Because filters really can’t be used on live text, after a few adjustments to the position of the text, the next step will be to convert the text into a graphic by combining it with the background layer.Ĥ Choose the Move tool ( ) from the Toolbox and select the KIDS text layer from the Layers pane to activate it.
Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and click the Background layer so that they both become selected.ĥ In the Options bar, press the Align button ( ) and select Vertical Centers from the drop-down menu that appears. Press the Align button again and choose Horizontal Centers. To use the Align commands, two or more layers must be selected.Ħ Select the KIDS text layer from the Layers panel, and press Ctrl+E (Windows) or Command+E (Mac OS) on the keyboard to merge the KIDS text layer with the background layer.
You can experiment with values that are slightly lower or higher based upon your preference and taste. The Gaussian Blur filter creates a hazy effect around the edges of the text.Ĩ Choose Filter > Stylize > Solarize. The Solarize filter doesn’t have any options to set but instead automatically converts the black letters into an outline of the text and blends the positive and negative areas of an image. Blurring pushed some of the white outside the edges of the text, resulting in more of an outline around the text after using the Solarize filter. Without the blur, there would not have been enough of a text outline when the Solarize filter was used.
