Flipping For Color
- Open an existing graphic
- Open 2 windows the exact same size. I used 300 x 100.
- Select the flood fill tool/pattern/options/your first graphic
- Pour the scene into both new windows
- Select the A on the toolbar
- Carefully position the curser in the exact spot where you want the center of your text to be
- Left click on your mouse
- Deselect the Floating option
- Type text and click ok
- Do not deselect the selection
- Click on Image/Flip (This will reverse the colors inside of the text)
- Still do NOT deselect the selection
- Click on Image/Rotate
- Direction:Left
- Degrees: Free/20
- Click ok
This process leaves you with a mess, but don't worry about it. Press CTRL+C on your keyboard to copy the text.
- Activate second window
- Click on Image/Add border
- Check the Symmetric box
- Set the border to 20 on all sides
- Click ok
- Using the Flood Fill, pour your original pattern into border. (The pattern should still be selected from before).
