This retro, 70s-inspired text effect is very eye-catching and pretty easy to create. Groovy, baby!

My first tutorial, and it was great! I really appreciate you take the time to write such tutorials on your website. Udemy has some resources but a bit outdated. And who better than the team themselves to teach about their product?

Thank you a lot and please keep doing your great work,

I also enjoyed making this and learning so much. It turned out pretty darn good, too. If I do say so myself.
Thanks to the Pixelmator Pro Team!

You're very welcome — we really appreciate you taking the time to say thanks! The tutorials are now more or less a weekly thing so if you're enjoying them, make sure to check back towards the end of this week. :wink:

Is there a way to change the text without creating the effect each time?

I doubt this is possible in the current development.
If we can have a Long Shadow effect - stackable - that would be a game changer no question: hint hint. :kissing_heart:

There isn't, unfortunately…

Oooh, I like that implementation of this! It wouldn't be entirely straightforward in Pixelmator Pro because each effect is created based on the content of the original layer but it's doable.

What a great tutorial! Would love for Pixelmator to incorporate two new features down the line for graphic design purposes:

1. a repeat option (like when the duplicating and moving 1 x 1 pixel)
2. ability to have artboards.

you all are amazing and thanks for such incredible software.
