Magnifying glass effect just on one layer

	Magnifying glass effect just on one layer by Matt Frodsham on Jun 29, 2008 at 6:12:48 pm Hi guys, just watched the tutorial on making a magnifying glass but it doesn't quite fit the bill. I have lines of text (credits) scrolling on and I need it to grow/magnify when it rolls across the centre. I don't want the background to magnify so I don't think I can use an adjustment layer like the tut (unless there's a way to bypass layers with one) and the 'magnify' effect doesn't just increase scale it doubles the text and magnifies it above the original. This sounds so simple but I can't figure it out! Thanks in advance for any help Respond to this post     Return to posts index

	Re: Magnifying glass effect just on one layer by Matt Frodsham on Jun 30, 2008 at 6:55:40 am I know I need to use that, it's how to implement it. I'll have an experiment but because the text layer will be moving and I need the bulge area to stay static I don't think I can apply the ffect to text layer, and I need the background to stay un-magnified so I don't think I can use an Adjustment layer to hold it? thanks for the reply anyway dude Respond to this post     Return to posts index
