I remember seeing an icon one time with a sort of white overlay about 50% transparent where the text came through clear, I remember it had something to do with the fill of the layer in Photoshop but I cannot remember where I saw the tut.
 I know how you guys like pictures but I can't seem to find one... so basically it's a background image, then a white overlay and clear text... I'm searching for a pic but can anyone help me???  CORRECTION Found one!!  See how the text is clear^^^^ Help please?!?! |

oh the layer of the text, right click on it and select blending options. Then do a gradient overlay and then you can change the blending mode and such. Oh and you may want to change the opacity too.

It can be done a few ways. One, you can change the blending mode of the text layer. It looks something like 'Multiply' or 'Color Burn'. You may or may not have to change the opacity of the text layer depending on how visible you want it. It also depends on what your original color is of the text. A dark pink/maroon may do the trick but white text will not.

^ Black. The original text colour on that image is black. The darker your original colour is, the darker the colour of your "transparent" text will be.
Now, what I'm wondering is if you're really talking about that sort of overlay effect or this? One of the perks in having good memory is remembering really inconsequential things. |
