Adding text

Post by Jim Gordon »

I have just added the plugin "z Text" to AfterShot Pro but when I try to get more info as to how to use it the site does not exist.
How do I add text to AfterShot Pro ? It looks like I need to do it in Paint Shop Pro then move it to AfterShot Pro, then use the plugin.
Just what are the steps I should use? Thanks Jim

zText
1. Open ASP
2. Goto PlugIns tab - find zText (assuming you installed it.)
3. Just below the title, enter your text
4. Choose a font
5. Play with the sliders for the position (within this layer... Each layer can have separate text)
6. Click on the other tabs: Basic, Transform, Preset, and Shadow for more options.

Sorry if I am not detailed enough for you because I am new to zText too.

Sounds messed up....

Install the plugin in AS, Select an image, navigate to the plugin, enter text, select a font and push the sliders until the location is right...

cheers

Check the box next to zText.

Type something in the dark grey space below zText

Select a font from the drop list, and your good to go.
