Used pictures taken the other day for my "intimate landscapes". Background textures were from the Adobe Paper Pro extension.....Newt and Metallic Ice.  |

Clive, the font is called Capture itHere is a screenshot of my layer style settings. I really just moved the tabs around till I got a gradient that I liked. Started with a black/white gradient and then ended up changing colors.    |

Used pictures taken the other day for my "intimate landscapes". This is a beautifully composed page Helen. The way you have used the fence as a border down the left edge of the page works so well and the addition of the leafy embellishment acting as a bridge between the upper left and bottom right photos creates a very pleasing arrangement. The font and the gradient you have chosen is the icing on the cake. Lovely work. |

Have to second the comments that Lillias has made. So much to like about this page, using the greys makes the greens pop.

When applying a gradient to text, you need to simplify the text. With PSE2020, I group/clip a gradient layer to a text layer. I do not simplify the text layer I avoid simplifying because I want to always be able to edit the text. |

Elements comes with 5 Metal gradients Thanks Sepiana. With PSE2020, I simply group/clip a gradient layer to a text layer. I do not simplify the text layer Thanks Janice. |

Here is a screenshot of my layer style settings. Thanks Helen. I will likely try this one day. It is very effective. Sepiana and Janice also provided info for PSE. Clive |

This is a great alternative; it keeps the text on its own layer and editable. Unfortunately, we still cannot apply pixel-based tools to the text. If you try Elements will display that pop-up message. I use this workaround to "protect" the editable text layer. 1. Duplicate the text layer (Ctrl/Cmmd-J). 2. Turn off the visibility on the original text layer. 3. Simplify the duplicated text layer. |

Wondered how my layer style post would translate to PE. Thanks for stepping in here Sepiana and cats4jan . |
