Hi Guys,
My brain isnt working to well and the boss has gone to sleep.
Having problems getting this right
I have text over an image, and created an offset shadow around the text so the image is separated from the text.
However I cant seem to get the preview before i cut to look right, it either wont cut the text (only the shadow), or it wants to cut everything as in the background image through the text, tried welding etc but i cant get it right

Hi, from the pic it looks like the lower text has a problem, it should be red. Can I assume that everything else cuts except that text? If not can you attach the file and I'll see if I can cut it.
