Tip: Start and End Decorations

When using Drawing Progress with a Stroke from Border & Shadow, you can turn on the start and end decorations in Border & Shadow and the decorations will follow the clipping created by Drawing Progress.

Text Outline Order

Due to technical limitations, When working with text layers, the order of text outlines depends on the font you use and may vary depending on your operating system and how it interprets the font. In particular, it may not match the conventional order used when drawing letters and may not be consistent between different platforms.
