Splitting Layers
Your design idea may require applying different effects to different parts of
text. The program allows you to use the same color, material, or texture with
the whole layer. To apply different effects to individual letters, you have to put
them into separate layers.
The program can help you create multiple layers out of a text layer. To make
sure that you have a text layer, double-click on it. The Text tab of the Layer
Content window should open displaying the text.
Note that you cannot merge the resulting layers back to create one text layer
(except using the Edit > Undo command).
To put each character into an individual layer:
1. Select a text layer.
2. Select Layers > Split into Letters (Cmd-Ctrl-Opt-T). Or, right-click
on the layer and select Split into Letters in the context menu.
