Re: Adjusting Hue on a Transparent background
[quote="Kludar":pdy6c8rd]As you can see from the guide, the author adjusts the Hue of the text to give it its blueish tint. The problem I am having is that, when I do this on the text with a transparent background, changing the Hue doesn't affect the text color in any way. It seems as though, in order for the Text's hue to be altered, I need to first merge the text layer onto the black background.[/quote:pdy6c8rd] Hi Kludar, There is a very simple explanation for why this is happening. Take a look at the picture below: [img:pdy6c8rd]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll111/rachjm/Hue.jpg[/img:pdy6c8rd] As you can see, when your brightness is set to 100% (ie. when you're working with PURE white) it makes no difference where the Hue slider is. White is white - it doesn't have a colour, so you can't alter its hue. Notice that even when you change the hue in the 'merged with black' version, the center of the text (ie the part that's PURE white) remains white. I know this isn't very helpful.
Basically what I'm saying is that you can't use this method to produce this effect on a transparent background...
