Transparent text, the definitive method.

How to create transparent text

On many occasions we need to put text on a photo, and a non-invasive and quite cool way is to make the text transparent, which we can then make visible using the styles. layer. This method does not use blending modes, as it would not be a universal method.

The blending mode would be different depending on the color of the text, and also with the problems that would arise in the case of text with multiple colors. In this technique we are going to do it using the 'Fill' property of the text layer.
