The tutorial you may have seen the use of PS produced mosaic text effects, the use of FW can also achieve the same effect, the answer is yes. Before today's tutorial begins, let's take a look at the results of the mosaic text that has been made:
Specific production steps:
1, open FW, a new file, the size of the file, the background color from the set.
2, in the editing area input text objects, this example input is the Chinese character "mosaic text"; font selected a relatively coarse font effect "founder Super soiled Simplified"; The font size is "64"; the text color is white.

In this case, we will be 16 times times the magnification of the word 4th, and 4x16 exactly equal to 64, so the size of the above text is set to "64". Now see these words may be you some of the dizzy, it does not matter, you first follow my operation, after the operation, everything you are clear. Take it easy, slow down.
3, select the type object, press "Ctrl+shift+d" key combination, to its "cloning" operation. Select the Clone object, except to set its font size to "4", the other settings do not make any changes.
