Layer options

Ok, we have now successfully created a 300x300 white box...and it's only taken us 3 pages to get there! But please, don't be scared away, for some people, what they have learned thus far could be a big revelation. Just so you don't feel like you've been cheated, let's get some actual text up on this thing.

Go ahead and choose your Text Tool or simply just press the letter T (Windows & Macintosh). Now click anywhere on layer 1 and make up some fake text. I'll let your imaginative souls write whatever you want. I'll even let you choose your own Font! For this example i'll go ahead and use the slogan Fred's Wicked Diner.

Great. Now that's squared away... Let's start to edit our Layer 1 blending options. To

Get started go ahead and "right-click" somewhere on the layer 1 properties box...then choose "Blending Options..."

Great! You have now entered the world of your Blending Options.
