Effects

Select a layer and open its Effect and Position sections.

Style (text)

Under Effect → Style:

• Outline, Drop shadow, Soft focus, Ghost / fade.
• Emboss (raised) and Deboss (pressed).
• Carve into background and Emboss from background: the letters take the texture of the background behind them, like a name carved into wood or pressed into leather.

Blend

Blend mixes a layer with what’s beneath it: Multiply makes a logo look printed on paper or fabric, Screen lightens, Overlay adds contrast, and so on.

Wrap

Wrap bends a layer onto a product:

• Cylinder (cup / bottle): wraps the layer around a round object. Move the layer sideways to turn it around the bottle.
• Follow surface (fabric / relief): bends the layer along the folds of whatever is underneath, such as a wrinkled shirt. Amount sets how strongly it bends, Softness smooths it, and Shade to surface paints the fabric’s light and shadow onto it.

The canvas shows only a rough version of wrap effects while you edit. Check the real result in the Preview panel, or turn on Live FX.

Wrap and material effects make a still image

A design with a Wrap, Carve or material Emboss effect always renders as a still PNG, even if Render as is set to an animated format. These effects take too long to render frame by frame.

Perspective and motion

Under Interactions:

• Perspective lets you drag a layer’s four corners on the canvas, to fit it onto an angled surface such as a sign or a box.
• Motion sequence animates layers: fade in, slide up, pop in, pulse and more. Animation needs Render as set to Animated GIF (best for email).

Next: Preview and save.
