  • Fill text with gradient?

    Posted by Per Rönnecke on October 5, 2007 at 7:32 pm

    Hi!

    I would like to fill a text with a gradient based on the row, not just for each letter. I want the text row to be white in the middle and darker to the left and right.

    Is that possible to do?

    Thanks!

    /Per

    One way might be to create a layer with two components – your text, and a rectangular shape with a radial gradient fill.

    Make sure the text is on top of the shape, then change the blend mode for the text to ‘stencil alpha’.

    The rectangle can be moved and resized until you find the right look.

    Best,
    Mike
