The label on the canvas will show you how much you’ve moved the layer - move it until it says x: 27 px y: 27 px.Īfter finishing this, if you want to be able to automatically select layers again, make sure to turn Auto Select back on. Then, drag the layer on the canvas diagonally while pressing and holding the Shift key. So, with Auto Select turned off, click to select the Tradewind layer in the Layers sidebar. This way, we’ll be able to move layers directly below any other layers. With this option turned off, clicking the canvas will not select layers - layers will need to be selected in the Layers sidebar.
If you already have Auto Select turned off, leave it off. Change its stroke color and fill color to #51AEA7.įor the next step, you’ll need to Control-click the canvas and turn off Auto Select, the first option in the shortcut menu. Click to select the lower of the two Cloud Burst layers and name it Tradewind. In the Layers sidebar, select the Cloud Burst layer again and duplicate it - you’ll now have two layers named Cloud Burst. Using the Style tool, turn off the layer’s stroke and change its fill color to #FFF1D2. In the Layers sidebar, click to select the layer named Groovy. Drag it up until the Angle in the Rotate field is at 4.0º. In the Tool Options pane, select the Skew mode and move up the middle handle on the far right side of the text layer. Then, choose Edit > Transform (or press the Command- T keyboard shortcut). In the Layers sidebar, Control-click the text layer and choose Convert into Shape. Fonts inspired by hand lettering will tend to look best (or at least more old-school). Set the font, if you’re using the downloaded one, to Lobster or choose any font you prefer. Set the size to 500 px and the color to #27315D. Then choose the Type tool and write some text - the word Groovy is what we’re feeling with this design but you can write anything you like. Choose the background layer and use the Style tool S to add a fill to it. Since we’ll be creating this design from scratch, first create a new image with a size of 3360 pixels by 1800 pixels.

We’re using the free Lobster font from Google Fonts, so go ahead and download it if you’d like to follow along and get a result that looks exactly like ours.Īlso, we’d like to give a shout out to the Spoon Graphics blog, which was the inspiration for this tutorial - thanks! Step 1 Create an image and add some text This retro, 70s-inspired text effect is very eye-catching and pretty easy to create.
PIXELMATOR PRO TUTORIAL HOW TO
If I use Export from the File menu the location is correctly pre-selected.Back to Tutorials How to create a retro text effect Note: The Export for Web (K) panel "Export" button never seems to remember the previous export location. I would love to see something similar in Pixelmator Pro.įailing that, having a Automator function for dividing images up would be most welcome. These "commands" could then be used during batch processing, making complex repetitive tasks relatively easy to apply across many images (An example building, saving and applying "commands" can be seen in this YouTube video: ). the actions could be applied again) and/or converted into a "Command" macro. Best of all multiple history items could be selected and re-played (i.e. It had a brilliant History Panel feature which recorded all of the users actions within a session (very like a visible undo/redo activity list). Twenty years or so ago, I would've used Fireworks to do tasks like this. While I have managed to streamline the process by using a layer to hold the slice definitions, the process is still a chore. Images with an odd numbered width lose the left 1px width from the lefthand edge, thus ensure that subsequent slicing results in two identically wide images, that if put back together would appear seamless.Ĭurrently I'm manually processing images using Export for Web and slicing images there. Specifically, I would like to slice images in precisely in half, saving both the left 50% and right 50% with appropriate filenames. I'm also looking to batch process a large number of images.
