Sensiwoman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi you all, I was hoping somebody could help me out with applying a denim text effect (built-in effect) in PSE 11 I am familiar with how it works for the gradient text effects and all of these work perfectly fine, however I can't seem to apply any of the "patterned" text effects like "leopard fur, zebra fur, denim or granite" ... I wonder why all of these effects don't seem to work when I apply them to my text ? Has anyone experienced the same problem ? Thanks for any suggestions on how to deal with it ! hugs, Connie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi Connie. I tried it out with my copy of PSE11 and the effects, including the denim, worked fine on my text, so I don't know what the problem is. I was going to suggest simplifying the type layer (Layer>Simplify), but my effects worked when the text had not been simplified. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnBK Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I tried it and they worked fine on my unsimplified text. I did notice something new, though. The effects were cumulative....if I applied one and didn't remove it before using another, they would all apply to the text. I learn something every day around here! Did you double click on the effect you wanted to apply? And did you have the text layer active? Wish I could be of more help and I hope you get it figured out.

Sensiwoman Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks for your suggestions !! I tried everything I could and really didn't understand why nothing happened with the patterned text effects... so I did what I normally do when my software is playing tricks on me ... I uninstalled PSE 11 and reinstalled it again...and guess what ?!! It works just fine now !! It's a little drastic thing to do perhaps, but it worked out fine and I'm happy I tried it !

Boatlady Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Wow thanks Connie for asking about the denim effect I didn't know about that. I have just started working with PSE12 so am learning things every day. The ladies of ScrapGirls know the answer to all our questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
