDoc.selection;
    if (aSel[0].typename =="TextFrame") {
        if (aSel[0].characters.length < 40) {
        var newName = aSel[0].contents;
        } else {
        newName = aSel[0].contents.substr(0, 39);
        }
    aSel[0].createOutline();
    aSel = aDoc.selection;
    // name of the new Group = contents or part of contents of selected text frame
    aSel[0].name = newName;
    }
