If someone would be kind enough to help me out on this, I've been working on it for last few hours... the .psd is the effect that I want to accomplish.
I downloaded the effect file here: 108 Free Glowing Neon Social Networking Icons » WebTreats ETC
With the help of a few community members & my own trouble shooting - I figured out that the effects file had been converted to object. So I copied & saved the styles (see arrows).
Steps I did after are noted in the red box on the screenshot, essentially:
- created a new text box
- applied first saved style
- duplicated layer
- applied second saved style
- duplicated layer and created plain black text
- converted all to shape
Here's what I attempted & failed miserably to create the outline appearance that the .psd text shows
7. selected> color range >dropper >black
8. when selection was visible, created transparent layer
9. tried applying stroke
10. Hide the black layer
I still cannot get it to work. Do I need to create a mask?
Can some one PRETTY PLEASE give me a step-by-step from this stage that I'm on?
I'm a newbie, please be kind... Please!
I have a client deadline & need to figure this out.- ANY help MUCH appreciated!!!
