Working with Layers

Splitting Text into Letters

Your design idea may require applying different effects to different parts of text. An effect can be applied only to the whole text. So, you have to put pieces of text into separate layers to modify them in different ways.

The program can help you create multiple layers out of a single text preserving the position of the letters. Each letter will be placed on a separate layer. To use this feature, select Layers > Split into Letters in the menu.

Note that you cannot merge the resulting layers back to create one text layer (except using the Edit > Undo command). To join letters into a single object, you can use the Layers > Group command.
