What Sets Text Exploder Apart from Decompose Text?

Text Exploder and Decompose Text handle text decomposition differently, leading to distinct advantages for Text Exploder users:

Decompose Text: Each text layer retains the full, original text but reduces the opacity of unwanted characters to zero using expressions. This approach results in all layers having the same bounding box as the full text, making it difficult to select individual layers by clicking on them.

Text Exploder: Avoids these issues entirely. Each layer is truly decomposed, allowing for precise selection and manipulation. No expressions or modifiers – just clean and simple text layers.
