I have discovered that some fonts do not shadow right in SCAL. Tonight I made a new discovery! You know how you can make different shadows by using that little box to the left of the word shadow in your property box - -well if your font doesn't shadow at size 2, it may shadow at 3 or 4 or 5!

I saw that when I was making my s'mores titles. I thought everyone already knew it though!

I used it for my "Tag Your It" title - regular, x3 and x5 for a triple title. I still wish it would cut faster. :rotfl2:

Nope..I knew I could make different size shadows, but I just assumed that if the shadow was messed up at one size, it would be messed up in all of the sizes.

I think you mean Jackie. They were beautiful, we can definitely do it!

Do you have a picture? I wanted to double mat the s'mores title, but it wasn't any bigger when I tried to black it out.

If I come across any other tips, I'll let you know.

Hey, thank you! I too assumed if it was messed up in one it would be messed up at all sizes. This is so great to know! I have a font that I really love that I rarely use because of that, I'll have to try it now. THANKS!!!
