fragged8 0 Posted November 25, 2010 Hiya Could someone remind me how to create this shadow effect. it's been a while and i've forgotten the shadow behind is just a copy of the text but has been erased where the top text covers it and then the top text is slightly shifted up and left to show a small gap between the two. Many thanks Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkenzie1 0 Posted November 25, 2010 Don't know about shadowing that one. I would copy the text then increase the original by 5 to 10 percent then paste the copy put a 2 or 3 pt. white stroke around it and shift it manually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcrimm 1 Posted November 25, 2010 Here's how to do this......Duplicate your text, then place and offset behind the original text. Now select the original text which is on top. Create an outline that equals the spacing between the text and shadow. Now convert this outline to an object CTRL-SFT-Q. Now you can subtract this new outline object from the text you placed in back by selecting just the outline and the back text. (arrange shaping back-minus-front). Bingo I love Coreldraw Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
