Another Way of Creating a Transparent Text
Tutorial in Basics, Effects, Goodies, In Text
Today I will show you how to create a transparent text. We will use ((Layer Styles)): ((Drop Shadow)), ((Bevel and Emboss)), and ((Pattern Overlay)). Also ((Erase Tool)), layer modes, and ((Opacity)).
Open a new document, 310×120px, and white background.
Choose color #4d2607 as the foreground color.
Select the font Times New Roman, size 100px, and write “TEXTO”.
Now go to ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Blending Options)).
((Drop Shadow)).
((Bevel and Emboss)).
((Pattern Overlay)).
Accept the changes.
Then press Ctrl + Click the layer to activate the selection.
Create a ((New Layer)).
Fill it in with color #ECB200.
Stand in the layer you just filled in and select ((Erase Tool)), size 85px, with the values that appear in the following image (pointed with red arrows).
Double click the layer to apply ((Layer Styles)).
((Bevel and Emboss)).
((Pattern Overlay)). Select the ((Pattern)) you want. I recommend you not to use thin lines, nor objects with low-visibility.
Accept the changes. See how the Pattern is transparent.
Create a ((New Layer)) and place it below the text.
Fill it in with black.
Copy the last 2 ((Layer Styles)) you applied to this layer: ((Bevel and Emboss)) and ((Pattern Overlay)).
Create a ((New Layer)) and place it above the previous one.
Fill it in with color #ECB200.
Change the layer mode to ((Darken)).
Finally, reduce the ((Opacity)) to 70%.
This is the final result.
