So i tried following along to the tutorial and i get everything with the background but when i move the text to the foreground and do the 0 opacity and the Shallow Knock Out my text just cuts out and leaves a transparent shape where my letters are and i cant do the black layer in between. Can you give me some pointers?
Two things you should consider: 1.decrease to Zero the " Fill Opacity" in Advanced Blending mode Not "Opacity" in Blending mode 01:47 . and make sure the option "Transparency shape layer" is checked. 2. the Mask layer here 02:00 must be white inside and black outside. if not use "Alt key" when adding mask.
