I was typing last night and apparently hit some strange keystrokes. I’m almost too embarrassed to ask for your help, but I can’t figure it out for myself lol. I read your articles on here every day and I hope you can help me fix a problem I caused for myself. Leave the upper (primary) color box black and the lower (secondary) color box white like in the picture.Click here to sign up for my free Rick’s Tech Tips Newsletter! When you've typed your desired text, move it by dragging the little plus sign under the text box. Type the text you want to have the effect applied to, the font and size and such are controlled by the bar on the upper part of the screen. To do this, click on the text tool on the left sidebar (It looks like the letter A) and then click on the drawing space. This layer is where you want to type your text normally. Double click on the new layer to open a window and name the layer "text". It looks like a paper with a plus sign on it. First, you want to leave the "Background" layer alone and instead click the "New layer" icon which is the one on the bottom of the layers window all the way on the left. The bottom left box is for choosing the color of what you are doing, and the box on the right is for your layers, which I will explain in a moment. If you've used a graphics program before, this should not baffle you. When you first open the program, you will see a lot of open boxes.
