Hi Guys,

I have never tried to edit an EPS file before. I'm making a simple graphic for my company's Instagram page. I have downloaded a few Neon vector files. I just need to convert what I'm seeing into text of my choosing with a transparent background so I can add to a layer on a picture. This is the vector:

Can someone point me to a tutorial for a complete beginner?

The file has to be ungrouped and each letter should be re-grouped.

Then you can import your picture into a new Inkscape document and copy the letters you want from the vector file to your picture.

If you're on Windows, you'll have to take some extra steps to be able to open EPS files. Here's the FAQ item for that:

However, it's written somewhat in generalities. So if you get lost, tell us specifically where you're getting lost, and we can help.

I installed Ghostscript and can open the file.

Got this working by ungrouping and moving individual letters off. Thanks for the tips.

It looks okay but is there a tool in Inkscape that will line up the text automatically? I've fiddled around with it but can't seem to get the letters straight.

I don´t think that´s very hard to build from scratch.
Simple doubled with thicker lines and blur for the shine beneath the white objects:

Maybe there´s a font that will do already with an thickened outline blurry double underneath.

Cheers
