When reading this thread from GrafixGurl about a white fringe around text in the Paintshop Pro forum, I has a go with PSP to create the effect.
I'm reasonably adept at the program, but the fuss and bother to set up the selection of font, line width, colours and gradients was really too much like hard work.
So I went back to trusty old Xtreme and did it in a tenth of the time.
Not being one who knows when to finish, I added an inner bevel to the text (Font: Space Woozies) and a glow.
What I like about Xtreme is that the text is still editable at this stage.
I already knew that it is possible to group a transparency effect, which enables another to be applied, but I didn't know that the same is possible with shadows, but it is!
Saludos,
Bob.
