Hello - absolute beginner here! Does anyone know how to export text without background to print on a t-shirt? I've attached an image for reference, it is not my work, but I want to create something similar. TIA :blush:

Hey! By default, Pixelmator Pro starts every new document with a white background. Once you add a text layer, you can delete that white background layer and it'll leave you with a transparent text image. What's left to do then is to export the image to a file format that supports transparency, such as PNG, for instance.
