"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Arthur C. Clarke, "Profiles of The Future", 1961

You just blew my mind when you grouped those two together and the text popped up behind it.

[DeanTonberry]

not really sure how to use and what the masking does.. but thanks for the uploads.

[aeak]

thank you man, the content you put out there 5 years ago is still useful :) cheers

[baretings]

looks good, but why don't you just put the layer on top of the text instead?

Can u use adobe photo shop to do this?

[blmcmanus]

couldn't you just set the "music" to the back? just a thought?

[MrDetwaa]

nice. But I don't know fireworks. Is it doable with PS? :D

You want to maintain at least good line art and keeping everything vector is key to a clean title/nameplate. I was shown a technique that avoids the hard clipping-path-look some do, but it is not fully relying on some kind of Photoshop alpha channel ether. Have you received any feedback from other production artists like my self. Can any page designers ring in on this?
