Ok I finally got it. Thank you! I think the one thing that could be tripping people up bc it did for me was the color fill at the bottom. When you add the rectangle or font make sure that color fill button is not clicked. Mine was as a default and was messing me up. Now that I unclicked it works! Thank you for your help!

1) upload photo and fill canvas 2) add text (use thick letters - Wrench font is a good bet) 3) tap on text layer in layers menu 4) tap on "select" 5) select layer one (picture layer) 6) 3 finger swipe down (if this doesn't work, check your procreate settings) 7) select "duplicate" option 8) minimize all other layers to reveal text with photo inside

Thank you so much for this video! I have no idea why...but I can't remember this for the life of me! LOL Everytime I need to use this method, I come back to your video and you walk me through it. Your calm voice and demanor also makes it so easy to learn from you! Thank you again - you've been a big help to me!

This was very easy to follow along with and straight forward. Thank You! 🔥

Thank you for explaining this simply, there have been other videos I've tried to follow that just gave so many steps that were not necessary.

Create text, then select the text. (Make sure select is not on automatic) Once you select text, thr text stays selected. You can 3 finger swipe and cut and paste (on another image layer for example) and it will cut and paste the text you selected.

One thing to add, u have to hold one finger when u select the text and when you go to the other layer or else it wont save and u wont get the finished text

Im using a gen 7. My ios was just updated the other day. I have tried making the text as you instruct..but it doesnt work. On the very last step when you minimize the layers it doesnt work. Ive never been an Apple person. I dont think it's me? Many hours of rewinding and replaying. It just doesn't work. 😭 i have a big black word on my oval. That's as far as I can get. I have disabled alot of the swipe and touch features because I've found myself somewhere I cant get back from. Maybe Ive turned off something I shouldnt have? Glad to hear others are finding their way. I love your voice! Im still a procreate and ipad newbie. Thank you so much Dave!

If that is happening, then on one of the steps you’re getting rid of the text you selected from the text layer. If you select the text then go to any other layer that same text outline should still be selected.

I have no idea why this doesn't work for me, I am following step by step, even when I try the rectangle method, and dow the 3 fingers swipe down and hit duplicate, it just makes a solid white square over the photo, and a duplicate of the layer so now there's 2 layers of a photo with a solid white rectangle over the photo. The same happens when I add text, and I swipe 3 fingers and hit duplicate, It just makes a duplicate of the text only to a separate layer but no photo background just all white letter texts. What am I doing wrong here?

Hmm, it could be a setting you have; but ultimately whatever you have selected, when you drag down with 3 fingers and hit duplicate or copy and paste, it will duplicate or copy and paste whatever you have selected. So you need to find a way to have the letters selected then go to the image and duplicate. The selection is the main thing.
