CUTOUT TEXT
 
     
 
 
     
This is another type of text that I was looking for and couldn't find just what I wanted and that was quick and easy. After a lot of *Play* I came up with this method.
 
Can be done in any version of PI
Rating: Beginners
 
1. Open New Image or an Image that you want the text on.  
2. Select Text Tool / Font and Size. Color is immaterial.
TIP!! Large Wide fonts work best with a large Size. I used size 96
3. Mode / Selection  
4. Copy and Paste the Base Image  
5. Type in your Text  
6. Open Layer Manager and click on the top layer to activate it…. Now you have the selection where it should be
 
7. Hit Delete  
8. Hit the Spacebar to clear the Selection  
9. R/C Shadow Color Black Settings /10 /10 /25 /100/5  
10. This step is Optional: PaintBrush/ Size 3 / Color White / Creative / Paint On Edges (POE)  
11. Change to Pick Tool and add a Soft Edge of 4-5  
12. R/C Merge All  
13. Crop the Image as the POE will have added a White Edge around the whole Image
 
   
I hope you enjoyed this Tutorial and that it is of use to you
