Transparent Text Effect

Transparent Text Effect with Adobe Fireworks CS3 or below

Follow the steps given below:

• Step 1: Open Fireworks and create a new file of size 400x400 pixels.
• Step 2: Import an image (File >> Import or press Ctrl+R)) you would like to edit. Our example is shown below:



• Step 3: Draw a rectangle using Rectangle Tool with the dimensions of 190x112 pixels set Fill Color as #993366 and Stroke Color as #FFFFFF. Note: Make sure that the Stroke Category is Pixel Soft (Pencil>>1-Pixel Soft). Place your rectangle on the bottom of the image and set the Opacity as 50. The Opacity is displayed under the right side of the Properties panel.
• Step 4: Select the Text Tool and write any text as you like.
• Step 5: Now you are going to apply Emboss effect. For this you need to click the text. Now on the right side of the properties window, you will find Filters, click over the + symbol and choose Inset Emboss from Bevel and Emboss. Click on the tiny blue circle with "i" next to the Inset Emboss filter (Edit and arrange live filters button) and set the following values for the filter: Contrast – 58%, Softness – 0, Angle – 135, Width – 2 and untick the Show object. See the illustration below that will show how to set the Inset emboss effect:



• Step 6: Draw a line under the text ‘Nature’s Beauty’ using Pen Tool and the Stroke Category should be Pixel-Hard. Now write any text (as you like) under line. Choose the text color as black and the outline of the text as white. The image below will show how the transparent text will appear:
