Applying effects to text

You can alter the appearance of text or text drop shadows by applying different effects. You can apply a composite method to text, as you would with other types of layers, to control how the text interacts with the underlying image.

You can also adjust opacity, which controls the transparency of text or shadows. Your text’s shadow should be semitransparent. You can also use opacity to fade the color of text.

In addition, you can add either a focus blur or a directional blur to text and shadows. Focus blurs make text fuzzy. You can use the focus blur to soften the edges of text characters. With directional blurs, you can specify the direction in which the blur occurs.
