    Clipping mask question (different result even followed the tutorial closely)

    jophotoshop Community Member

      Dear all, I am following a tutorial on topic of clipping mask closely but the instructors result is different from mine. Please advise. The instructor's tutorial is as followings:

      Green background and White text by instructor.

      After instructor did the clipping mask, an unknown "white background" surrounded the Text.

       

      My output is as follows:

      I am using the same green background and white color Text too.

       

      Anyone can share why were our results different?

       

      Thanks for your time.

       

       

      ***Below here is something extra*** just for information please.

      Instructor's result: Having the unknown white surrounding, she is able to 1) duplicate the layer (Layer 0 copy), put it under the Text, 2) follow with decrease opacity to create some kind of interesting effect - All because of the unknown white background.

      I am able to do it ONLY if I create a new White background layer (and eventually decrease the opacity)

      If you are still with me here, thanks a lot.
