@PaulSmith1964 The point of using the filter is that you can move around and edit the object or text. If you duplicate the object, you then have to deal with too objects and edit each separately.

Thanks for the video. To avoid the jagged-ness of when you increase the size so much, I would probably not use the built-in filter. I would Ctrl-D duplicate the black text, and recolour it to light grey, give it slight blur, and drop it underneath the black text. Offset it by a couple of pixels. Done! Tnx anyway.

@ultimatetechsite Thanks, yeah I wasn't using the best screen recording tools.

This is a great video, and thanks for posting it.

This is not meant to sound mean, but the way your mouse jumps all over the screen - I found this actually makes the tutorial really difficult to follow.

I had to keep going back over the material to see where you were clicking because it was really hard to tell with it jumping around like that.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
