Then I set the layer effect of TEST to exclusion giving the negative effect. Image 3, enable the background and that's the result.įor image four, I want the word TEST as a selection, then select the reddish layer and the shadow layer and simply delete the red and shadow that are below within the selected region. Image two shows the background hidden and a new layer showing reddish layer with an effect on the layer setting. Starting at image one I have an example BG with the word TEST embossed. When complete you can Export as a png / tiff / jpg Now you can remove the background Edit -> Cut then kill the selection Select -> None That often gives a faint border due to anti-aliasing so grow the selection by a pixel (or 2) Select -> GrowĤ. Try the fuzzy select tool and select the background. Give the layer an alpha channel if it is not there: Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha ChannelĢ. If you have a solid colour background there are several ways, some better than others, to remove it. When you say no background, do you mean a solid colour background rather than a transparent background. Paste-as-a-new layer results in a layer just the size of the selection with origin 0,0 (top left corner) Layer -> Anchor Layer Note there is lots you can do with the temp floating layer - scale / rotate / move for example. With copy/ paste there are various options If you just paste (on a new layer) it will be in the same place and all you need to do is anchor the floating selection. Copy in one active layer / Apply in a different active layer

A selection is image wide but you do have to select the appropriate layer when applying.
