Corel Painter 391
After you convert a text layer to a
standard layer, you can still adjust the
compositing method and opacity of
the new layers.
To convert a text layer to a
standard layer:
1 On the Layers palette, choose a
text layer.
2 Click the palette menu arrow, and
choose Convert to Default Layer.
Note
•
If the text has an outside or an inside
shadow, then two layers — one for the
text and one for the shadow — are created
within a group.
Converting a Text Layer to
Shapes
After a text layer has been converted to
shapes, you can kern letters
individually and edit the outlines of
the characters themselves. You can
also edit the shape attributes of the
new text; for example, to give it an
outline. Refer to “Using Shapes” on
page 365 for more information about
shapes.
To convert a text layer to shapes:
1 On the Layers palette, choose a
text layer.
2 Click the palette menu arrow, and
choose Convert Text to Shapes.
The text layer is replaced by a
group of shape layers.
Note
•
Text shadows and blurring effects are
not converted when using this command.
