Semi-transparent + drop shadow text for PSP8.
Alright... I'm pretty new to "advanced" icon making, so, excuse me if this is common knowledge or easy to find. =]
I checked through the memories - didn't seem to be there. Went through tutorials, guides, and all text-related memories (I even resorted into looking through psptutorials, etc.); it might've been there, actually, but a lot of images didn't show up because the entries were old, so I probably would've just looked over it. Either that, or I'm as blind as a bat!
Anyways, excuse my noob-ness, but how, pray tell, do you get font semi-transparent with the drop shadow like in this icon?
It looks pretty simple but I've spent about a few hours fiddling with effects, opacity, raster layers, drop shadow, and other things, but I can't seem to get it to work. Help (prefferably detailed as I am hopeless with figuring out blunt directions) would be greatly appreciated. :D Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Edit: Oh, not to mention, I'm using PSP8. Teehee. *forgetful!*
