    When I bring a text logo image over from photoshop, I’m restricted by a box that touches the edge of the letters, which seems to restrict me when adding certain filters and effects by clipping said filters and effects.

    Is there a way of having the letters not touching the edge of the box?

    I’m working in HD and I’m saving the psd at 1280x720x72.

    Put the logo image into a PSD file that’s 1280×720. If necessary put a single, low opacity pixel in each of two diagonally opposite corners of the file to maintain the layer size.

    All the best,

    Tom, thanks for your reply, just a couple of quick questions.

    1. you say put it into 1280×720, I did this (1280x720x72) but used the mm setting, should I have used pixel setting?

    2. I know even less about photoshop than I do Final Cut, so sorry to be a pain, but could you please explain exactly how I put a single, low opacity pixel in each of two diagonally opposite corners of the file to maintain the layer size.

    Many Thanks

    1. “the mm setting” the what? 1280×720 are pixel dimensions.

    2. Make brush that’s really tiny, and set the opacity down. Zoom into the upper left corner of the window and click on corner of the image. Scroll over to the lower right and click on that corner.

    All the best,

    Tom

    Thanks Tom, when I said mm I probably meant cm, as in centimetres

    many thanks
