Hi there,
I am a newbie to Photoshop but would like to learn more.
What I am trying to do is get this text (has a transparent background) to have the light / dark effect like the second pic. I have been told that I need to add a vector mask and then apply a gradient to it.
The problem is whenever I try to do that the gradient then tries to apply to the background... so it doesnt work.
Could someone please explain to me exactly how to do this.
Many thanks in advance.
